Cato Networks has expanded its Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Cloud platform with the introduction of Cato XDR, an extended detection and response (XDR) solution [1] [2]. This new solution aims to address the challenges faced by legacy XDR solutions, offering improved security measures and a more efficient approach to handling security incidents [1].
Description
Cato XDR leverages the functional and operational capabilities of the Cato SASE Cloud [1] [2], providing organizations with a comprehensive view of incidents. By integrating with leading Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) providers and offering a rich set of native sensors, Cato XDR ensures security analysts have the necessary tools to effectively investigate and respond to threats. The platform’s Stories Dashboard offers an intuitive interface for navigating and understanding the correlation of events generated by sensors [3]. Additionally, the AI-powered Account Risk Score widget provides an overview of the overall risk score [3]. The Stories Workbench page allows analysts to prioritize and filter open stories for efficient triage [3]. With its SASE-based approach and integration with the Cato SASE Cloud platform [3], Cato XDR simplifies the coordination of disparate security tools and limited resources in cybersecurity [3], providing security analysts with a methodological process for analyzing threats and a comprehensive view of incidents. Cato Networks claims that Cato XDR is available immediately [2].
Conclusion
Cato XDR’s introduction to the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Cloud platform offers organizations a solution to the challenges faced by legacy XDR solutions. With improved security measures and a more efficient approach to handling security incidents [1], Cato XDR provides security analysts with the necessary tools to effectively investigate and respond to threats. By simplifying the coordination of security tools and resources, Cato XDR streamlines cybersecurity operations. The availability of Cato XDR immediately allows organizations to enhance their security capabilities and mitigate potential risks.
