XDR in Action: The Blueprint for Holistic Visibility and Automated Response

Ben Wilcox and Michael Wurz, ProArch
1:00 pm - 1:50 pm

Traditional security information and event management (SIEM) solutions can’t detect cyberattacks that span multiple security layers, making them difficult to resolve.

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is the natural evolution from EDR to expand coverage and protect against sophisticated attackers. This session covers how XDR provides security teams greater visibility so informed decisions on where to invest time and resources can be made.

Learn how XDR’s use of APIs, AI, and ML for automatic threat investigation and correlation differs from traditional SIEM systems. See a demo showcasing how ProArch’s SOC leverages Microsoft Defender XDR for automatic resolution and cross-product threat hunting. Attendees will receive three Microsoft Defender threat hunting queries!
