Episode 194 - Pulling MXDR Out of the Pit of Despair

It’s been over two years since the team examined the overuse and increased malleability of the term “XDR” and were forced to sentence that term to the Pwned terminology dungeon, the “Pit of Despair”. Well, times change, and our intrepid topical explorers are seeing signs that a reexamination is deserved, as XDR is becoming more understood, and Managed XDR (MXDR) is now a reality. Join Justin Fimlaid and Jack Danahy in this episode of Pwned as they carefully pull MXDR out of the "Pit of Despair" by the suspenders. The guys explore and wade through the industry jargon that has complicated views of threat detection and response technology and services, and ultimately, make the rescue.Check out the original episodes where they were placed into the Pit:Pwned GigaByte - The pit of despair (nuharborsecurity.com)Voldemort (XDR) Spawns New Death Eaters (mXDR) (nuharborsecurity.com)Key Takeaways:00:00 – Title Sequence00:30 – Introduction03:18 – Term reveal05:28 – Notable changes in the last two years08:45 – Has XDR manifested itself into reality?13:49 – The history/origins of XDR17:00 – Jack’s rebuttal 21:58 – Wrap upIf you have any questions or suggestions, send us an email at pwned@nuharborsecurity.com.For general information, you can reach us at info@nuharborsecurity.com.If you like our content, please like, share, and subscribe!
