What happened
Stellar Cyber was named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner 2025 Hype Cycle for Midsize Enterprises in the Extended Detection and Response category.
Who is affected
Midsize organizations and their security teams are the key groups impacted, along with vendors and service providers that support mid-market security operations.
Why CISOs should care
This recognition signals that XDR is gaining traction in the mid-market. It also shows that unified detection and response is becoming an expected baseline for organizations that need stronger visibility without adding tool overload. CISOs should view this as a prompt to review how well their current tools work together and whether XDR can close visibility or response gaps.
3 practical actions
-
Assess your current detection and response setup and look for visibility gaps that an XDR platform can help address.
-
Update vendor evaluation criteria to include XDR capabilities that support midsize environments.
-
Run a pilot or benchmark XDR tools to measure improvements in alert reduction and response times.
