The connection of endpoint devices to corporate networks creates attack paths for security threats of all kinds.

In short, XDR extends beyond the endpoint to make decisions based on data from more products and can take action across your stack by acting on email, network, identity, and beyond.Įndpoint security, or endpoint protection, is the process of protecting user endpoints (a device connected to a network to communicate) from threats such as malware, ransomware, and zero-days. Out-of-the-box integrations and pre-tuned detection mechanisms across multiple different products and platforms help improve productivity, threat detection, and forensics. This improved visibility provides contextualization of these threats to assist with triage, investigation, and rapid remediation efforts, automatically collecting and correlating data across multiple security vectors, facilitating faster threat detection so that security analysts can respond quickly before the scope of the threat broadens. This provides a unified, single pane of glass view across multiple tools and attack vectors. While EDR collects and correlates activities across multiple endpoints, XDR broadens the scope of detection beyond endpoints to provide detection, analytics, and response across endpoints, networks, servers, cloud workloads, SIEM, and much more. XDR is the evolution of EDR, Endpoint Detection, and Response. During normal user workload, customers typically see less than 5% CPU load. Testing showed that SentinelOne performs better than other vendors when the agent is under heavy load.
