Cisco XDR

Cisco XDR is an extended detection and response platform designed to modernize security operations centers by correlating multi-domain telemetry across endpoints, network infrastructure, email gateways, cloud environments, and identity providers into unified, prioritized incident investigations. The platform addresses the critical challenge of SOC alert fatigue by ingesting, deduplicating, and analyzing telemetry from diverse security controls, enabling SecOps teams to detect stealthy adversary campaigns and execute automated response actions within minutes.

Delivered as a cloud-native SaaS solution, Cisco XDR leverages an open architecture that combines native integrations across the Cisco Secure portfolio—including Cisco Secure Endpoint, Cisco Secure Network Analytics, Cisco Secure Firewall, Cisco Umbrella, and Cisco Duo—with certified third-party connectors for Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Palo Alto Networks, AWS, and ServiceNow. The platform features an intuitive Attack Storyboard that visualizes complete adversary attack chains using the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Security analysts can trigger automated remediation playbooks conditionally, isolate infected endpoints, revoke compromised user credentials, or block malicious domains across firewalls and web gateways with a single click.

Primary enterprise use cases include cross-telemetry threat detection, automated incident investigation and correlation, root-cause analysis, threat hunting, and coordinated SOC playbook automation. By unifying telemetry and response actions across heterogeneous security ecosystems, Cisco XDR drastically accelerates mean time to detect and mean time to respond to advanced cyber attacks.
