Cybersecurity Architect at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
Unified security monitoring has simplified incident response and improved automated threat handling
The firewall side can make some improvements. I know the firewall on Cortex XSIAM is based on Windows. From what I have experienced so far, I have seen that the policies you can create are actually very in-depth. I mean, you can do most of the things and a lot of integration that you actually want. So if I want to choose to send things to WildFire, for example, I can choose to send it, I can choose to not send it. This basically offers flexibility to implement Cortex XSIAM in more standardized places where you maybe have a certification. I would say that the thing that maybe needs a bit more improvement is the fact that the one with the firewall because I have seen some things there that are kind of hard to manage. You do not really have a very easy way to manage those, unless you actually know where you have put them. So it is very inflexible. In the rest, you have a lot of playbooks that you can do and you can do lots of automation, which is actually easy to manage from what I have seen from my colleagues.

User-friendly interface has improved threat detection through real-time analytics and AI advancements
They are very updated. Their customer responses are great, and they keep using the new AI tools to keep themselves at the edge of the game. This is very helpful because there are many false positives which keep cropping up, and one of the things that Securonix Next-Gen SIEM does very well is ensuring they don't give attention to false positives. They don't take attention away from the real problems and reduce a lot of noise. We look forward to more developments from Securonix Next-Gen SIEM in terms of their service turnaround times and staying connected with customers.
