Cisco XDR changes the way security teams look at detection and response. Our cloud-based solution is designed to simplify security operations and empower security teams to detect, prioritize, and respond to the most sophisticated threats. Integrating with the broader Cisco security portfolio and select third-party offerings, Cisco XDR is one of the most comprehensive and flexible solutions on the market today.

Designed by security practitioners for security practitioners, Cisco XDR helps analysts aggregate and correlate data from multiple sources into a unified view to streamline investigations, reduce false positives, prioritize alerts, and achieve the shortest path from detection to response.

Built-in automation, orchestration, and guided remediation recommendations help analysts automate repetitive tasks and mitigate threats more effectively, freeing up time and resources to focus on other critical security tasks.

The data-driven Cisco XDR approach allows SOC teams to define the most impactful events and focus remediation strategies there first, strengthening the organization’s overall security posture and increasing resilience.

Deliver comprehensive threat detection and response actions with data-backed insights

Detect complex threats sooner

      Cisco XDR offers the broadest range of built-in integrations across endpoint, email, network, cloud, firewall and more, as well as select third-party integrations for the most flexible, scalable and effective XDR strategy.

      Leverage telemetry from on-prem networks and public and private clouds to detect threats on managed and unmanaged devices and gain critical context when correlating events, including where attacks start and how they spread through the network.

      Talos threat intelligence strengthens detection capabilities, so analysts gain an unrivaled collection of actionable information to expose known and emerging threats with deeper context and awareness of real-world threat behavior.

Prioritize threats by impact and act on what matters most, faster

      Risk-based prioritization helps SOC analysts focus on the alerts that pose the greatest threat, allowing them to take rapid and effective action. This unique approach provides a unified view of alerts, prioritized by real-world severity.

      Reduce the Mean Time To Respond (MTTR) with guided responses for identification, containment, eradication and recovery. That, combined with embedded response actions enable consistent, effective decision-making.

      Simplify and compress investigation times with unified context and progressive disclosure techniques. Cisco XDR shows analysts the information they need without inundating them with extraneous data leading to analysis paralysis. If needed, more information to enrich investigations is always just a click away

Accelerate response times

      Rapidly remediate threats with built-in response actions and orchestration. With Cisco XDR, SOC teams can leverage a range of pre-built and customizable orchestration workbooks to help shut down threats and mitigate risk with just a few clicks.

      Boost limited resources for maximum value by automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks and providing SOC teams with out-of-the-box best practices. When automation is not suitable, Cisco XDR provides guided response suggestions and recommendations to help SOC analysts take effective response actions.

      Quickly push response actions across a broad range of security tools through deep integrations with varying security control points, both built-in Cisco solutions and third-party. Take a proactive role in threat hunting by surveying across disparate alert logs as you learn of new tactics, techniques and indicators of compromise.
