XDR AND ANTIVIRUS
                     What are Difference between 
Antivirus and XDR
XDR is an integrated security and incident 
response platform that can automatically collect 
and correlate data from endpoints and many 
other parts of the IT environment. It is a 
platform for integrating security data from 
security information and event management 
(SIEM), EDR, network analytics, and identity and 
access management (IAM) tools. It provides an 
overview of the cybersecurity of the entire 
corporate environment in one unified interface.
Today, all these technologies are eclipsed by a 
new paradigm called XDR or extended detection 
and response. How is XDR different from 
Antivirus? Will it replace or complement them?

What are Antivirus and XDR
Antivirus
The goal of antivirus is to prevent attacks on 
endpoints from threats such as malware, zero-day 
vulnerabilities, and fileless attacks. Antivirus detects 
attacks using several methods:
using databases of known signatures to match 
malware and other file-based threats;
blocking or allowing applications, URLs, ports, and 
addresses using blacklists or whitelists;
providing a sandbox to test suspected threats, such 
as executables;
using behavioural analysts and machine learning to 
report anomalous or suspicious activity on the 
endpoint.
Antivirus is deployed on endpoints but typically has 
a cloud-based solution that can collect the data, 
analyze it, and provide convenient access to security 
analysts.
What are the differences between 
Antivirus vs XDR?
• Endpoint security is rapidly evolving. 
Organizations have transitioned from 
simple antivirus software to full endpoint 
protection platforms ( antivirus) that 
provide well-rounded, preventive security 
capabilities for endpoints to endpoint 
detection and response (EDR) solutions 
that complement EPP by adding the ability 
to actively respond to endpoint security 
breaches.
• Today, all these technologies are eclipsed 
by a new paradigm called XDR or extended 
detection and response. How is XDR 
different from Antivirus? Will it replace or 
complement them? Learn more in this

ABOUT US -
Advanced attackers carry out multilevel attacks, moving 
between environments and hiding between layers in the IT 
environment. There is a need for global visibility to identify 
these threats and react to them effectively.
XDR solutions are a compelling alternative to antivirus. They 
provide improved threat intelligence, and AI/ML analysis applied 
to combined data from across the IT environment. They allow 
organizations to derive more value from existing investments in 
EDR, SIEM and security orchestration and automation (SOAR).
