Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is touted as the security solution for the increasingly complex modern IT ecosphere. The principle is to extend EDR threat hunting beyond the endpoint and across the entire infrastructure. Cybereason has announced a partnership with Google Chronicle – the latter to provide ecosphere data, and the former to provide the threat hunting capability.

Yonatan Striem-Amit, CTO and co-founder at Cybereason, explains the concept: “Over the last 18 months the old paradigm for what a network looks like has completely changed. Now IT professionals need to secure an insanely complex and heterogeneous environment,” he told SecurityWeek.
