Threat Detection

Threat detection plays a foundational role in the cybersecurity framework, serving as the first line of defense against potential breaches and cyber attacks.

85% of cybersecurity breaches involve a human element. (Source: Verizon 2021 Data Breach Investigations Report)
The average time to identify and contain a breach is 280 days. (Source: IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2020)

Threat detection is a critical component of cybersecurity, involving the identification and analysis of potential security threats within an organization's digital environment. It encompasses various methods and technologies designed to detect and identify malicious activities or anomalous behaviors that could compromise the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of information and IT assets.

EDR vs. NDR vs. ITDR vs. XDR... which threat detection solution to choose?

Here is a comparative table of various threat detection and response solutions, highlighting their focus areas, primary features, and typical use cases:

Solution	Ideal For	Useful When
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response)	Businesses prioritizing security of endpoints (workstations, servers, mobile devices).	Endpoints are the primary concern due to sensitive data or high-risk activities.
NDR (Network Detection and Response)	Organizations with significant network traffic and activities.	Primary concern is monitoring network-level activities and detecting network-based threats.
ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response)	Organizations where identity and access management are critical.	Handling large volumes of user data or concerns about insider threats.
MDR (Managed Detection and Response)	Small to medium-sized businesses or those without an in-house cybersecurity team.	Need for comprehensive security monitoring and response managed by external experts.
XDR (Extended Detection and Response)	Organizations seeking an integrated security approach across various domains.	Dealing with complex and distributed IT environments.
CDR (Cloud Detection and Response)	Businesses heavily reliant on cloud services and infrastructure.	Using multiple cloud environments or transitioning to cloud-based operations.
