Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration

Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Has improved threat detection and streamlined incident analysis through centralized control and AI-driven insights

People are looking for Cynet because it has next-generation threat protection that detects zero-day threats. It has UEBA (user entity behavior analysis), threat hunting features, and storage device control where we can create profiles and block unauthorized USB storage devices. We can also create threat protection policies to detect malware, ransomware, and many other threats. The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers. Cynet has AI integration which showcases complete forensic data about threats, making it very easy to understand what happened with the system and what type of incident was detected. Autonomous breach protection is a feature of Cynet which can detect and mitigate known and unknown threats based on signatures. If there are any signature-less files, malware, or ransomware, it will detect them based on autonomous breach protection capabilities. The centralized management console provides a dashboard where we can see four types of attack vectors and incident counts in real-time. It continuously scans the radar and shows open alerts related to files, hosts, users, or networks. We can easily export these alerts and send reports via email.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support

The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."

"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."

"It is easy to use."

"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."

"We are protecting all our workstations."

"The product has valuable front-end features."

"The visibility it gives is excellent."

"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."

"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."

"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."

"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."

More Cynet pros

"The solution is stable."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"This is a very costly product."

"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

"In some cases, there are too many options for me, and it is a bit too hard to find some settings which I really need to implement."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

"Managing the product should be easier."

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."

"The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now."

"Previously, we used Cynet, but transitioned to Trend Micro due to the lack of complete SSO services, which were costly."

"Could have better integration with other security applications."

"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved."

"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."

"I think the technical support could be better. When I contacted them, I had to wait a week before getting an answer."

"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."

More Cynet cons

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."

"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The interface is slow."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
