XDR Market Overview
Today’s XDR products have a long history, evolving out of network security and network traffic analysis (NTA) and combining the information contained within these tools with AI capabilities. The historical definition of network security is to use a perimeter firewall and Intrusion Prevention Systems to screen traffic coming into the network, but as IT and security technology have evolved, the definition is much broader now due to modern attacks leveraging more complex approaches.
Sophisticated cyberattackers constantly invent and reinvent more effective ways to mount their assaults. Their evasive behaviors and the invisible footprints they leave behind change with dizzying frequency. Traditional legacy security designed to keep out attackers are blind to these ever-changing threat behaviors, giving cybercriminals free rein to spy, spread and steal.
There are a lot of products that fall under the umbrella of network security, and managing those holistically to detect and respond to risk and threats on the network is challenging. That’s where XDR comes in. XDR as a technology category that seeks to first consolidate NTA, IDS, UEBA TIP and AI into a single superset platform for both detection and response,
and secondly go way beyond NTA ever did, acting as the brains behind all the other network security products through Machine Learning and auto-correlation.
What are the important points related to the be.Safe XDR solution
360 degree data collection
be.Safe XDR does not focus on any certain aspect of the network necessarily, but instead extracts metadata from all available sources (events, netflow, traffic files, …). This allows the Artificial Intelligence – AI to have a complete view.
Data normalization
All gathered data needs to be normalized to a standard so that the Artificial Intelligence – AI models can properly process it. Data can be enriched in real time with other sources such as threat intelligence, geolocation, …
High accuracy on alert systems
Artificial Intelligence – AI is trained to only react when it identifies threats with high probability, thanks to behavioral research. This way, the system does not overload IT personnel with constant false alerts, but provides reliable warning systems that the security team can trust.
Automated response
Although an AI can be programmed as just an alarm system, its capacities extend much further. Facing a possible attack, AI systems can reconfigure the network and user permissions to isolate and eliminate attacks in real time.
Understanding – Extended Detection and Response (be.Safe XDR)
Extended Detection and Response (XDR) consists on a series of cybersecurity solutions and techniques that are in constant monitoring of an organization´s network by collecting all network traffic for unprecedented visibility and using behavioral analytics, machine learning, AI, … to detect cyber threats & anomalous behavior and respond to these threats via a diverse set of countermeassures, both in a preventive or reactive manner, while also integrating with other cybersecurity tools/solutions.
Highly performant XDR solutions use advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence tools to model adversary tactics, techniques and procedures to detect attackers behaveoural patterns with high precision. They surface security-relevant context, extract high-fidelity data, correlate events across time, users, and applications to drastically increase monitorization, reaction and securization capabilities in organizations.
They also stream security detections and threat correlations to more traditional security systems (Firewall, SIEM, …) and solutions for comprehensive security assessments.
Today, increasingly sophisticated behavioral analytics; machine learning; and artificial intelligence (AI) of cloud, virtual, and on-premise networks form the backbone of XDR solutions. More and more accurately, AI models can determine the confidence and risk level of a threat and automate appropriate responses within the network infrastructure and user permission systems.
Solution & Teldat be.Safe XDR Products
The background
Extended Detection and Response (XDR) core is based on different types of AI, but it´s not limited to that. One must have the capacity to, once a potencial thread has been detected, be capable of act upon the network to isolate or eliminate such thread.
It is at this stage that Teldat´s solution portfolio comes into place. Through our fully integrated AI systems, not only do we have the capacity to isolate the compromised user´s access inside the network, but our groud-breaking detection and response systems are capable of modifying the network architecture itself, sending updated configurations to routers, to eliminate threat´s communication and expansion mechanisms altogether.
A solution ecosystem for a complete response
It is not only AI models that intervene in XDR installation. These models can integrate and trigger actions in every layer of our application portfolio, providing automatic or programmatic reactions in every front. For every problem, we bring a solution.
-
- be.Safe XDR offers complete data collection and normalization through the system, as well as a big-data environment in which to run and re-train our AI algorithms. This allows for our models to not take a generalist approach, but to offer personalized training and execution for each scenario, greatly increasing our accuracy and suitability for every client.
- Through our state of the art SDWAN, we can increase or response to modify network topology. Even in vulnerable system scenarios with outdated signature-based security systems, by isolating the compromised nodes, no matter they are users or computers, we can prevent system propagation in case of an attack.
- By integrating with Active Directory systems, we can also act in the user-permissions in case of an attack, providing us the capability of much more granular response inside our client´s organizations if needed be.
- be.Safe XDR can be a great value for an organization´s security systems, but it cannot be acting by itself. It is due to this that we provide integration with be.Safe, or next generation firewall, to provide security administrators with deterministic rule recommendations in case of a suspected attack.
Hardware and software combined response
Most XDR vendors have different variations of software for this technology. But it requires the knowledge and experience of a hardware and network vendor the likes of Teldat to be able to act both at the software and the hardware level.
Being able to deploy our solution ecosystem both cloud and on-premise, we offer the high adaptability to our client´s needs, as well as the capacity for our users to either use Teldat´s standard AI or to retrain the networking and deep-learning models for a more personalized and higher accuracy detection and alert capabilities.
Teldat´s be.Safe XDR software is on a trajectory to continue to improve threat detection and prevention, as well as response effectiveness and overall solution efficiency. As XDR embraces more data sources portfolio and deeper integration within networking management tools, this technology´s capacities will only increase in the coming future .
be.Safe XDR Use Cases

Use of threat detection platforms using AI techniques and monitoring to generate automatic responses
Data leakage
Detection of access attempts to confidential data or data loss from malicious user activities
Pharmaceuticals industry
Pharmaceutical industry globalization increases dependence on data infrastructure
Detection of suspicious activity and traffic
Use of threat detection platforms using AI techniques and monitoring to generate automatic responses
Challenge
Attackers can cause security breaches by infecting devices to spread malware over the network or act as bots to massively attack the organization itself or other companies. They can also steal credentials or gain unauthorized access to the network to try to get as much information as possible from the inside – these kinds of attack are known as lateral movement attacks.
Solution
Traffic visualization and log analysis platforms make it possible to monitor everything that is going on in the network without generating a greater load on equipment or causing communication delays. By having information on how the network typically behaves, you can generate traffic patterns that allow anomalous behavior to be detected, such as multiple IPs accessing the same destination for a denial-of-service attack or attempts to access networks that are not allowed for a specific device.
In this way, automatic responses can be generated, disabling those devices that are suspected of having been infected or revoking access or credentials if they are detected attempting to access sensitive information when they shouldn’t, thus preventing them from achieving their goal.
Why Teldat?
Teldat’s be.SDWAN and be.Safe XDR solutions analyze all network behavior, apply Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to detect suspicious behavior, and apply the necessary corrective measures automatically to control the network.
Data leakage
Detection of access attempts to confidential data or data loss from malicious user activities.
Challenge
Sensitive corporate information is a highly coveted target for hackers, and there are a variety of ways for them to obtain it: for example, they can try to infect devices to send this information to a server outside the network and thus make it available without the organization discovering that there has been a leak. It can also happen that an internal employee with access to such information decides to send it to a public storage platform, which is not considered suspicious, in order to use it when leaving the company or sell it for a profit.
Solution
This type of behavior can be detected through DLP (Data Loss Prevention) rules. Network traffic to the outside can be analyzed using security tools that decrypt outbound traffic or traffic to certain specific platforms where sensitive data can be stored and predefined patterns detected (e.g., specific text strings, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, etc.). When detecting this type of traffic, you can choose to simply launch an alert so the malicious user is unaware that he has been detected, allowing you to obtain evidence against him, or you can also automatically block all the transmissions that are detected as unauthorized. You can even completely disable the device from accessing the network.
Why Teldat?
Teldat’s be.Safe solutions analyze all traffic leaving the organization to detect any access to webpages or servers classified as malicious, analyze patterns, and can block these connections to prevent data leakage.
Manufacturing – Pharmaceuticals industry
Pharmaceutical industry globalization increases dependence on data infrastructure
Challenge
The pharmaceutical industry is globalizing; two significant drivers are global clinical trials to gain a broader and more diverse participant base, and expansion into less-saturated developing markets. However, this creates the challenge of connecting a global network of employees, researchers, clinicians, customers, suppliers, distributors, and manufacturing sites to foster collaboration. Globalization necessarily means a heavier reliance on Internet data transmission, creating new risks from poor web performance, and inadequate end-user experience, and often, the resulting regulatory slow-downs.
Mitigating these risks requires monitoring of new implementations, checking migrations, and obtaining full visibility into the network status. NTA allows users to achieve these goals.
