Highlights
00:14 — After visiting the vendor floor, Rob and Chris noticed that there was a lot of “XDR stuff everywhere.” The mentions of XDR resonated with Rob, a CISO, as representing a shift towards integrated data across different segments.
00:55 — Chris says it’s a testament to the security challenges posed by the modern, distributed workforce, which is BYOD (bring your own devices). Organizations are trying to make sense of the posture of the devices that are connecting.
01:19 — Rob suggests that CISOs struggling with data problems should see the XDR space as a way to consolidate data to gain valuable insights.
