Unit 42 Managed XSIAM

The Challenges of Modern SecOps

Today’s cybersecurity operations face unprecedented complexity, with 87% of intrusions spanning multiple attack surfaces as adversaries move across endpoint, cloud, identity, and network environments. Security teams contend with millions of novel attacks each day, while massive telemetry volumes and siloed tools create noise instead of clarity—making it difficult to correlate activity and respond with confidence.

As threats accelerate, SecOps teams struggle to keep pace. In the fastest attacks, adversaries can move from initial access to impact in under an hour, compressing the window for detection and response. Continuous monitoring, detection tuning, and data onboarding stretch teams thin, while many organizations lack the SOC engineering capacity to sustain effective detections and automations at scale. Many still rely on legacy SIEMs and outdated SOC architectures that cannot adapt at machine speed, resulting in visibility gaps, static rules, and response times that fall behind modern threats.

A Better Approach - Unit 42 Managed XSIAM

Managed XSIAM from Unit 42 transforms this operating model. It combines the industry’s leading SOC transformation platform, Cortex XSIAM, with Unit 42’s elite cybersecurity expertise and embedded SOC engineering. AI-driven analytics, proactive threat coverage, and engineered detections strengthen visibility and accuracy across every attack surface—including environments leveraging native and third-party EDR from other vendors—all within a unified console.

Organizations gain 24/7 monitoring, rapid investigation, and orchestrated remediation that reduce response times from hours to minutes, supported by streamlined deployment and continuous optimization to accelerate time to value. And because every environment is unique, you can select the service tier that aligns to your operating model today—from AI-driven SOC operations to full SOC engineering support as your maturity grows.

Proactive Defense: Ongoing AI-driven threat hunts and emerging-threat watchlists inform refinement of detections and pre-position containment to disrupt attacks before impact across all connected data sources.

Enhanced Threat Detection: Continuously tuned detections, custom correlation rules, and analytics—guided by Unit 42 experts and SOC engineers—surface high-fidelity threats across endpoint, cloud, identity, network, and third-party EDR telemetry mapped in XSIAM.

Faster Response: 24/7 monitoring, triage, and custom playbook engineering accelerate remediation and reduce MTTR, while expert-led advanced response and executive-ready reporting strengthen security hygiene and operational confidence.

Service Tiers to Meet Your Needs

Managed XSIAM Pro

Managed XSIAM Pro delivers 24/7 monitoring, proactive threat hunting, detection, and full-cycle response across your entire attack surface. Unit 42 manages alert triage and investigation with containment playbooks and coordinated remediation across integrated technologies.

Additionally, Pro deploys correlation rules and automation for emerging indicators, performs routine data health checks and detector tuning, and monitors customer-created correlation rules. Extended response is also provided across all connected third-party data sources within XSIAM, operating as an extension of your SOC. Pro includes a built-in Breach Response Guarantee with 250 hours of expert-led incident response, supporting full-cycle investigation, containment, and eradication.

Key Differentiators:

• Proactive threat hunting + impact reporting: Hunts for active and emerging threats using threat intelligence and in-environment signals, with clear impact analysis reporting to prioritize response and remediation.
• Extended response with full-cycle remediation: End-to-end investigation and eradication across all ingested data sources in XSIAM, including native and third-party EDR solutions, backed by a built-in breach response guarantee.
• Native to Cortex XSIAM: A single console where analytics, Unit 42 experts, and threat intelligence operate in one unified case flow from detection through resolution.
• Proactive rule deployment: Correlation rules deployed for emerging indicators to strengthen coverage and reduce exposure time.

Managed XSIAM Premium

For organizations requiring full-spectrum coverage, Managed XSIAM Premium includes everything in Pro, plus a designated threat hunter and dedicated SOC engineering. This includes data engineering for programmatic data-source onboarding and optimization, detection engineering with custom correlation rules, and managed automation through bespoke playbooks.

These experts maintain and optimize integrations, refine detectors, and continuously map coverage to emerging indicators—reducing MTTR, expanding detection breadth, and delivering sustained operational efficiency aligned to governance and security roadmaps.

Key Differentiators:

• Includes all key differentiators of Managed XSIAM Pro, plus:
  • Designated threat hunter: Searches for emerging threats guided by intelligence on Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures relevant to your organization.
  • Designated SOC engineer: Integration optimization, custom correlation rules, new data-source mapping, and custom automation.

Outcomes That Compound

With Unit 42 Managed XSIAM, organizations achieve earlier detection and faster containment that reduce MTTR and limit escalation through AI-driven automation and expert triage. Platform-led operations combined with managed expertise help control costs without adding headcount, while clear incident narratives, trends, and reporting deliver board-ready visibility. Your SOC remains future-ready—continuously optimized and AI-driven to adapt alongside your organization and the evolving threat landscape. Bottom line: you see more, respond faster, hunt proactively, evolve detections continuously, and remediate incidents with confidence and precision.
