Cybersecurity  platforms are only as intelligent as the data provided to them, and every security organization wants to leverage as much data as possible. This typically includes subscribing to one or more threat intelligence feeds from third-party organizations. As an open platform with a mission to integrate all important security data and tools,  Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR  platform eliminates the need for our customers to subscribe to third-party threat intelligence feeds with additional complexity and cost because it automatically integrates our own  Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP)  into its architecture.

  Stellar Cyber built the original  Open XDR platform . It provides tool consolidation, improved SOC performance, and significantly reduces the critical metrics of  MTTD  and  MTTR .  This is accomplished through  ML-based detections , automated threat hunting, integrated threat intelligence feeds to speed analysis, and automated response capabilities.  For our  MSP  and  MSSP partners , it has proven to help them achieve a significant strategic advantage. Competition is getting tighter though, and it is not only coming from other  security products  ( SIEM ,  NTA ); one of the areas where we see the most recent  XDR  development is  EDR .   As the cost for  EDR  products themselves has become more competitive, many of the manufacturers are forced to offer expanded monitoring and management services to maintain profitability.  According to our research with Gartner, they started...

  Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR platform is about giving customers a choice in security tools, and this extends to EDR systems as well as NGFW, vulnerability management, identity management, SOAR and other solutions. EDR has been in the news lately because some EDR vendors have acquired log management companies to flesh out a solution for the security operations center. In fact, some XDR products in the market are based on EDR, and their vendors are grafting on the acquisitions to fill out an XDR solution by bundling different products together. Stellar Cyber is different. Our Open XDR platform is built from ground up as an open platform. We enhance the tools you’re already using by ingesting their data, normalizing and correlating that data, alerting you to detected attacks, and responding through the trusted security tools you’ve already deployed. How does this work with EDR systems? Here’s an example. You have an EDR (Endpoint detection and response) solution in place along ...

  Security problems are essentially data problems. For threat detection , investigation and forensic analysis, ideally one would like to collect as much data as they can and store it as long as they want. However, everything has its limitations. For example, the high long-term storage costs, the slow speed of search/query and infrastructure requirements are common complaints for legacy SIEMs . Thus let’s set the record straight about how Stellar Cyber’s SIEM functions on its Open XDR platform address these data storage issues. There are many big differences with Stellar Cyber’s data storage. You Can Capture the Right Data Stellar Cyber gives you a 360-degree view of your security infrastructure by capturing data from variety of data sources including endpoints, servers, applications, cloud, users. Instead of acting like a log data vacuum cleaner and scooping up every piece of data like packets in network traffic, Stellar Cyber captures only security-relevant data. We extract on...
