Cisco XDR is a unified threat detection, investigation, mitigation, and hunting solution designed specifically for State, Local, and Education (SLED) entities. It integrates various security tools and provides a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity by correlating data from networks, cloud, endpoints, email, and applications. This solution helps SLED organizations enhance their security operations, allowing teams to detect, prioritize, and respond to threats more efficiently.

Cisco XDR addresses several cybersecurity challenges faced by SLED entities, such as increasing cyber threats and limited budgets. With a 95% increase in cyber-attacks targeting government agencies in 2022, Cisco XDR simplifies security operations by integrating detection and response capabilities. This allows SLED organizations to proactively mitigate threats, streamline investigations, and improve response times, all while working within tight financial constraints.

Automation in Cisco XDR refers to the use of technology to perform repetitive tasks without manual intervention, such as log analysis and threat detection. This reduces the workload on security analysts, allowing them to focus on more complex security issues. By automating routine tasks, Cisco XDR enhances the efficiency of Security Operations Centers (SOCs) within SLED entities, enabling faster detection and response to security incidents.
