Detection That Sees
The Whole Attack.
nPro XDR watches behaviour across endpoints, servers and cloud workloads, maps every finding to MITRE ATT&CK, and assembles them into one chain instead of a queue of alerts.
One intrusion, several signals, one chain
Endpoint tooling would report the steps below as unrelated events on different machines. Each node is a detection nPro produces on its own; the line between them is what XDR adds.
An illustrative sequence, not a customer incident.
Initial access. Repeated authentication failures followed by a success, correlated across sources rather than counted on one host.
Execution. Behaviour, not signature: a command interpreter launched by an application that has no reason to launch one.
Persistence. Caught by File Integrity Monitoring, which is watching those paths continuously rather than scanning on a schedule.
The step that separates XDR from EDR. Two machines, one campaign, recognised as such because both report to the same correlation engine.
A SOAR playbook isolates the host and revokes the session. The chain is already assembled, so the responder reads context rather than reconstructing it.
What has to be true for that chain to exist
Continuous file integrity monitoring
Persistence is invisible to anything that scans on a schedule. FIM watches sensitive paths in real time, which is why step three appears at all.
Technique-level ATT&CK mapping
Mapping to tactics is too coarse to link events. Technique-level references are what let the engine recognise that two detections belong to one sequence.
One backend, not an integration
XDR and SIEM write to the same ClickHouse store. Correlation is a query, not a data pipeline between two vendors with two retention policies.
Posture as well as behaviour
Security Configuration Assessment and continuous vulnerability detection close the gaps that make step one possible in the first place.
