"In the future we will replace anti-virus with Endpoint Detection and Response, and we will call it EDR."
“Why will we do that, sir?”
“It will make us sound like we are doing two things, and we can charge more.”
“But Sir, weren’t we detecting and responding before?”
“Yes, but this will be better.”
“How will it be better sir?”
“It will use machine learning to do most of the tasks.”
“But sir, what will we do when it hallucinates?”
“We will hire people to watch over it, and we will call that Managed Detection and Response/MDR”
“But sir, this is a position that didn’t exist before, isn’t AI supposed to eliminate jobs?”
“It will be fine, because finance will classify these people as software. And to distract the board further we will also have XDR.”
“What does XDR stand for Sir?”
“Nobody knows.”
“But we will shorten all of it to DR, when we discuss it?”
“Don’t be ridiculous, DR will stand for ‘Disaster Recovery’.”
