WithSecure™ Elements Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
Endpoint, identity, email, collaboration, and cloud security
Unified protection, detection, and response
No enterprise EDR for endpoints. No sandboxing for email attachments. No identity threat detection beyond basic sign-in anomalies. These are the gaps that turn a phishing email into a breach — the attacker lands in your inbox, escalates through Entra ID, and moves through your cloud infrastructure before most tools notice anything unusual. WithSecure™ Elements XDR closes each of these gaps in one platform, detecting attempted and ongoing attacks — and helping you stop attackers in their tracks.
One platform. One agent. End‑to‑end coverage.
Broad Context Detection™ turns a multi-vector attack into one clear incident to investigate
Seven AV-TEST Best Protection wins — confirmed by MITRE ATT&CK top-tier results
Rollback automatically reverses file and registry changes made by ransomware
WithSecure is built under European data protection law
Automated response options, reduced workload
WithSecure™ Elements XDR protects the modern workspace
Elements XDR is a unified solution built to protect modern IT estates — combining prevention, detection, and response across endpoints, identities, email, and cloud from a single platform. Explore what it covers and how it works together
Why does unified coverage matter?
Most attacks don’t stay in one place — they start with a phishing email, move through a compromised identity, and land on your endpoints. Elements XDR correlates signals across all of these layers into Broad Context Detections™ that show the full attack chain in one view, with guided response actions to stop it. One platform, one agent, one console — no stitching together separate tools
How does XDR keep incident volumes low?
Elements XDR uses automated advanced preventative controls to block ransomware, malicious files, and URLs before they execute — keeping the volume of incidents your team needs to handle to a minimum. Scheduled response actions contain threats outside business hours automatically. The result is a security posture that stays active around the clock without requiring round-the-clock staffing.
How does XDR help your team act faster?
Broad Context Detections™ aggregate all the data from a potential incident — affected hosts, attack timeline, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and recommended next actions — into a single investigation view. Luminen™ AI assistant explains detections in plain language and recommends response actions, so your team can move from alert to action in minutes rather than hours, regardless of their security experience level.
How does Elements XDR connect to Elements XM?
Elements XDR shares the same platform, agent, and Luminen™ AI layer as Elements XM (Exposure Management). XM’s exposure scores feed directly into XDR’s Outbreak Control — automatically tightening endpoint security profiles when new risks emerge — while XDR’s detection telemetry informs XM’s attack path simulation. Proactive prevention and reactive detection, working together without an integration project.
Four security modules.
One platform.

Common questions about Elements XDR, answered directly.
From what XDR actually means for a mid-sized organisation, to how it compares to what you’re already running — clear answers without security jargon.
Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a unified security solution that detects, investigates, and responds to threats across multiple layers of your IT environment — endpoints, identities, email, and cloud infrastructure — from a single platform. Unlike traditional endpoint security tools that operate in isolation, XDR correlates signals across all of these layers into one pane-of-glass, giving your team the full attack chain and the response actions needed to stop it.
Elements XDR covers four layers of your IT environment: endpoint security (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, ChromeOS and Android via Elements EPP and EDR), identity threat detection and response (Microsoft Entra ID via Elements Identity Security), email and collaboration security (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams via Elements Collaboration Protection), and Azure cloud infrastructure (via Elements XDR Cloud Security). All layers are managed from the same Elements Security Center console with a single lightweight agent on endpoints.
A Broad Context Detection™ (BCD) is WithSecure’s approach to threat detection that aggregates all available data about a potential incident — affected devices, attack timeline, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, identity signals, and recommended response actions — into a single investigation view. Instead of generating separate alerts for each event in an attack chain, BCDs group related activity together so your team sees the complete picture and can act immediately, without manually correlating data across multiple tools.
Elements XDR focuses on attacks in progress, while Elements XM reduces the risk of an attack starting in the first place. Elements XDR is more reactive — it detects, investigates, and responds to threats that are actively occurring across your endpoints, identities, email, and cloud. Elements XM (Exposure Management) is proactive — it continuously identifies and prioritises vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across your attack surface before an attack happens. The two are architecturally integrated: XM’s exposure scores feed into XDR’s Outbreak Control to automatically tighten endpoint security profiles when new risks emerge, while XDR’s detection telemetry informs XM’s attack path simulation. They share the same platform, agent, and Luminen™ AI layer.
