XDR brings the added advantage of reducing downtime and lowering the risk of budget-busting ransomware attacks. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Norman St. Laurent, Cisco\u2019s federal product marketing manager, said that SLED entities need a \u201ctool that can consolidate and pivot between different security products on a network, which is important.\u201d He explains the benefit of having a solution that can integrate with an extensive range of third-party security products to share telemetry and streamline interoperability, delivering consistent outcomes regardless of vendor or technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As SLED entities expand their reliance on more devices, applications, and tools, XDR provides an increasingly compelling solution to improve their security posture by consolidating tools, detecting, mitigating, and remediating threats faster, increasing visibility into gaps or risk areas, and improving response readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read more about <a
