ɆCDR: How Cloud Has Changed the Game

Cloud computing offers significant advantages in speed, scalability, and cost, but it also presents new challenges for cybersecurity, as threat actors have adapted to exploit cloud environments with rapid and sophisticated attacks. Traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) tools are inadequate in the cloud context, leading to inefficient investigations and increased risk due to incomplete and siloed data. These traditional tools lack the necessary cloud context and are hampered by the fragmented nature of cloud-native business lines, which complicates collaboration and response efforts. To effectively combat cloud threats, organizations need a comprehensive Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) solution that provides real-time threat detection across the entire cloud estate, correlates posture and runtime insights, and facilitates collaboration by offering a single source of truth. Implementing such a solution can enhance security team efficiency, reduce risk, and optimize costs, enabling organizations to meet industry benchmarks and safeguard their cloud environments effectively.
