Cortex by Palo Alto Networks’ Post

Platformization...Leadership in so many Gartner quadrants. We're not just firewalls or XDR nor cloud or SOC transformation.

In today’s interconnected world, technology underpins nearly every aspect of our lives. Our reliance on these systems is immense. An outage or bug in these technologies can have far-reaching consequences, as seen with the CrowdStrike incident. This highlights the need to address single points of failure to ensure the resilience and reliability of our digital infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/eQHVsi-x

The cyber security field is filled with so many technical terms it can start to sound like a seperate language! Check out this article where I and a few others discuss new buzzwords we’re hearing.

Stay Ahead in Security: Embrace the Latest Industry Buzzwords! The security landscape is rapidly evolving, introducing new concepts that are reshaping our approach to safety and protection.   Key emerging trends include: 🚀 Open Platform: Facilitates collaboration between manufacturers and developers, enabling tailored solutions through SDKs and APIs. 🚀 Proactive Security: Utilizes AI-powered analytics to anticipate and mitigate incidents before they escalate, enhancing real-time responsiveness. 🚀 Containerization: Allows deployment of applications across various devices, offering flexibility and streamlined updates.   Staying informed about these buzzwords is crucial for professionals aiming to leverage cutting-edge technologies in the security sector.   👉 Read our Expert Panel Round Table Discussion: https://lnkd.in/eKzqsMUp   #securitytrends #openplatform #proactivesecurity #physicalsecurityindustry #ai   Axis Communications, Gallagher Security, Entrust, Johnson Controls Fredrik Nilsson, Pedro De Jesus, Jordan Avnaim, Kevin Woodworth, Larry Anderson

The current trends around Threat Detection and Incident Response (#TDIR / #TDR), the #SOC, #SIEM and #XDR got me thinking about how the landscape of TDIR/SOC is changing. 1) Market consolidation through mergers and acquisition: Cisco acquired Splunk, Palo Alto Networks acquired the software assets of IBM QRadar, LogRhythm merging with Exabeam 2) Shift towards integrated security platforms: Cisco, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are all consolidating positions in the SIEM and security analytics with a trend towards comprehensive platforms that offer integrated solutions covering threat detection, response, and analytics. 3) Evolution of SIEM technology (5th gen): The market is transitioning to 5th generation #SIEMs that incorporate AI and automation with #cloud based systems gaining traction for scalability and flexibility. 4) XDR positioning as a SIEM alternative: Some vendors are positioning their XDR solutions as SIEM replacements and leaning in that XDR provides a more integrated approach to detection and response compared to traditional #SIEM + #SOAR setups. 5) Vendor consolidation by customers: In 2023, Gartner believed that 75% of organizations were seeking to consolidate the number of #cybersecurity vendors they use and that 65% of organizations consolidate to improve their risk posture. 6) Emergence of new security concepts: New approaches like Continuous Threat Exposure Management (#CTEM), Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (#CIEM), and Automated Moving Target Defense (#AMTD) are gaining attention. The overall trend seems to be towards more integrated, #AI-driven security platforms that can handle the increasing complexity and volume of threats across diverse IT environments This is my opinion of what is going on in the market. What is yours? Let's start a conversation.

In the face of rapid technological advancements, organizations are challenged to adapt their computing infrastructures to keep up with the pace of digital innovation. Mike Thomson, COO of Unisys, in his latest interview with Todd Pruzan from the Harvard Business Review Group addresses this issue with emphasis on importance of comprehensive strategy that aligns technology investments with business objectives, leveraging AI and data telemetry to improve service delivery and proactively anticipate needs. Robust cybersecurity measures, such as multi-factor authentication and advanced protective software, to safeguard the expanding network of endpoints in hybrid work environments. #AI #organizationalchangemanagement

Why is Xcitium EDR's "Zero Dwell Containment" technology superior to traditional EDR solutions? 👉 Xcitium EDR's "Zero Dwell Containment" technology is considered superior to traditional EDR because it proactively isolates and prevents unknown threats from executing on an endpoint in real-time, essentially eliminating the "dwell time" where an attacker could operate undetected, unlike traditional EDR which typically only detects threats after they have already begun to execute, potentially causing damage; this is achieved through automatic isolation in virtualized containers, preventing malicious activity from reaching the user's system or data For more details and live demo reach us on -sandeep.kumar@xcitium.com Harish KrishnanJake WellsXcitiumVS Square Info Solutions

I had an amazing time last week at the Palo Alto Networks Ignite in Delhi, speaking on the panel "Threat, Defense & Business Value in the Era of SOC Modernization." In a world where SOCs face unprecedented complexity, visibility challenges, and alert fatigue, AI is the key to modernization. Cortex XSIAM streamlines SOC transformation—accelerating the detection of unknown threats, cutting through alert noise, and automating incident response with AI and ML to drive efficiency like never before. How much time does your SOC spend fighting through noise or manually piecing together the story of an attack? If you’re still relying on outdated processes, you’re falling behind. With Cortex by Palo Alto Networks XSIAM, an AI-augmented security operations platform, the future is here, and there’s more to come.
