What Is Open XDR?
Open XDR enables security teams to protect cloud, on-premises, and IT/OT environments from a single platform, all without requiring changes to their existing security stack. Bring your own endpoint tools, such as CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or Microsoft Defender, along with any other data sources, and Open XDR will seamlessly integrate them. This provides unified, comprehensive protection across your entire infrastructure, enhancing detection and response capabilities with the tools you already trust.

The Case for Open XDR
Hard to Use Products
-
Products are hard to tune
properly -
Maintaining products requires
manual processes -
Many products designed for
expert users -
Even when implemented correctly,
the products work in
silos
Not Enough People
-
Challenging to find
experienced security analysts -
Key analysts on the team are in
high demand -
Team members working well
outside their comfort zone - Redundant manual tasks
Data Avalanche
-
Every security product
generates tons of alerts -
With overlapping capabilities,
many alerts are redundant -
Security analysts find out late
that they are working on the
same incident -
Easy for an attack to go
unnoticed in sea of data
Slow to Act
- Too many alerts to investigate
-
Manual processes drive down
efficiency -
Attackers have more time to
carry out their goals -
Very little security teams can
do to change things using
current technology
What Is Open XDR?
Value of Open XDR
Radical Performance
Unification of the security stack, with AI- powered detection and response, translates to a faster, better approach to security operations.
No Vendor Lock-in
Open XDR leverages existing security tools, not forcing you to migrate your security stack to a single vendor’s firewalls, SOAR, EDR, etc.
Economics
Simplification and consolidation of security products reduce the number of licenses, tool training, and overall capital required to run security operations.
Buyer’s Guide: Key Attributes of
an Open XDR Platform
Open Architecture
Produces visibility across the entire attack surface by integrating with all your security tools.
Normalized Data
Data from all integrated security tools are transformed into the same model so that they can be enriched and correlated for AI-powered detection and response.
AI Powered
The scale of threats faced by organizations cannot be handled with manual rules or legacy signatures. AI for automated detection and correlation is a necessary part of the Open XDR equation.
Cloud Native
Scalable, micro service based technology underpinning the platform that allows it to deploy anywhere.
Automated Response
To deliver the outcome of Open XDR, deep response actions need to be orchestrated from the same platform back into source security tools.
Low Overhead
Management of the entire Security Stack has to be simpler with an Open XDR platform. This can be measured in total licensing costs and administrative time.
