Cisco XDR

Detect, correlate, and respond to advanced threats across your entire environment, from endpoint to cloud, with Cisco XDR

BOOK A DEMO

What is Cisco XDR?

Cisco XDR is a next-generation Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solution that unifies telemetry across your security stack, including: endpoints, email, identity, network, and cloud, to provide deep visibility, smarter correlations, and rapid, automated responses to threats.

Unlike siloed security tools that detect in isolation, Cisco XDR correlates across sources in real time, turning raw signals into prioritised, actionable insights, reducing mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR).

It integrates natively with Cisco Secure solutions and third-party tools, giving security teams a single console for detection, investigation, and response.

		Integrated Telemetry
		Combines visibility from Cisco and third-party security tools.

		Attack Chain Correlation
		Maps alerts to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and real-world threats.

		Automated Response
		Built in playbooks and response actions reduce response time.

		Unified Console
		A single, intuitive interface across threat vectors.

		Open Architecture
		API-ready and designed to work in multi-vendor environments.

		Backed by Cisco Talos
		Threat intelligence from one of the world’s largest threat research teams.

Cisco XDR vs Traditional Tools

Capability	Cisco XDR	Traditional Tools
Cross-Domain Correlation	Yes – native and third-party data sources	Limited or siloed per tool
Threat Prioritisation	MITRE ATT&CK mapping and context-aware scoring	Raw alerts without business or threat context
Response Automation	Built-in playbooks and actions	Manual or requires external SOAR
Single-Pane Investigation	Unified incident view with timelines and context	Requires switching between tools
Third-Party Integration	Open XDR with APIs and partner support	Often closed or requires custom connectors
Cisco Ecosystem Synergy	Fully integrated with Secure Endpoint, Umbrella, etc.	Varies depending on vendor
