The text is a guide to Extended Threat Detection and Response (XDR) by Trend Micro. It discusses the challenges faced by security teams, the need for efficient threat detection, and the benefits of XDR. It also explains different approaches, such as Native, Open, and Hybrid, and provides considerations for selecting an XDR vendor.

From the meeting notes, the key takeaways for the meeting on “Detection and Response – Guide to Better Extended Threat Detection and Response (XDR)” are:

1. XDR offers an evolution of endpoint detection and response (EDR) by collecting and correlating data in real-time across multiple security layers—email, server, cloud workload, network, and endpoint. This can reduce the overwhelming volume of false positives and improve threat detection and response.
2. There are three common XDR approaches: Native (Comprehensive), Open, and Hybrid. Native XDR offers significant advantages in its ability to optimize analytical models for correlated detection.
3. XDR should enable the detection of email threats, network threats, and threats within cloud workloads, servers, and containers, while also operationalizing threat intel from the MITRE ATT&CK Framework.
4. When considering an XDR vendor, it’s important to assess the product’s API integration, end-to-end visualization of attacks, user experience, commitment to improvement, actionable alerts, pricing structure, and managed services offered.
5. Frame the benefits of XDR in a financial and risk context when making a case for XDR, highlighting its potential to reduce breach costs and shorten the breach lifecycle.

These are the main highlights and takeaways from the meeting notes on XDR. If there are any specific questions or further details needed, please feel free to ask.
