This Cisco position paper introduces Extended Detection and Response (XDR) as a promising solution to simplify security operations. It addresses challenges such as poor integration, alert overload, and skills shortages by advocating for an open, unified approach to security. XDR offers a central repository for security data from multiple sources, enhancing threat detection, prioritization, and response.
