EDR, XDR, or MDR — What’s the Real Difference and Why Does It Matter?

In the recent episode of The Security Strategist podcast, host Chris Steffen, sat down with Jim Waggoner, VP of Product Strategy at N-able, and Joe Ferla, one of N-able’s Head Nerds.

They addressed one of cybersecurity’s biggest misconceptions – while organizations might be getting better at spotting threats, most still struggle to respond to them in real time.

“We live in a time where the threat landscape is changing instantly,” Steffen said. With threat actors speeding up their tactics, Waggoner and Ferla insist that the only way forward is constant reassessment, while acknowledging that organizations often cannot handle everything alone.
