What's Cooking In The Latest Cyber Security Global Trends

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions are emerging that automatically collect and correlate data from multiple security products to improve threat detection and provide an incident response capability.

XDR is cross-layered detection and response. XDR collects and automatically correlates data across multiple security layers like email, endpoint, server, cloud workloads and network. So, threats can be detected faster and security analysts can improve investigation and response times.

Hardware authentication solutions can be particularly important for the Internet of Things (IoT) where a network wants to ensure that the thing trying to gain access to it is something that should have access to it. A relatively new approach is the concept of embedded authentication hardware, which can be used to ensure that an accessory or peripheral is authentic for use with a given system. In this type of solution, the authentication hardware is located in the accessory and the software resides in the host system.
