HeptaSec XDR
HeptaSec XDR is Heptadev's extended detection and response (XDR) platform, being built to help organisations in Africa see across their digital environments, detect threats, investigate incidents and respond to cyber risks.
What is XDR?
Extended detection and response (XDR) brings security data from endpoints, networks, cloud services and user identities into one place. Related signals are detected, correlated and investigated together, instead of in separate tools that each see only part of an attack.
How does HeptaSec work?
HeptaSec follows the security operations lifecycle, from collecting telemetry to reviewing posture over time.
Collect
Bring security telemetry from endpoints, networks, cloud and identity into one place.
Detect
Surface suspicious activity and known threats as events arrive.
Correlate
Connect related signals across sources into a single, readable incident.
Investigate
Give analysts the context to understand what happened, where and why.
Respond
Contain the threat and guide the steps needed to recover.
Automate
Turn repeatable response steps into playbooks that run consistently.
Analyze
Review trends and exposure over time to keep improving your security posture.

How is XDR different from EDR or a SIEM?
EDR (endpoint detection and response) focuses on devices such as laptops and servers. A SIEM collects and stores logs for analysis. XDR combines telemetry from several layers, such as endpoints, network, cloud and identity, and correlates it into incidents that can be investigated and responded to in one place.
Who is HeptaSec designed for?
Financial institutions, enterprises, government and public institutions, technology companies and growing businesses operating in Africa.
