Knowing Your Data Demand

As with any cloud-based tool, an XDR system requires a thorough understanding of your logging
and telemetry data needs in order to gauge storage requirements.

#1. Single Vendor Reliance

Vendor-specific XDR solutions can lead to an over-reliance on that vendor’s ecosystem. This
reliance restricts an organization’s ability to integrate diverse security products, potentially impacting
its long-term strategic security planning. Additionally, the effectiveness of these XDR solutions is
often contingent on the vendor—because the true potential of XDR lies in the collaboration of
multiple solutions.

Therefore, the value of XDR depends on the comprehensiveness of other vendors’ technologies.
