FireEye, Inc., the intelligence-led security solutions company, has introduced FireEye XDR, a unified platform, designed to help security operations teams to strengthen threat detection, accelerate response capabilities and simplify investigations.

FireEye XDR platform

The FireEye XDR platform provides native security protections for endpoint, network, email, and the Cloud, with a focus on improving organizations’ capabilities, for controlling incidents from detection to response.

FireEye Helix unifies the security operations platform, by providing next-generation security incident and event management (SIEM), security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR), and correlation capabilities, along with threat intelligence powered by Mandiant.

Our XDR platform translates insight to action across more than 600 security technologies"

Our superior knowledge of threats and the adversary is unmatched. Hands down, I believe we manage the best XDR platform in business, by integrating threat intelligence into an advanced detection engine, which is delivered centrally and extensibly via the Cloud,” said Bryan Palma, the Executive Vice President (EVP) of FireEye Products.

Bryan adds, “Our XDR platform translates insight to action across more than 600 security technologies. FireEye XDR furthers our mission to relentlessly protect our customers.

FireEye’s Helix native cloud design

FireEye’s Helix native cloud design provides an improved analyst experience, allowing for the seamless integration of disparate security tools, regardless of vendor or data source.

FireEye’s XDR platform is best suited for enterprise and mid-market security operations teams, which are increasingly at risk from cyber-attacks, due to an array of factors, including the sophistication of threats, sub-optimal security tool management, and personnel shortages.

Enhanced endpoint cloud capabilities

Over the next few quarters, the FireEye products business plans to introduce new features to the FireEye XDR platform, including enhanced endpoint cloud capabilities, FireEye Helix upgraded dashboards and threat graphing capabilities, additional support for leading third-party security tools, and continued integration with the Mandiant Advantage platform, which includes Automated Defense.

Forward-thinking security and risk leaders are looking to defend their enterprises in ways that can reduce complexity and upfront investment, while at the same time speeding the time it takes to detect and respond to pervasive threats,” said Jon Oltsik, Senior Principal Analyst and ESG Fellow, adding “Leveraging an approach to XDR built on threat intelligence can help security leaders improve efficacy and avoid becoming the next headline.”
