Cortex XDR
AI-driven ransomware prevention with proven efficacy
Cortex XDR stops ransomware before encryption begins. Rated AAA by SE Labs with 100% ransomware prevention in independent testing, the platform integrates endpoint, network, cloud, and identity data into a single detection and response solution.
See it in action Download datasheetOne platform for complete SOC operations
Cortex XDR eliminates security blind spots by correlating endpoint, network, cloud, and identity data into a unified detection and response workflow.
ML-powered threat detection
Patented behavioral analytics continuously profile endpoint, network, and user behavior to identify sophisticated attacks using machine learning.
Coordinated response
Block malware, isolate endpoints, execute scripts, or sweep the entire environment to contain threats with flexible response options.
Next-generation antivirus
Block malware, exploits, and fileless attacks with AI-driven local and cloud-based analysis through a lightweight endpoint agent.
Managed detection and response
Expert-led protection with Unit 42
Cortex XDR combined with Unit 42 MDR extends protection beyond software alone. The service adds continuous expert monitoring, rapid incident response, and proactive threat hunting to the platform.
In 20% of breaches, attackers exfiltrate data within 60 minutes. Unit 42 MDR provides sub-hour response times to close that gap.
- 24/7/365 monitoring: Security analysts watch the environment around the clock, triaging and escalating events as they occur.
- Sub-hour response: Containment actions begin within minutes of detection, limiting the window for data exfiltration.
- Proactive threat hunting: Analysts actively search for hidden threats using intelligence gathered from 70,000+ global deployments.

Prevention, detection, and response
Why security teams switch to Cortex
Cortex XDR replaces fragmented point tools with a single platform that prevents, detects, and responds to threats across the entire attack surface.
Prevention first
Blocks malware before execution. Unlike detection-only tools, Cortex XDR prevents threats inline rather than alerting after the fact.
Unified data
Correlates endpoint, network, cloud, and identity data into a single view. Attackers cannot hide in the gaps between disconnected tools.
Smart grouping
Automatically groups thousands of related alerts into a single incident. Reduces analyst workload by 98% and accelerates investigation.
Single agent
One lightweight agent protects Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android devices without degrading endpoint performance.
