Cyberattacks have increased in frequency and sophistication, and the cost of dealing with them continues to escalate. But with this fast-changing threat landscape, organizations struggle to choose between three popular security approaches:

1. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), which focuses on any device that connects to a network, such as desktop PCs, laptops, tablets, smartphones, servers, and more
2. Managed Detection and Response (MDR), a service-based approach to security that leverages outside expertise to evaluate and respond to threats.
3. Extended Detection and Response (XDR), which provides broad detection through a diverse set of integrations across endpoints, cloud, user, network, and other vectors

This presentation will cover the pros and cons of each approach, and how, at Elastic, our customers have successfully protected and defended their infrastructures and data using XDR. You’ll get the information you need to make an informed decision that you can build your defenses on.
