Ensures robust security management with seamless integration
We work with the cloud version of Cortex Xpanse. We are working with Palo Alto products right at the moment. We have Cortex and GlobalProtect that we are using. I'm not sure if we utilize Cortex Xpanse's capability to identify internet-facing assets. I'm not sure about the automated threat assessment of Cortex helping prioritize vulnerabilities. I would assess the integration capabilities of Cortex Xpanse as good; no issues so far with integration with other tools from different vendors. Cortex Xpanse supports our organization's regulatory compliance efforts 100%, and it's what we need from it. Right now, I am working only with Palo Alto for security. I am not planning to work with some other vendors. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Cortex Xpanse a nine.

Centralized threat intelligence has improved our visibility and accelerated incident response
You can find out new threats and security incidents with SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence. You can see the new vulnerabilities when you are using your products. This is very useful. SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence has improved security in my organization, but there are some problems. Sometimes there are too many alarms, which can become quite tiring. We have a lot of information infrastructures, and SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence has improved our security, but we do experience some alert fatigue. There are a lot of web servers. We also integrated SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence with the SIEM. We can see together, and we can see all of the threats and new threats, especially. If you integrate all internal sources, IP addresses, and services to SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence, you can view all of the sources together in a single monitor and area. You can also view all the tickets and vulnerabilities and threats. This is very useful.
