Cortex XDR

Managed Detection and Response Services

Preventing successful cyberattacks requires the right combination of products and expertise

As threats and attacks evolve, many organizations find that traditional methods and products are limited in their scope and effectiveness. Compounding the problem, the growing cybersecurity skills shortage means many companies don’t have a dedicated team that can view and respond to threats 24/7.

Today, with Cortex XDR cloud-based detection and response, our partners can provide managed threat hunting, investigation and response across network, endpoint and cloud environments.
