AGENDA

Four Things We'll Cover

What insights from the GigaOm Radar mean for the XDR market landscape, and how to apply the findings to decisions you're making right now.

01
Agentic AI: Why It's Now the Defining Capability in XDR

GigaOm's perspective on why agentic AI has become the standard by which XDR platforms are evaluated and what a perfect score in that category requires of a platform.

02
The Shift Away from Point Tool Excellence

Why the market is moving toward platform comprehensiveness, what that shift means for how security teams evaluate and build their stack, and how to think about what you'll need going forward.

03
What "Outperformer" Means for Long-Term Platform Investment

What trajectory recognition signals for customers and partners making long-term decisions and why where a vendor is heading matters as much as where they rank today.

04
Live Q&A

Get answers from the experts on the future of XDR, and what to look for when evaluating security vendors in 2026.
