Replacing EDR/NGAV with Autonomous XDR Makes a Big Difference for Small Security Teams

The attack surface is virtually expanding before our eyes.
Protecting assets across multiple locations, with multiple
solutions from different vendors, has become a daily concern for
CISOs globally.

In a new e-book recently published (download here^[1]), CISOs with small
security teams talk about the drivers for replacing their EDR/NGAV
solutions with an Autonomous XDR solution and why they believe
consolidation provides significant benefits to organization and
team.

The first topic discussed is the need to ensure coverage and
have optimal visibility in order to uncover even stealthy threats.
Organizations keep adding more and more security solutions that
extend visibility, yet these solutions need to be maintained,
monitored, and managed, taking up quite a bit of the analyst’s
time.

In addition, these systems each provide some visibility leaving
the analysts to make contextual connections and create the complete
attack storyline. Unfortunately, these processes take time, and
some things get lost in the process.

Autonomous XDR solutions can solve that as they provide complete
visibility of the internal attack surface, as well as consolidate
security capabilities of multiple tools into a single platform.

But visibility is not enough. Small teams spend a lot of their
time and resources on operations and manual tasks of security
solutions such as NGAV and XDRs to ensure they make informed and
accurate decisions.

This is where the high level of automation an Autonomous XDR
offers is most valuable. The automation of detection processes and
investigation workflows, leverages analysts to save time as well as
focus on alerts that pose a greater risk to business continuity
first. In addition, with pre-built automated remediation actions,
Autonomous XDRs enable to accelerate and optimize incident response
and run full-scale remediation efficiently.

It is important to note that CISOs tend to also see the value of
strengthening their team with MDR services that are often provided
by the XDR solution provider, sometimes even at no extra
charge.

Of course, the budget is many times what drives the corporate
decisions. Every CISO struggles with budget requests and budget
constraints while trying to balance business and security needs.
When it comes to replacing existing solutions, being able to show
how what you invested so far isn’t just going down the drains will
help get that new budget.

Replacing your NGAV/EDR solutions with a single Autonomous XDR
platform that provides all the capabilities and more, and leverages
your team to do more with their existing resources, will enable you
to provide better security resilience with a lower TCO.

Facing ongoing and new challenges is part of a CISO’s job
description. If you have a small team, some of these challenges
become a daily concern. Replacing your EDR and NGAV solutions with
an Autonomous XDR provides a great opportunity to address some of
these concerns.
