While extended detection and response (XDR) is effectively considered an upgrade from endpoint detection and response, enterprises must still begin with a strong EDR foundation.

Ransomware operators rely on cryptocurrency and other payment schemes to keep their activities under the radar and harder to trace.

Security teams need an adversary-focused approach that automates security controls and compliance and provides visibility into the cloud environment.

Threat hunters are continuously and actively scouring the environment for clues of a malicious incursion.

With ransomware attacks on the rise, organizations need to upgrade their incident response processes to improve speed and precision.

Enterprises using a modern log management platform have key tools in place to detect and mitigate some of the risks from a ransomware attack.

Prioritization needs to be part of vulnerability management if security teams are to keep up and mitigate issues in a timely manner.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly looking at zero trust to help deter ransomware attacks, safeguard PHI, and prevent downtime.

Enterprises interested in managed detection and response (MDR) services to monitor endpoints and workloads should make sure the providers have rock-solid expertise in detecting and responding to threats.

Security professionals need to understand the actors behind ransomware threats, how they operate and how they continuously find new victims to target

If security teams are not logging everything, they are increasing security risk and making it more difficult to investigate and recover from a data breach. Modern log management goes beyond just a SIEM.

CISOs are increasingly drawn to the zero trust security model, but implementing a frictionless experience is still a challenge.

The three must-haves in eXtended Detection and Response are: making data accessible, facilitating real-time threat detection, and providing remediation strategies.

Every high-profile breach leaves a trail of bread crumbs, and defenders who monitor access brokers can connect the dots and detect attacks as they unfold.

SEARCH is a carefully-tuned methodology that balances people, process and technology for threat hunters actively searching for, and disrupting, distinctly human threats.
