By bringing together security data from multiple sources, XDR platforms are able to analyze, manage, and report on actionable items unlike ever before.
For years we've been underwhelmed at how traditional SIEM solutions have failed to deliver on promised results. There had to be a better solution. Since we couldn't find one we decided to develop our own solution.
Traditional SIEM encourages you to collect as much data as possible. Focuses only on a subset of "potential" data sources. The traditional SIEM does not offer visibility across the entire Enterprise.
Traditional SIEM uses static correlation models. Offers little chance of success when detecting complex threat scenarios. SIEM generates an incredibly high volume of false positives, resulting in "Alert Fatigue."
Automation typically doesn't exist. Investigation and Remediation become manual efforts and can be very time consuming for your SecOps team.
End-points are typically ignored with the traditional SIEM.
Security7's XDR Solution offers the features a traditional Managed SIEM could only dream about...

Our XDR solution focuses on increasing data collection in an intelligent way that generates high-fidelity alerts. This is achieved through a machine learning end-point detection and response layer (EDR) that is augmented with human intelligence, cloud-sourced intelligence and external threat feeds.
Those high-fidelity alerts processed by the EDR are then forwarded to what would traditionally be called the SIEM. In XDR's case, they are being sent to an Analytics and Integration platform.
Our XDR solution also consumes unstructured data from other enterprise sources such as security appliances, network devices, cloud security solutions, active directory events, etc. Security7 Networks pre-filters high noise events, low-value events before being ingested into the analytics layer, thereby minimizing the noise typically accompanying a SIEM.
Security7 Networks works with our clients to create specific security operations and security management dashboards tailored to their environment. The underlying queries of the dashboards are converted into automated events that flow to the Automation and Orchestration layer.
This allows for Security7 Networks and our clients to collaborate on security incidents and changes in an interactive fashion.

EDR is a fundamental component of Security7 Network's XDR solution. EDR increases visibility across the entire enterprise, gathers a robust set of information that includes process interactions, network communication, device events, and file characteristics, far beyond what a traditional SIEM is capable of doing.
