A comprehensive platform for detecting and responding to threats across security tools. It unifies data from different systems, analyses traffic and uses AI to prioritise incidents. It enables faster and more effective response.
Cisco XDR represents a modern approach to cyber threat detection and response that overcomes the limitations of traditional isolated security tools. As an Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platform solution, it integrates security data from endpoints, networks, cloud, email, and identities into a unified view. This consolidation enables comprehensive analysis of security events, identification of advanced threats, and orchestrated response across the entire infrastructure. Cisco XDR leverages advanced machine learning and automation technologies to prioritise real threats, eliminate information noise, and accelerate security operations.
Klíčové vlastnosti a funkcionality
XDR Analytics: Unifies visibility across your entire infrastructure through:
- Private Network Monitoring (PNM) for monitoring on-premise environments and detecting hidden threats
- Public Cloud Monitoring (PCM) for detecting threats in public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Security Analytics for analysing security data and identifying complex attack patterns
- Automated mapping and visualisation of relationships between assets and incidents
Telemetry Broker: A specialised component for collecting, normalising and processing telemetry from various sources, optimised for hybrid cloud environments. It enables the transformation of AWS VPC Flow Logs into IPFIX format for better visibility in cloud environments.
Network Visibility Module (NVM): Collects contextual information about network traffic from endpoints via Cisco Secure Client, providing a detailed view of network communications and application behaviour even outside the corporate network.
Incident Management and Prioritisation:
- Automatic assessment of the severity and potential impact of incidents based on contextual information
- Correlate related telemetry into unified incidents for more efficient investigation
- Prioritise incidents based on the business criticality of affected systems
Threat Intelligence: Integration with Cisco Talos and other threat intelligence sources for rapid identification of known threats and indicators of compromise.
Response orchestration and automation
- Predefined and customisable workflows for automating common security processes
- Response Actions for rapid response to confirmed threats
- Automated investigation procedures to reduce manual work by analysts and exploitation in real-world environments.
Custom Workflows: Ability to create custom workflows for specific organisational security processes and integrate with existing tools.
Third-party integration: Extensive integration ecosystem including:
- Microsoft (Azure, M365, Defender, Sentinel)
- AWS and Google Cloud Platform
- Security solutions such as Check Point, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, SentinelOne
- SIEM solutions including Splunk, LogRhythm and IBM QRadar
- SOAR and ticketing systems such as ServiceNow and Jira
How Cisco XDR works?
The system collects and correlates data from various security layers and creates a comprehensive view of security events. Using advanced analytics engines and machine learning, it identifies relationships between seemingly unrelated events and reveals complex attack patterns. XDR can automatically prioritise threats based on their potential impact and provide analysts with detailed context for effective investigation. Predefined playbooks and response workflows then enable rapid remediation of identified threats across the entire organisation's infrastructure.
Přínosy pro zákazníka By deploying Cisco XDR, your organisation gains
Improved detection of complex threats
Ability to identify sophisticated multi-vector attacks that individual security tools would not be able to detect.
Reduced incident response time
Thanks to routine task automation, prioritisation and contextual information, analysts can respond more quickly to real threats.
Reduce false alarms
Correlation and analysis of events from different sources enables more accurate detection and minimises false positives.
Improve security team efficiency
Automation and orchestration of common processes allows teams to focus on more complex security issues.
Unified view of security status
Consolidated view of security events across the entire infrastructure without having to switch between different tools.
Maximise the value of existing investments
Integration with existing Cisco and third-party security products increases their effectiveness and value.
