XDR stands for Extended Detection and Response. It is a modern security approach that collects and correlates security data from multiple sources—such as endpoints, networks, identity services, cloud platforms, and applications—to enable more accurate and automated threat detection.

How is XDR different from EDR?

EDR focuses primarily on endpoint data, while XDR provides broader visibility by correlating data across multiple systems.

Why is correlation important in XDR?

Correlation connects isolated events into a coherent attack narrative, enabling the detection of advanced or ongoing threats.

Is XDR a product or an approach?

XDR is primarily an architectural and operational approach rather than a single product.

XDR is primarily an architectural and operational approach rather than a single product. How can Sicra help? Sicra helps organizations achieve XDR-like capabilities through services that combine continuous monitoring, advanced threat detection, structured risk management, and effective incident handling.

XDR (Extended Detection and Response)

What is XDR?

XDR (Extended Detection and Response) is a modern security approach that aggregates and correlates security data from multiple sources — including endpoints, networks, identity systems, cloud services and applications — to deliver more precise and automated threat detection.

While traditional tools like EDR focus on a single data source (typically endpoints), XDR expands visibility across the entire environment, making it easier to identify attacks that move between systems.

Metaphorically, XDR is like a security camera system that monitors the entire building — not just one room — helping detect complex attack patterns.

Sicra and XDR

Sicra provides services such as Sicra SOC MDR powered by Arctic Wolf and Sicra SOC Managed Risk, both of which incorporate capabilities similar to XDR — including unified telemetry, advanced threat correlation, expert validation and automated response.

With Sicra’s model, organizations gain enhanced XDR-like capabilities through an MDR service that already includes:

advanced threat detection
24/7 monitoring
proactive risk management
expert-led response guidance

This delivers broader protection than traditional XDR alone.
