An endpoint is a remote computing device that communicates back and forth with a network to which it is connected.

XDR is a new approach to threat detection and response, a key element of defending an organization’s infrastructure and data from damage and misuse.

This paper provides a deeper look at the Cortex XDR agent features, functionality, and technical architecture.

Introducing a better category of detection and response tools: XDR. XDR stitches together data from the endpoint, network, and cloud in a robust data lake. Applying advanced machine learning and analytics, it identifies threats and benign events with superior accuracy and gives analysts contextualized information, simplifying and accelerating investigations.

Endpoint detection and response, or EDR, refers to a category of tools used to detect and investigate threats on endpoint devices.
