The XDR Alliance welcomed Banyax, Deloitte, and ReliaQuest as the latest global cybersecurity innovators to join the alliance and express their commitment to collaboration and an open, inclusive and collaborative extended detection and response (XDR) framework. In addition to founding member Expel, these members expand the MSSP/MDR category of the alliance and will its API integration initiative.
“We are pleased to have these providers join and augment the representation in the MSSP/MDR space and offer their extraordinary API integration expertise across all alliance member technologies and the industry at large,” said Gorka Sadowski, founder of the XDR Alliance and Chief Strategy Officer at Exabeam. “These new members represent joint customers all over the world and have vast expertise in helping end customers benefit from tightly integrated best-of-breed technology stacks in the spirit of being open, inclusive and collaborative. They built and operate some of the world’s largest security operations centers (SOCs).”
The announcement followed the XDR Alliance release of a Common Information Model (CIM) that was created through collaboration with several XDR Alliance members over the last year. Now that the CIM is released as open source via an Apache 2.0 license, the alliance will focus on building a set of bi-directional APIs to ensure interoperability between all alliance member products and other relevant products across cybersecurity and XDR Alliance member categories.
The charter of the XDR Alliance is to define and promote an open XDR approach that best works for end users; to help SecOps teams better integrate new and evolving applications and technologies; to make it easier to deliver on the value-add use cases that their organizations require; to ensure interoperability across the XDR security vendor solutions set, and to collaborate on XDR market education and awareness.
XDR Alliance members are representative of complementary technologies in security analytics, security information and event management (SIEM), endpoint, email, identity, cloud, network, and OT/IoT security and threat intelligence, collaborating to provide open XDR and threat detection, investigation and response (TDIR). Alliance subcategories also include managed security service providers (MSSPs), managed detection and response services (MDRs) and systems integrators (SIs).
