Historically, traditional perimeter-based defenses , such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS), were the foundation of most cybersecurity strategies. Unlike tools that look at a single dimension (the endpoint), XDR architectures extend across multiple security dimensions.

Even if there’s a firewall enabled, it won’t block outgoing TCP connections. Such hackers don’t bother with social engineering or complex scenarios that only give a low success rate. REST is a standardized client-server architecture for APIs where resources can be fetched at specific URLs. They already have backdoors.

Limited Control & Visibility Insufficient visibility into the cloud architecture causes delays in threat responses, increasing the risk of data breaches. Use web application firewall (WAF): WAF screens requests based on IP addresses or HTTP headers, identifies code injection attempts, and defines response quotas.
