Security teams are dealing with massive data growth, siloed tools, and constant alert fatigue. All of this makes it harder to detect and respond to threats. AI has become a key part of the solution, but its effectiveness depends on having access to complete, high-quality data.

To address the challenge, we’ll explore how Cortex XSIAM’s new integration with Cribl combines AI-powered security operations with flexible data management.

The Power of AI-Driven Security

Cortex XSIAM transforms security operations through AI and automation. With this new integration, Cribl helps ensure that users can flexibly ingest and route third-party security data across their environments to Cortex XSIAM. Getting the most precise and enriched data into Cortex XSIAM improves the ability to detect and mitigate threats in real-time.

In today’s fast-changing security landscape, combined with relentless telemetry data growth, organizations need smarter, more efficient security operations centers to keep up. The only way to make that happen is by pairing powerful AI with the right data to fuel it. That is exactly what this partnership with Cribl delivers: greater visibility, full control over security data, and stronger protection across the board.

This modern approach sets a new standard for security operations, combining AI-driven security with flexible data management to enable customers to cut their incident remediation from weeks to just a few short minutes. —Pam Cyr, Vice President of Technical Partnerships at Palo Alto Networks

Streamline Data Onboarding

Organizations can now unlock the full potential of their SOC by streamlining data onboarding. Cribl enables seamless telemetry data collection from diverse sources and minimizes time spent on data routing and source onboarding to allow teams to focus on higher-value tasks, such as threat investigation and incident response.

With access to a broad range of data sources, organizations can identify threats more accurately and quickly, and have a more comprehensive view of their security posture. And as the volume, variety, and varying value of data continue to increase, Cribl’s solutions are designed to scale with these growing needs to ensure continued operational effectiveness.

Simplify Proof of Concepts (POC) and SOC Transformations

Staying ahead of emerging threats means organizations need to quickly evaluate and deploy new solutions. With Cribl, teams can easily onboard third-party data sources and streamline the rollout of Cortex XSIAM, which can help reduce deployment time and accelerate time-to-value. Routing data into Cortex XSIAM without disrupting existing workflows lets teams see its impact right away, without a heavy lift.

As more and more organizations look to move to industry-leading platforms, they no longer face the risk of losing critical data. Cribl’s data processing capabilities enable a seamless transition, maintaining full data context and operational efficiency.

“Deloitte’s security clients are navigating an unprecedented volume of data and increasingly sophisticated threats – challenges that legacy solutions can no longer address effectively,” said Kevin Urbanowicz, Managing Director and Security Operations leader at Deloitte & Touche LLP.

Our team is at the forefront of driving strategic SOC transformation for our customers, helping them reimagine their operations with new technologies to secure the modern enterprise to meet the pace of today’s threat landscape. By enriching Cortex XSIAM’s AI-driven models with Cribl’s broad, actionable data, we are able to provide an end-to-end solution that enables our customers to modernize their SOC and achieve their cybersecurity goals faster.
