In order to provide the integrated signal that businesses require to make extended detection and response (XDR) a reality, Vectra AI, the industry leader in AI-driven cyber threat detection and response, today announced the Vectra AI Platform with patented Attack Signal IntelligenceTM.

With the help of the Vectra AI Platform, businesses can combine endpoint detection and response (EDR) signal with public cloud, identity, SaaS, and network signal from Vectra AI in order to arm SOC teams with the tools they need to keep up with hybrid attacks' increasing sophistication, speed, and scale.

Security teams face a vicious cycle of increased attack surfaces, more evasive attacker techniques, increased alerts, and increased workload and burnout for SOC analysts without a reliable defence against advanced hybrid attackers.

According to recent research, 63% of SOC analysts say the size of their attack surface has grown over the past three years, and 67% say they are unable to control the volume of daily alerts they receive. Security teams can move as quickly as contemporary hybrid attackers thanks to the Vectra AI Platform, which enables them to spot behaviour that other tools are unable to. The Vectra AI Platform provides the integrated signal powering XDR by utilising AI to analyse attacker behaviour and automatically triage, correlate, and prioritise security incidents.

"To us, it's always about the results, not the abbreviations. According to Jay DePaul, Chief Cybersecurity & Technology Risk Officer at Dun & Bradstreet, it's about the end result, not some predetermined definition of how to get there. "Vectra AI is assisting us in achieving our ultimate objectives, thwarting sophisticated adversaries, modernising our security operations, and ultimately enhancing our cyber resilience."

Security professionals are interested in using XDR to help them address a number of threat detection and response challenges, according to Jon Oltsik, distinguished analyst and Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) fellow. Since current tools struggle to identify and investigate sophisticated threats, demand specialised knowledge, and are ineffective at correlating alerts, XDR seems like an appealing option. In conclusion, CISOs desire XDR tools that can increase security effectiveness, particularly with regard to advanced threat detection. They also want to increase staff productivity and streamline security operations with XDR.

Achieve Integrated Signal Across Hybrid Attack Surfaces

The Vectra AI Platform integrates native and third-party attack signals across hybrid cloud domains including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure AD, networks of all types, and endpoints leveraging the customer's Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tool of choice.

"The current approach to threat detection and response is fundamentally broken, as more organisations shift to hybrid environments and security teams continue to face increasing cloud complexity, alert fatigue, and analyst burnout," said Hitesh Sheth, president and CEO of Vectra AI. "As the pioneer of AI-driven threat detection and response, our best-in-class platform delivers the most accurate integrated signal across the hybrid Enterprise to make XDR a reality at speed and scale."
