XDR vs MDR vs EDR vs NDR – What’s the Right Fit for Your Security Stack?
Manage episode 477369985 series 3642513
In this episode, we break down four of the most talked-about cybersecurity technologies—EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), MDR (Managed Detection and Response), XDR (Extended Detection and Response), and NDR (Network Detection and Response).
You’ll learn:
- How EDR tools provide real-time endpoint visibility and behavioral analytics to detect malicious activity.
- Why MDR adds 24/7 human-led monitoring, triage, and incident response on top of EDR platforms.
- How XDR unifies telemetry across endpoints, networks, cloud, and applications—enabling broader threat correlation and centralized incident management.
- Why NDR focuses on east-west traffic, encrypted flow analysis, and anomaly detection within enterprise networks.
We’ll discuss practical scenarios for each technology, their pros and cons, and how to decide which detection and response solution best fits your organization’s threat landscape, compliance goals, and internal capabilities.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you need EDR with SOAR, XDR with SIEM, or MDR as a Service, this is the episode for you.
🔐 Stay tuned and level up your security stack with the right DR strategy.
