Trellix, the cybersecurity company delivering the future of extended detection and response (XDR),released findings from a survey of 376 IT and cybersecurity professionals across North America in conjunction with analyst firm, ESG.

Survey findings include:
- Users want XDR to address common threat detection and response challenges. Current tools require specialized skills, struggle to detect and investigate advanced threats and aren’t effective at correlating alerts.
- CISOs look to XDR, especially advanced threat detection, to improve security efficacy. They also want XDR to streamline SecOps and bolster staff productivity to alleviate staff shortages.
- SecOps want XDR to prioritize alerts based on risk, improve detection of advanced threats, create greater efficiency in forensic investigations, reinforce security controls and prevent future attacks.
“SecOps teams need a better way to collect, process, analyze, and act upon massive amounts of data,” said Aparna Rayasam, Trellix’s chief product officer. “Trellix meets this need head on by pulling all the data into one holistic view so teams can work smarter and respond faster.”
