About this list

XDR connects detection and response across supported security sources. A platform subscription and a managed XDR service leave different amounts of operating work with the buyer.

Check which endpoint, identity, cloud, email or network sources are included. An integration may provide context without allowing the provider to investigate or take response actions through that tool.

Questions

Does XDR include a managed SOC?
Only when a managed service is part of the offer. Confirm who tunes detections, investigates alerts and operates response workflows.
Does XDR replace our SIEM?
That depends on required log sources, retention, search, detections and operating workflows. Compare those needs explicitly before replacing an existing SIEM.
