Traditional security tools work in silos — EDR protects endpoints, firewall monitors network, and email security scans messages separately. XDR breaks down these silos by correlating data across all layers, giving Indian security teams a unified view of attacks that span multiple vectors.
XDR vs EDR vs SIEM — what's the difference?: EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) protects only endpoints (laptops, servers). SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) collects logs from all sources but requires significant human analysis. XDR sits between the two — automated correlation across all layers with faster, contextual response than SIEM and broader coverage than EDR.
XDR solutions available in India: Trend Micro Vision One, Sophos XDR, Microsoft Defender XDR (part of M365 Business Premium), and Palo Alto Cortex XDR are the leading XDR platforms used by Indian enterprises. All are available through authorised Indian partners with INR billing.
Is XDR suitable for Indian SMBs?: Managed XDR (MXDR or MDR with XDR capabilities) is more practical for Indian SMBs — the XDR platform is managed by a security operations team on your behalf. Sophos MDR and Trend Micro MDR are available through Indian partners at ₹800–1,500/endpoint/year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does XDR replace a SIEM for Indian companies?
For most Indian SMBs and mid-market companies, XDR replaces the need for a full SIEM. Large Indian enterprises (500+ employees) often run both — SIEM for compliance log retention and XDR for active threat detection and response.
What is the price of XDR for Indian businesses?
XDR pricing varies: Trend Micro Vision One starts around ₹1,200/endpoint/year, Sophos XDR starts from ₹900/endpoint/year. Microsoft Defender XDR is included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium (₹1,540/user/month) — making it the most cost-effective XDR for M365 shops.
