Description

Cortex XDR
  • Protect Your Entire Organization from Breaches with the Industry’s First Extended Detection and Response Platform
  • Today’s siloed security solutions can’t keep up with evolving threats, burdening security teams with too many alerts, complex investigations, and missed attacks. Even when teams deploy dozens of tools, they still lack the enterprise wide visibility and deep analytics they need to stop threats before damage is done. Faced with a shortage of security talent, teams need a radical new approach to eliminate threats—an approach built on good data, analytics, and AI that’s always learning.
Cortex XDR Benefits
  • Stop attacks with proven, best-inclass security. Uncover and block attacks with behavior-based and AI-powered next-generation antivirus.
  • Detect advanced threats with  analytics and AI. Uncover threats at machine speed with the solution that delivered 100% detection in the 2023 MITRE ATT&CK® Evaluations.
  • Reduce alerts by up to 98%. Avoid alert fatigue with a game-changing incident engine that intelligently groups related alerts.
  • Cut investigation time by 88%. Verify threats quickly by getting a complete picture of attacks with root cause analysis.
  • Maximize ROI. Consolidate tools and simplify operations to cut SOC costs.
Prevent, Detect, and Respond to the Stealthiest Threats
  • You can now stop modern attacks with Cortex XDR®, the industry’s first endpoint-based extended detection and response platform that integrates data from any source. Your SOC team can cut through the noise and focus on what matters most with intelligent alert grouping and incident scoring. Crossdata insights accelerate investigations so that you can streamline incident response and recovery.
  • Finally, by harnessing the power of AI, analytics, and rich data, XDR allows you to detect stealthy threats.


Get Full Visibility Across Your Entire Environment
  • Cortex XDR automatically stitches together endpoint, network, cloud, and identity data to accurately detect attacks and simplify investigations. Third-party alerts are dynamically integrated with endpoint data to reveal root cause and save hours of analysts’ time.

Discover Threats with Analytics and Machine Learning

Using machine learning, Cortex XDR continuously profiles endpoint and network behavior to detect anomalous activity indicative of attacks. It provides a 360-degree view of users, including user risk scores, for user behavior analytics (UBA).

Gain Deeper Insights with Global Analytics

Cortex XDR’s Global Analytics system harnesses cross-customer insights for you to identify advanced threats, such as supply chain and zero-day attacks. By applying analytics to an integrated set of data, Cortex XDR can detect evasive threats that siloed endpoint, network, and cloud detection and response tools miss.

Investigate at Lightning Speed

Each incident within Cortex XDR provides you with a complete picture of an attack, with key artifacts and threat intelligence details. Furthermore, XDR’s Smart Score identifies high-risk incidents with machine learning, empowering your team to quickly assess attack scope and impact.

Orchestrate, Automate, and Enrich with Cortex XSOAR
  • Cortex XDR tightly integrates with Cortex XSOAR®, enabling your teams to feed incident data for automated response based on 1,000+ product integrations. XSOAR playbooks can automatically ingest Cortex XDR incidents, retrieve related alerts, and update incident fields in Cortex XDR. It also links insights to incidents in real time, giving you unmatched visibility into the global threat landscape, and automating the distribution of your threat intelligence at scale.
Block Attacks with Best-in-Class Endpoint Detection and Response
  • The Cortex XDR agent offers unparalleled protection for exploits, malware, ransomware, and fileless attacks. It includes the broadest set of exploit protection modules available to block malware infections. It enables sharp detection with AI-powered analytics and threat insights. Finally, it allows you to remediate quickly and take control of affected machines.

Securely Manage USB and Bluetooth Devices with Device Control

  • The Cortex XDR agent protects your endpoints from malware and data loss by monitoring and managing USB access. You can restrict usage by vendor, type, endpoint, and Active Directory group or user without needing to install another agent on your hosts. Granular policies allow you to assign write or read-only permissions per USB device.
  • Bluetooth devices are also a potential vector for data loss from endpoints. Bluetooth Device Control now gives analysts control over Bluetooth devices connecting to endpoints, covering both Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy devices. Admins can set granular policies, like allowing specific Bluetooth devices for productivity, while blocking everything else and stopping potential data loss. This device control capability for Bluetooth further hardens endpoint security posture and prevents unwanted data sharing over Bluetooth channels.

Protect Endpoints with Host Firewall and Disk Encryption

  • With host firewall and disk encryption capabilities, you can lower your security risks as well as address regulatory requirements. The Cortex XDR host firewall enables you to control inbound and outbound communications on your Windows and macOS endpoints. Additionally, with disk encryption, you can create rules and policies and apply BitLocker or File Vault encryption on your endpoints. Host firewall and disk encryption capabilities and policies can be centrally configured from the Cortex XDR management console
The XDR Advantage
Host Insights
  • Better identify threats andrnvulnerabilities and contain them

Identity Analytics

  • Leverage identity and accessrncontext and behavioral analysis

Forensics

  • Makes triage and forensicrnanalysis easy and more powerful

Identity Threat Detectionrnand Response

  • Manage risk from identityrnthreats and malicious insiders 

eXtended Threat Hunting Data Module (XTH)

  • Gain deeper visibility, enable threat hunting, and unlock advanced analytics
Unify Management, Reporting, Triage, and Response in One Intuitive Console
  • The management console offers end-to-end support for all Cortex XDR capabilities, including endpoint policy management, detection, investigation, and response. You can quickly assess the security status of your organization’s or individual endpoints with customizable dashboards as well as summarize incidents and security trends with graphical reports that can be scheduled or generated on demand. Public APIs extend management to third-party tools, enabling you to retrieve and update incidents, collect agent information, and contain endpoint threats from the management platform of your choice.
Ease Deployment with Cloud Delivery
  • The cloud-native Cortex XDR platform revolutionizes security deployment by eliminating the need for new on-premises log storage or network sensors. At its core is a lightweight agent that can be installed and upgraded without system reboots, minimizing operational disruption. This cloud-first approach provides a scalable and efficient data repository, allowing organizations to easily store and manage security information from multiple sources.
Protecting the Cloud
  • Cortex XDR extends its robust protection to cloud environments, supporting both private and public cloud platforms including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. This versatility ensures consistent security practices across an organization’s entire IT ecosystem, regardless of where assets are hosted. Threats in the cloud are prevented at runtime, detected with analytics tuned for cloud-specific data, and are remediated with cloud-specific response actions. The platform also offers seamless integration with Kubernetes, simplifying deployment to containerized environments and protecting modern, cloud-native applications
