S2E18: John Guckian

In this episode of Resilient Cyber, Chris Hughes and Dr. Nikki Robinson chat with John Guckian from IBM about the evolving landscape of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and the future of endpoint protection. John shares his expertise on how organizations can leverage these technologies to enhance security and resilience. 🔒

🔑 Key Highlights:

• The evolution of EDR from traditional antivirus solutions and its behavioral analysis capabilities

• Differences between EDR, XDR, and MDR, and how they contribute to comprehensive security strategies

• Why behavioral analytics are critical in detecting and responding to zero-day threats

• The role of EDR in Zero Trust architectures and modern cybersecurity frameworks

• Challenges and best practices for integrating EDR into existing security environments

• How remote work and BYOD have expanded the need for robust endpoint protection

• The importance of security monitoring, data loss prevention (DLP), and incident response in securing modern enterprises

John also provides actionable insights on how organizations can mature their cybersecurity programs and ensure that endpoint protection evolves alongside the growing threat landscape.
