A robust security operation that ensures achieving automation, stability, and scalability
There is room for improvement in some areas, and I would highlight three key aspects. Firstly, the Attack Surface Management (ASM) module could benefit from more contextual depth. Currently, it tends to provide a broad overview without enriched context, and there's room for enhancement in this regard. Secondly, further integration capabilities with various other software products that can seamlessly tie into Cortex XSIAM would be advantageous. This would enhance its versatility and interoperability within a broader ecosystem. Regarding performance, there's potential for optimization. When multiple tabs are open in Cortex XSIAM, it can experience slowdowns, leading to longer load times for web pages. It's worth noting that this isn't a severe issue, and it doesn't entail waiting for extended periods, but there is room for improvement in terms of performance optimization.

"Its ability to deliver a substantial amount of security intelligence greatly enhances and optimizes our security operations program."
"It does a better job of identifying anomalies that are more likely to be incidents of compromise without as many false positives or false negatives."
"One of the valued aspects of the product is its use of artificial intelligence to detect security vulnerabilities."
"It is an effective solution in terms of performance and functionalities."
"The automation capabilities significantly improve response times by allowing us to respond to incidents from a single dashboard rather than navigating multiple dashboards."

"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
