ABHISHEK_SINGH - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Unified threat detection has strengthened visibility and reduced response time across all environments
Cisco XDR offers a wide range of integrations and connectors where we can integrate a whole range of devices available in our on-premises environment as well as cloud sources which we have primarily on AWS and Azure. Those environment log sources are integrated with Cisco XDR and it helps provide a single pane of glass view in terms of our security posture, giving us visibility within a single platform rather than focusing on individual security devices such as firewalls or EDRs which would typically be working in silos. These integrations are straightforward. Cloud workloads are easier to integrate compared to on-premises devices, primarily because the cloud workloads have readymade connectors and integration standard operating procedures for us to integrate with Cisco XDR. We have typically not faced challenges with integrations with Cisco XDR. There may be certain OEMs which are not well known and cannot be directly integrated without the help of vendor support or OEM support, which we were able to connect with and ensure they are integrated with Cisco XDR. From the reporting perspective, the dashboards offer quite a lot of predefined and useful options which help with live threat monitoring and provide a high-level view of the current threats, incident reporting metrics, mean time to detect, and mean time to respond. These sorts of dashboards are available on the platform and help provide a good view even for someone at the leadership level. Cisco XDR has definitely improved our security posture and our visualization, ensuring that we are protected and providing greater visibility for our SOC team. Cisco XDR has definitely reduced our mean time to respond. Previously it used to be more than 24 hours, but we have been able to reduce it to less than 16 hours due to all the various integrations and automation capabilities. Cisco XDR has been useful for us to gain visibility into gaps in our security posture and how those can be improved by conducting analysis on the platform itself. We have utilized the platform to improve our security posture and reduce blind spots.

Built faster threat response and improved visibility with real-time monitoring and flexible deployment
TrendAI Vision One allows us to monitor attacks in real time, which is a significant benefit. We can quickly see where the attack is coming from. TrendAI Vision One enables us to use different products with a flexible license. For example, if a customer is using endpoint security and wants to switch to another solution, they can instantly use a different Trend Micro product, such as email. TrendAI Vision One has helped to reduce the time to detect and respond to different threats, as it can respond to attacks very quickly. With playbook templates, in cases of recurring attacks, responses can be made quickly using predefined playbooks. TrendAI Vision One has helped to reduce noise from false positives. There have been false positives before, but it was due to the customer not telling us which app they were using. Best practice configurations must be applied properly to avoid such issues. TrendAI Vision One helps customers consolidate the use of security vendors and reduce silos by offering one platform for all product management.
