In an environment of growing risk, advanced security solutions like XDR, SIEM and SOAR  are becoming increasingly popular to protect data and stay compliant in regulated industries. Understand how you can choose effective security solutions by exploring XDR, SIEM, and SOAR with Exabeam.

Ransomware on the rise

Every day customers are becoming more aware of the threat to businesses they interact with. Ransomware attacks are in the news and organisations of all sizes across all industries are in the crosshairs. More internet of things (IoT) devices increase vulnerable endpoints, and a boost in BYOD and remote work are likely to stretch your IT and security resources. Heightened risk demands advanced security solutions to monitor, detect and respond to bad actors who threaten your data and your reputation.

XDR, SIEM and SOAR. What does what?

XDR, SIEM and SOAR have some overlap, but it’s important to understand the differences and how the right mix of these solutions helps build a multi-layered security stack.

• XDR (eXtended Detection Response) — collects and correlates data over multiple security layers to identify complex threats and trigger a quicker and more effective response.
• SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) — collects and logs alerts across multiple systems and brings together information for centralised visibility.
• SOAR (Security Orchestration Automation and Response) — automates basic responses to reduce intervention and improve the efficiency of physical and digital security operations.

Which security solution is best for your organisation?

The best solution? The one that simplifies your organisational ability to identify and manage threats. The right choice depends on your risk profile, size, structure and budget.

XDR’s cross-layered approach provides the best overall protection by breaking down data silos for an end-to-end view of risk. If you already have a SIEM or SOAR solution in place, adding XDR can improve overall identification and response.
