Sophos Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
Cross-environment threat visibility that correlates data from endpoints, servers, firewalls, and email into a single investigation console, enabling faster, more accurate incident response.
Key highlights
- 30-day telemetry data lake for threat investigation
- Cross-product correlation across endpoints, firewalls, and email
- Live endpoint querying for active incident response
- Automated threat hunting across your environment
- Integrated with Sophos MDR response workflows
Threat detection that sees across the whole environment
Most security tools watch one layer: endpoint tools watch endpoints, firewall logs watch the network, email security watches email. Attackers move between layers, they arrive via email, execute on an endpoint, then pivot across the network. Sophos XDR is built to follow that movement, correlating data across every security layer into a unified detection and investigation console.
XDR vs. EDR: what's the difference?
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) covers endpoints only. XDR (Extended Detection and Response) extends that coverage to include network, cloud, email, and identity data, giving a complete picture of an attack across every vector rather than just one.
What Sophos XDR provides
30-day telemetry data lake
Every security event across your endpoints, firewalls, email, and cloud environments is stored for 30 days. During an investigation, Sentire can query historical data to understand exactly when a threat entered, how far it moved, and what it accessed.
Cross-product threat correlation
Detections from Intercept X, the Sophos Firewall, Sophos Email, and cloud security are automatically correlated. A suspicious process on an endpoint is checked against network logs and email events, context that transforms an isolated alert into an accurate picture of the incident.
Live endpoint querying
During an active incident, Sentire can query live endpoint state in real time, running processes, open connections, recently modified files, registry changes, without deploying a separate forensic tool or interrupting the end user.
Automated threat hunting
Sophos XDR runs scheduled threat hunts against your telemetry data using Sophos Threat Intelligence and ATT&CK-based detection rules, surfacing low-and-slow threats that don't trigger immediate alerts.
XDR as part of Sentire's security service
Sophos XDR is the investigation layer beneath Sophos MDR. When MDR detects a threat that needs investigation, XDR provides the telemetry, historical context, and live query capability to understand the full scope and respond accurately. Sentire manages XDR as part of your cybersecurity service, you don't need an in-house analyst to operate it.
Visibility you didn't have before
Most businesses only discover an attacker has been in their network weeks after the initial compromise. XDR changes that, giving Sentire the data to detect, investigate, and respond in hours, not weeks. Ask us how XDR fits into your security posture.
