what is cortex xdr

Cortex XDR is an extended detection and response platform that monitors and manages cloud, network, and endpoint events and data. It is designed to create a strong security shield around your endpoint by integrating with Artificial intelligence, cloud-basis analysis, and behavior analysis tools. Cortex XDR accurately detects threats with behavioral analytics and reveals the root cause to speed up investigations. It uses machine learning to profile behavior and detect anomalies indicative of attack. Cortex XDR provides endpoint protection against malware, fileless attacks, ransomware, and exploits. It also includes Device Control, a feature designed to monitor and secure USB access to devices. Cortex XDR automatically pinpoints active attacks, allowing your team to triage and contain threats before the damage is done. It also automatically reveals the root cause, reputation, and sequence of events associated with each alert, lowering the experience needed for accurate validation. Cortex XDR lets your security team instantly contain network, endpoint, and cloud threats from one console. Your analysts can quickly stop the spread of malware, restrict network activity to and from devices, and update threat prevention lists like bad domains through tight integration with enforcement points. Cortex XDR is designed to simplify your security operation by consolidating tools at one point and reducing your teams work burden.
