XDR & Security OperationsCisco XDR
Extended detection and response that correlates across endpoint, network, cloud, email, and identity.
Cisco XDR unifies telemetry from endpoint, network, cloud, email, and identity — Cisco and third-party — into security analytics that correlate weak signals into prioritised incidents, then drives investigation and response with built-in, low-to-no-code automation. Backed by Talos threat intelligence and a broad integration ecosystem, it turns disconnected alerts into decisive action. Faltrox operates it as the core of managed detection and response.
Overview
What Cisco XDR is
Security teams drown in alerts from disconnected tools and struggle to see the whole attack. Cisco XDR conducts truly extended detection and response by ingesting telemetry across control domains — endpoint, network, cloud, email, and identity, from Cisco and hundreds of third-party sources — and correlating it into prioritised incidents with the asset context needed to act.
Security analytics and correlation surface the real incidents; incident prioritisation cuts through the noise; and built-in automation with low-to-no-code customisation and a workflow exchange accelerates response. It adds threat hunting and investigation, digital forensics and incident response, and is enriched by Cisco Talos threat intelligence. It integrates with identity, cloud, email, NDR, firewall, SIEM, and ITSM tools, and can be delivered as Cisco Managed XDR. Faltrox runs it as the correlation-and-response core of the SOC it operates for you.

How it works
The mechanism
How the product moves from signal to protected state, step by step.
- 01
Ingest
Telemetry is ingested across endpoint, network, cloud, email, and identity from Cisco and third-party sources.
- 02
Correlate
Security analytics correlate weak signals across domains, adding asset context, into prioritised incidents.
- 03
Prioritise
Incident prioritisation ranks what matters, cutting through alert noise so analysts focus on real threats.
- 04
Automate & Respond
Built-in low-to-no-code automation workflows and a workflow exchange accelerate investigation and response.
- 05
Operate
Faltrox runs the correlation, hunting, and response, with Cisco Managed XDR as an option, as the core of the SOC.

Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Cisco Cisco XDR for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.
FAQ
Common questions
01What makes it "extended" detection and response?
It correlates telemetry across multiple control domains — endpoint, network, cloud, email, and identity — rather than just the endpoint, from Cisco and hundreds of third-party sources. That cross-domain correlation is what lets it see a whole attack that individual tools only glimpse in part.
02Does it only work with Cisco products?
No — a broad integration ecosystem ingests telemetry and drives response across many third-party tools (identity, cloud, email, NDR, firewall, SIEM, ITSM), so Cisco XDR can be the correlation layer over a mixed-vendor stack, not just a Cisco one.
03How does it help with alert overload?
Security analytics correlate weak signals into incidents, and incident prioritisation ranks them by risk with asset context — so instead of triaging thousands of raw alerts, analysts work a small number of prioritised incidents. Built-in automation then speeds the response.
04Do we need our own analysts to run it?
Not necessarily — Cisco offers Managed XDR and a Talos Incident Response retainer, and Faltrox operates Cisco XDR as the core of the managed SOC we run for you, so you get the outcomes without staffing the operation.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We run the correlation, tune detections and automation workflows, conduct threat hunting, and drive investigation and response — using Cisco XDR as the detection-and-response backbone of the SOC services we deliver.
