A key question to consider, Stiennon says, is: "Do they effectively analyze all network traffic alerts that are coming in and all endpoints traffic alerts and make sense of all that information?"

In a video interview with Information Security Media Group as part of its RSA Conference 2021 coverage, Stiennon also discusses:

  • What companies are missing in XDR implementation;
  • How to manage alerts more effectively;
  • What key features to look for in an XDR solution.
