SecOps teams continue to struggle with detecting and responding to modern threats at scale. Managing the large volumes of data that legacy tools like SIEM and next-gen SIEM generate can overwhelm teams and potentially limit visibility of advanced threats. In fact, according to research conducted by the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), 30% of organizations currently using SIEM, or considering investment in SIEM, feel that it is not as effective at identifying unknown threats 1 .
The Secureworks-sponsored study from ESG, the Impact of XDR on the Modern SOC, is based on survey insights from 388 IT and cybersecurity professionals at organizations in the United States and Canada responsible for evaluating, purchasing, and managing detection and response strategies, processes, and technologies. The eBook reveals interesting insights on the market perception and adoption of Extended Detection and Response (XDR) as a strategy for SOC modernization.

Data sprawl has overwhelmed security teams
The rapid rise of cloud-native applications means data is now flowing in multiple directions. As a result, threat actors have adapted their tactics to be more sophisticated, and harder to detect. Coupled with limited visibility in the cloud, understaffed/under skilled security teams, and the growing costs of managing siloed security tools, the importance of a modern threat intelligence platform is critical.
Could XDR be a path to SecOps efficiency?
This has led many organizations to consider the role Extended Detection & Response (XDR) could have on accelerating SecOps efficiency and SOC modernization. The idea is that unlike SIEM, which ingests data in large volumes and requires analyst resource hours to identify real threats, XDR can accelerate threat detection by filtering noise to enhance visibility of the threats that matter.
But not all XDR solutions are the same and it is important to choose a solution that:
Identifies threats along the attack surface:
With coordinated visibility across endpoint, network, and cloud.
Transforms SOC efficiency and efficacy:
With an integrated, open platform that accelerates response to attacks.
Enhances threat intelligence:
With the power of human intellect from built-in community applied intelligence.
