Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- Guardsquare XTD Extended Threat Defense
Best for: Teams wanting app shielding with threat monitoring
It earns a place because it pairs app hardening with detection on consumer devices you do not manage. Audit trails and logging support HIPAA, PCI DSS and GDPR work, which suits regulated apps. Ask how its alerts reach your SOC, because real-time alerts need a response plan.
