Open XDR Incident Correlation Explained
What's the net result? Traditional security analysts typically have to search for a needle in a haystack to (A) find incidents and then (B) prioritize response. But in the case of Open XDR, Jones asserts, the grouped/consolidated security alerts essentially shrink the haystack and enlarge the needle or needles that need immediate action.
In addition, the technology leverages automatic scoring to help security analysts prioritize incidents, Stellar Cyber noted. That way, the technology reduces the manual work and number of cases for security analysts and helps them minimize mean time to detection (MTTD) and mean time to resolution (MTTR), the company asserts.
Open XDR 4.0 also features an XDR Kill Chain model. which allows analysts to view a cyberattack's progression and the tactics and techniques utilized in the attack. Also, MSPs, MSSPs and managed detection and response (MDR) providers can leverage the model to explore ways to improve security team efficiency and make their cybersecurity protection, detection and response capabilities, the firm asserts.
