Modern SOCs face overwhelming alerts, tools, and complexity, with SIEM and SOAR often working in silos. SIEMs focus on log collection and compliance, while SOAR automates response workflows, but both lack real-time context and unified visibility.

Rather than replacing SIEM or SOAR, XDR complements them, creating a connected ecosystem that transforms alerts into actionable insights for faster, more effective security operations.
