Managed threat detection efficiently with minimal resource usage
We used the solution as a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. It detected threats, and the team managing our services took care of it. We did not face any major challenges or attacks, and memory utilization was minimal. It functioned very well Cynet was valuable since it efficiently…

Easy to setup, but limited in its ability to create customized detection rules
Initially, we found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules. This functionality, available in the Cortex XDR platform, wasn't present then. While there might have been changes since then, during our usage, we couldn't easily import or send Syslog data to the platform and could not create custom parsing rules for data recognition and correlation rule alerts. The query builder's functionality could have been more robust, forcing us to create broader exclusions than desired, resulting in a visibility gap due to the inability to make more granular exclusions within the query builder.
