The impact of AI assistance and Cisco XDR on productivity is massive. We're no longer tied to just our reporting that was created for either looking at information specifically requested, or in response to a past event that we knew about. Now, security administrators can just go look and chat with the bot to get back a much more instant response and almost a live view of the data. They can navigate through breadcrumbs to get to the details of an event without causing hours of delays for someone to dig through that data or involve someone more conversationally versed in specific hardware products to look at the data. The feature for prioritizing incidents across multiple security controls in Cisco XDR has affected my incident management process significantly. Even on the vendor side, as a traditional IT shop, we have silos of excellence where all these teams don't necessarily work together until there is an incident. Having our security and specified incident response leads from each team be able to get this data quickly allows security to determine if an incident is a mistake, a script triggering alarms, or just a bad network change. My experience with using Cisco XDR to evaluate gaps in security coverage has been quite beneficial. Giving our security team and the first few end-user leads that own specific systems access to the AI chatbot has been crucial. We did reviews to determine what they are asking of the bot, how often they prompt it, and the types of responses they are getting back. This helped us identify that many of the teams in the middle that own connecting pieces did not realize that the security team was more responsive and concerned about certain issues than they thought. My advice for other organizations considering Cisco XDR is to evaluate if they're already using a platform that meets all their needs. Think about what additional capabilities you desire, and envision what could be possible if everyone had access to pertinent data. Engaging directly with someone at Cisco to demonstrate how XDR can meet those needs is crucial to instill excitement and clarity among teams about data, workflows, and security. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Cisco XDR a 9.
Cisco XDR streamlines incident response through its provided functionalities because, based on the clarity of the dashboard and the granularity, it works effectively. I would rate Cisco XDR overall a nine out of ten, based on the price point.
Some alerts before incidents occur would be a beneficial AI feature. Customers expect alerts for potential problems so they can take preventive measures. I rate Cisco XDR as eight out of ten. Our experience indicates that additional features or licensing options could enrich the overall experience.

I would rate Cisco XDR a nine out of ten. The only thing that could make it a ten is better licensing. That's my only complaint.
