# Extended Detection and Response (XDR)

A security platform that unifies threat detection and response data across endpoints, networks, and cloud environments.

**Extended Detection and Response (XDR)** is a security platform that collects and correlates threat data across multiple layers, endpoints, networks, email, and cloud workloads, into a single unified view, rather than requiring security teams to manually piece together alerts from separate disconnected tools.

By connecting the dots automatically, XDR helps analysts spot attacks that might look harmless in isolation but reveal a clear pattern when viewed together, such as a suspicious login followed by unusual file access. This consolidated approach speeds up detection and response compared to juggling siloed security tools individually.
