Blind spots increase the risk of attacks
Visibility gaps Organizations often overlook internal network traffic and unmanaged devices
Inaccurate, incomplete alerts On-premises security with static rules can’t continually evolve, leading to false positives
Siloed security Teams spend time managing endless appliances and integrating data instead of fighting attacks
It’s time for smart, agile detection and response
To thwart adversaries, you must outpace them and learn from their exploits. Cloud-based analytics and machine learning are the weapons that give you an edge. With Cortex XDR™, you get the visibility and scale you need to repel attacks. You can automatically identify threats with machine learning and contain them quickly with actionable alerts and flexible response options. Keep your organization free of adversaries and safeguard your users – and your data – with Cortex XDR.
