Cisco XDR is a cloud-based extended detection and response solution that helps security teams detect, investigate, and respond to threats more effectively. It integrates threat detection, investigation, and response into a streamlined process, allowing for quick detection and prioritization of sophisticated threats. By collecting and correlating data from various sources such as network, cloud, endpoint, and applications, Cisco XDR provides unified visibility and reduces false positives.

Cisco XDR improves threat detection by offering deep network insights and visibility through integrations with both Cisco security solutions and third-party tools. This multi-vector approach allows for a comprehensive view of attacks, enabling security teams to identify potential threats earlier. Additionally, the built-in AI Assistant provides data-driven guidance and recommended actions, which helps accelerate the detection and response process.

Cisco XDR is available in three licensing tiers: Essentials, Advantage, and Premier. The Essentials tier offers full XDR capabilities for Cisco-only environments. The Advantage tier adds integrations with select third-party security tools, making it suitable for mixed security stacks. The Premier tier includes all Advantage features along with Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) services provided by Cisco security experts.
