As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us, next-generation anti-virus (NGAV) and endpoint detection & response (EDR) alone has not been adequate in stopping new strains of ransomware and other advanced persistent threats (APT). Only real direct integration and coordination of network, system, and endpoint can provide true extended detection and response (XDR), identifying and blocking almost all zero-day ransomware and APT. Understand that all malware cannot be blocked and one will get through. See how to mitigate the one that does get through trying to infect and breach. We will discuss how XDR works in the real world, protecting your organization from ransomware malware & APT infection and breach.
