Priya PatelIn a new report titled “Simplifying security operations with XDR,” extended detection and response (XDR) solutions are highlighted as potential game-changers for state and local agencies and education institutions. XDR solutions offer centralized visibility across endpoints, networks, and cloud environments, streamlining threat detection and response. Additionally, XDR solutions can integrate with a range of third-party security products, increasing interoperability and delivering consistent outcomes.
Javier Inclan, a product marketing manager at Cisco, explains that XDR solutions can help resource-limited entities, such as state and local governments, stop ransomware attacks, reducing downtime and the risk of budget-busting attacks. Norman St. Laurent, Cisco’s federal product marketing manager, emphasizes the importance of having a network security tool that can consolidate and pivot between different security products, providing integrated telemetry and interoperability regardless of vendor or technology.
The report suggests that as state and local entities rely on more devices, applications, and tools, XDR can improve their security posture by consolidating tools, detecting and mitigating threats faster, increasing visibility, and improving response readiness.
