In its report, The Extended Detection and Response Platforms Landscape, Q1 2026, Forrester provides an overview of 26 XDR vendors, including HarfangLab, that vary by size, type of offering, geography, and use case differentiation.
In the report, Forrester defines Extended Detection and Response (XDR) as the evolution of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR),which unifies security-relevant detections from endpoints and other detection surfaces,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.
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.
