Efficient coordination improves operations with seamless integration and rapid automation
The typical use cases for Cortex XSIAM are diverse I would describe the impact of Cortex XSIAM's automation on my security operations center as efficient. I use Cortex XSIAM's behavior analytics, and it helps identify unusual activities. I leverage Cortex XSIAM's incident management features for…

Though the solution offers good technical support, it needs to be made more user-friendly
I rate the initial setup a seven and a half out of ten. So, it's closer to seven. The tool is deployed in our organization on-premises with some test servers. In only two tests in a test environment, the deployment can be carried out. The deployment time only depends on the size of your infrastructure. If I limit the company's size, it will not take too much time. So, it can be done in seven to eight hours. Regarding the deployment process, we have managed some test servers, after which we need to install some agents. If you include more servers, you need to install more agents. If you want to use agent-based, I would say that it is totally up to the stakeholder. You will get some additional benefits if you can choose the agent since you will be more assured that less positive false positive results you will get from the tool. For deployment, one test server, a few deployment servers, and some policy configurations are done by the OEM with some local support. We used some Windows servers and Linux servers, and we installed some agents in different types of operating systems. So different versions of Linux and different versions of Windows. We also integrate some network devices like firewalls to integrate firewalls and logs. So, the amount of logs and firewalls is too much. I have to engage too many employees for deployment. So there are those for Linux servers, others for Windows servers, and the rest for network devices. One for SIEM policy creation and one for SIEM management administration is also required.
