Why Cortex XDR is the better choice to stop modern threats
Evaluating endpoint security solutions and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) vendors can be daunting, so we’re providing a comparison of key attributes and capabilities that you should expect from a true XDR solution. Compared to Cortex XDR, Microsoft delivers an incomplete solution, with complex licensing and the need to add-on as many as six different products to achieve XDR-like capabilities. Cortex XDR provides better prevention, better visibility, and better analytics and detection. Learn more about how Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR outperforms Microsoft.
Comprehensive Prevention
The Cortex XDR agent safeguards endpoints from malware, exploits, and fileless attacks with industry-best, AI-driven local analysis and behavior-based protection.
-
Organizations can stop emerging and zero-day threats with a single cloud-delivered agent for endpoint protection, threat detection, and incident response.
-
Cortex XDR is rated a Strategic Leader in the Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) Test by AV-Comparatives. With an overall active prevention score of 100%, Cortex XDR has received unbeaten scores two years in a row while also having one of the lowest Total Cost of Ownership scores.
Broader Visibility
By continuously collecting telemetry on all process, file, network, and registry actions that take place on an endpoint, Cortex XDR helps ensure that attacker activities do not remain hidden nor escape scrutiny.
-
All security events and alerts are correlated into a single view to provide a complete picture of each incident, helping to accelerate investigations much faster than the status quo.
-
Visibility is extended across all data sources to reveal the root cause and timeline of alerts, allowing analysts to easily expedite the triage process and contain threats across the entire infrastructure.
Superior Analytics & Detection
Cortex XDR is the industry’s first true Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platform. Advancing endpoint security beyond just endpoint data collection, Cortex XDR integrates across network, cloud and third-party data to effectively stop modern cyberattacks. Machine learning models analyze data from Palo Alto Networks and third-party sources, using behavioral analytics to uncover stealthy attacks targeting managed and unmanaged devices.
-
Cortex XDR has delivered top performance in the MITRE ATT&CK® evaluation - for the past 3 years. Most recently, we provided stellar enforcement to defend against the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by the Carbanak and FIN7 threat groups, leading the pack in preventions and detections in the round 3 of their evaluation.
