Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a cybersecurity approach that unifies multiple security applications into a single platform. In cloud computing, XDR can provide a more comprehensive view of threats across various cloud services and applications.

• XDR can improve threat detection and response by providing a unified view of threats across various platforms and applications.
• It can also automate threat response, reducing the time and effort required to respond to security incidents.

XDR works by collecting and correlating data from multiple security applications, including endpoint protection, network security, and cloud security. It then uses this data to detect threats and automate responses.

• XDR platforms can use machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect threats and automate responses.
• They can also provide a centralized dashboard for managing security incidents, improving visibility and control.

A company, SecureCorp, uses an XDR platform to manage their cloud security. The XDR platform collects data from SecureCorp's various cloud services and applications, detects threats, and automates responses, improving SecureCorp's overall security posture.
