Businesses increasingly are adopting this holistic protection against cyberattacks, so partners should beef up their knowledge on this approach.

A relatively nascent term in cybersecurity, XDR (extended detection and response) is all the rage. Businesses increasingly are adopting this holistic protection against cyberattacks, so channel partners should beef up their knowledge on this approach.

That’s why we called on Eric Parizo to provide some expertise. Parizo, as managing principal analyst, focuses on cybersecurity for Omdia. (Omdia and Channel Futures share a parent company, Informa.)

In this interview for Channel Futures TV, Parizo explains the ins and outs of XDR, and tells us what could make the technology even more appealing to partners’ customers in the near future. He also outlines the forecast for XDR and even offers talking points to take to clients.

This is part of a new video series in conjunction with our Channel Futures (CF20) lists each month. We highlight 20 companies that top analysts recognize as best in the business in a specific technology. In February, we featured XDR.

Watch our video with Parizo and Channel Futures editorial director Craig Galbraith above; then, review the 20 companies ID’d as top XDR providers and why they made the list.
