People often ask, “Why do I need a Zero Trust solution if I have EDR/XDR installed?” The short answer is you need both. Zero Trust and endpoint detection response (EDR) complement each other — they are not interchangeable. Together they provide the most powerful defense against ransomware and other cybersecurity attacks.  \r\n EDR/XDR is half the solution \r\n I understand the confusion. Over the past few years, extended detection and response (XDR) products have taken EDR beyond the endpoint-centric view of threats with more robust capabilities. While EDR provides protection against endpoint attacks based on data analyzed from endpoints alone, XDR products correlate data from additional network sources, including cloud workloads, network traffic, servers, and so forth to provide security teams with a richer dataset for analyzing threats.  \r\n However, although XDR products provide a broader view of the network activity than EDR products, their focus is still on detection and response.…
