In its Extended Detection and Response Platforms Landscape – Q1 2026, Forrester analyzes how XDR platforms are reshaping detection, investigation, and response and names HarfangLab among leading vendors in this challenging market.
According to Forrester, Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is the natural evolution of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR):
a platform that unifies detections across endpoints and different security layers such as email, identity, and cloud.
The goal? Higher quality detection, better analyst experience, faster investigation, and more effective response, at a time when security teams are stretched thin.
In this report, Forrester evaluates the XDR market and highlights HarfangLab among the top vendors shaping its future.
XDR is no longer an emerging category. Yet security teams still struggle to evaluate vendors and make confident decisions. Forrester points out how vendor differentiation increasingly depends on strategic choices.
