Cortex XDR® accomplished an unprecedented feat — 100% detection with technique-level detail. Technique-level detections are the highest quality detections possible in the MITRE test, revealing what happened in an attack and how it unfolded in your environment, providing security analysts with the key information needed to stop a breach.
Crucially, Cortex XDR achieved this result without any configuration changes or delays, detecting each step of the attack in real time with no manual intervention—a stark contrast to two-thirds of vendors who detected less than 50% of the attack steps, underscoring the heightened rigor of this year’s evaluation.
MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations test both detection — identifying threats after initial access — and prevention, which allows vendors to block attacks before they can cause damage. This is the essence of real-world endpoint security: prevent as much as you can and then detect everything else as quickly as possible. Cortex XDR excelled at both.
In Round 6, Cortex XDR prevented 8/10 attack steps, with zero false positives. Vendors with false positives risk halting critical business processes, potentially causing massive financial impact. Cortex XDR demonstrated an unmatched combination effectiveness and accuracy — the ideal endpoint security for the world’s largest and most demanding organizations.
Combining the Detection and Prevention scenarios into a single view of complete attack coverage in this year’s evaluation, Cortex XDR delivered unmatched results among the industry's market-share leaders in Endpoint Security. Powered by world-class research and advanced AI-driven prevention and detection, Cortex XDR provides the best security outcomes at enterprise scale enabling security teams to outpace adversary tactics and techniques.
