Designed by SOC experts for SOC experts, Cisco XDR simplifies security operations to help security analysts remain proactive and resilient against the most sophisticated threats. By aggregating and correlating data from multiple disparate detection technologies into a unified view, Cisco XDR enables faster, more simplified investigations, reduces false positives, and streamlines incident response through clear prioritization of alerts.

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, understanding threats and effectively neutralizing them is paramount. Join us to explore a holistic framework designed by defenders, for defenders, and learn how to build a comprehensive strategy for understanding, evaluating, and defending against cyber threats.
 
 During this session, we will explore:
 
- Contextual Understanding: Recognize the circumstances that give rise to specific cybersecurity scenarios.
- Threat Evaluation: Unpack the journey of a potential threat through the attack lifecycle using a real-life example that will provide insight into how seemingly benign actions can pave the way for significant security compromise.
- Defense in Action: Dive into the various lines of defense at your disposal. From restricting and blocking actions to observing and interrupting breaches, we’ll discuss how each strategy works to create a comprehensive defense mechanism.
- This webinar, led by Cisco Breach Protection experts, will teach you how to master the art of defending and ensure your organization stays a step ahead of potential threats.

The Art of Defending – How to Build a Comprehensive Threat Response Strategy

Each year brings new threats that take advantage of increasingly complex security environments. Whether it’s Volt Typhoon targeting critical infrastructure organizations across the United States or ALPHV launching an attack against casino giant MGM, threat actors are becoming bolder and more evasive. That’s why it’s never been more important to leverage broad telemetry sources, deep network insights and threat intelligence to respond effectively and recover faster from sophisticated attacks. 

Join us for a candid conversation with William Largent, Talos Threat Researcher and Briana Farro, Director of XDR Product Management at Cisco, as they discuss some of the top threat trends and threats we have seen this past year and how to leverage security technology like XDR and network insights to fight against them.

"Organizations with mature XDR implementation experience a 45% improvement in security resilience compared to those without it. To achieve resilience in the face of sophisticated attacks, organizations must elevate security into a strategic business function that minimizes the impact of attack with an effective detection and response solution. With the most comprehensive system to create accurate, rapid and actionable intelligence and unrivaled telemetry at its disposal, Cisco Talos is uniquely positioned to defend organizations against known and emerging threats.
In this webinar, you’ll learn about the right approach to XDR, current best practices and real-world examples of how Talos builds on XDR to optimize threat detection and incident response with the goal of increasing resilience."

Doing ‘XDR’ Right in the Multi-vendor, Multi-vector Universe

Join this webinar as Habib Hussain talks about Cisco XDR Designed for the challenges faced by security analysts today and into the future, Cisco XDR helps security teams correlate data from multiple sources into a unified view to detect events sooner, streamline investigations, and accelerate responses. Built-in automation, orchestration and guided remediation helps automates repetitive task and mitigate threats more effectively. Integrating with the broad Cisco security portfolio and a collection of key third-party offerings, Cisco XDR is one of the most comprehensive and flexible solutions on the market today.

Cisco XDR: Experience the Simplicity of Accelerated Threat Detection

"In today's ever-evolving digital landscape, emerging threats present a constant challenge for organizations striving to maintain robust cybersecurity. To effectively protect against these threats, security leaders must be equipped with the knowledge and strategies necessary to prepare and defend their organizations.  

Register for our upcoming webinar where you’ll hear from our Guest Speaker, Forrester Senior Analyst Allie Mellen, and Cisco VP of Product Management, AJ Shipley as they delve into the world of emerging threats, providing valuable insights for security leaders. Join us as we uncover what you need to know to drive change and navigate the ever-changing threat landscape with confidence. "

Navigating Emerging Threats: Insights for Security Leaders

Existing threat detection and response technologies are not as effective as they need to be for today’s security landscape. This unfortunate reality is becoming more evident as increasingly insidious cyber-attacks are disrupting businesses globally, and overwhelming security teams with the volume and complexity of the alerts they see daily. 

Maintaining effective security operations in today's chaotic threat landscape requires an extended detection and response (XDR) approach that improves upon past threat detection models and leverages new technology and techniques that can defend against today’s threats.

Join us for a chat with ESG and Cisco experts as they walk through ESG’s recent XDR research and detail: 
• How XDR addresses current and future challenges by utilizing threat correlation and automation
• How network insights can help detect complex threats beyond current industry approaches 
• How to take a phased approach to XDR implementation that leverages existing investments and unifies visibility regardless of vendor or vector.  
• How the right XDR automates security operations processes to elevate SOC productivity

By the end of this session, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge needed to determine XDR’s suitability for your organization and how you can implement it into your organization.

How a Risk-based XDR Approach Improves Threat Detection and Response

There are seemingly endless views across the cybersecurity industry on what XDR should and shouldn’t include. In reality, XDR strategies can leverage any and all of an organization’s telemetry sources, but there are a few that are foundational to a strong and effective XDR solution. In our last webinar, we discussed how endpoint telemetry was critical to detecting, investigating and responding to threats effectively, but network telemetry is equally foundational.

Join us to explore the importance of leveraging network insights to inform better XDR outcomes and to help organizations protect against today’s most dangerous complex threats.

Leveraging Network Insights to Inform your XDR Outcomes

Security Analysts: Are you tired of doing the same old repetitive tasks over and over again, not leaving any time for you to respond to new and potentially dangerous threats? 
SecOps Managers: Are you struggling with the resource shortage in your SOC and need to find better ways to help your team deal with the overload of tasks and alerts? 
CISOs: What are your vendors doing to help your teams work smarter - not longer hours - helping them become more strategic and able to handle new complex threats they see daily? 
Join Cisco experts as they talk about what effective automation looks like, what automation in the world of XDR really means, and why it’s vital for you to start using.

The time for automation is now: How your attackers are using automation

Security Analysts: Are you able to leverage telemetry across all your security point solutions to get a clear picture of what is happening across your organization? 
SecOps Managers: Is your SOC team switching from product to product just to piece together one connected attack? Is your team able to gather insights from all available sources? 
CISOs: Are your vendors helping you make better use of your existing security investments and allowing you to make the best use of your security stack? 
Join us to learn how taking an open approach to XDR and leveraging native but also third-party tools can result in better detections of threats, and a more coordinated response strategy!
