Why XDR Matters And How It Can Help Reach Modern Security Goals

By Josh Cronin | Jul 19, 2022

Security concerns are constant for every enterprise. More employees working from home (or anywhere, really) and other factors leads to network complexity and growth in the cost of data breaches. This also impacts how much organizations are expected to spend on cybersecurity prevention. It is anticipated that companies will increase cybersecurity spending by 26% over the next five years.
