Welcome to the July edition of the ExtraHop TL;DR! This is your place to get the highlights on what we're talking about this month.
Empower XDR with ExtraHop + CrowdStrike
Cyberattackers are growing more sophisticated at evading security measures. Tightly integrated extended detection and response (XDR) with network detection and response (NDR) helps to enrich endpoint data with relevant network intelligence, alongside additional telemetry across multiple domains, to empower security teams to defend against common and advanced threats.
Eradicate Active Software Supply Chain Threats
Cyber attackers get into your environment undetected by abusing privileged relationships. Software update paths, service providers, and open source components are all part of the enterprise attack surface. With RevealX, your team can detect and stop supply chain attacks inside your environments and eliminate risk of future attacks across your edge, core, and cloud assets.

Threat of the Month: HTTP Request Smuggling
Websites often rely on load balancers, content delivery networks (CDNs), or reverse proxies to manage incoming HTTP requests over a single connection. HTTP request smuggling is a web application attack that takes advantage of inconsistencies in how front-end servers (proxies) and back-end servers process requests from more than one sender.
