X

Question 1

XDR

Answer 1

Extended Detection and Response

A system that collects and automatically correlates data across multiple security layers – email, endpoint, server, cloud workload, and network. This allows for faster detection of threats and improved investigation and response times through security analysis.

Unlike EDR, which helps team monitor individual endpoint devices, XDR systems give your security team a holistic view of your entire security stack to help identify cyberthreats that target multiple security domains and environments.

Question 2

XML

Answer 2

Extensible Markup Language

A software- and hardware-independent tool for storing and transporting data.

It is a markup language that provides rules to define any data. Unlike other programming languages, XML cannot perform computing operations by itself. Instead, any programming language or software can be implemented for structured data management.

Question 3

XOR

Answer 3

Exclusive Or

A Boolean logic operation that is widely used in cryptography as well as in generating parity bits for error checking and fault tolerance. XOR compares two input bits and generates one output bit.

The logic is simple. If the bits are the same, the result is 0. If the bits are different, the result is 1.

This means that any XOR operation can be reverse-engineered to get the original digits.

Question 4

XSRF

Answer 4

Cross-Site Request Forgery

An attack vector that tricks a web browser into executing an unwanted action in an application to which a user is logged in.

Question 5

XSS

Answer 5

Cross-Site Scripting

An exploit where the attacker attaches code onto a legitimate website that will execute when the victim loads the website.

Question 6

Difference between EDR and XDR

Answer 6

EDR helps team monitor individual endpoint devices.

XDR systems give your security team a holistic view of your entire security stack to help identify cyberthreats that target multiple security domains and environments.
