Vectra AI, Inc., a leader in hybrid attack detection, investigation, and response, has recently launched a groundbreaking new service designed to defend against hybrid attacks. Known as Vectra MXDR (Managed Extended Detection and Response) services, this global 24×7 open MXDR service is the first of its kind in the industry. It is built to provide hybrid attack surface visibility across various platforms including identity, public cloud, SaaS, data center, and cloud networks, as well as endpoints through integrations with leading EDR vendors.
Traditionally, enterprises have relied on legacy threat detection and response solutions, but with the shift to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, these solutions have proven ineffective at defending against the new threat landscape. This has resulted in the need for increased coverage across the expanding hybrid attack surface. The use of multiple detection solutions has led to siloed tools and rule sprawl, which has caused an unmanageable alert volume for SOC leaders. As a result, SOC teams are spending nearly four hours daily on manual alert triage, leading to excessive workloads and burnout among SOC analysts.
In response to this growing need, Vectra AI has introduced the Vectra MXDR service, aiming to consolidate every aspect of threat detection and response in one unified service. This eliminates the need for multiple providers, while integrations with the industry’s leading EDR platforms enable Vectra AI’s MXDR analysts to monitor the health of an entire security system and take direct action, no matter where the signal comes from.
“We recognized that our customers who are outsourcing these services need a comprehensive platform and access to MXDR specialists who are dedicated to investigating malicious activity,” said Hitesh Sheth, President and CEO of Vectra AI. “With the launch of Vectra MXDR, we’re offering our customers access to the most seasoned experts in hybrid attack defense along with the most accurate AI-driven signal on the market today to help manage their growing workloads and alleviate the burnout they are experiencing.”
The Vectra MXDR service offers several benefits, including AI-driven attack signal intelligence, round-the-clock experts in hybrid attack defense, full end-to-end coverage, remote response and remediation, adaptability based on customer needs, and managed security policy configuration.
“The reality is enterprises need a combination of endpoint protection solution and network security tools to safeguard against hybrid attacks,” said Gary Ruiz, VP, WW Professional Services at Vectra AI. “Our approach to XDR is unique because not only are we integrating these technologies into one offering but we’re using our AI-driven signal to gather insights across the entire hybrid attack surface to find the real attacks. By adding the services component with Vectra MXDR, we’re introducing that human element to the process to help customers implement and manage this integrated approach.”
Vectra MXDR is designed to alleviate the workload and burnout experienced by SOC teams, providing a more effective approach to hybrid attack defense. The service is available now to current customers.
