Vectra AI Launches Global, 24x7 Open MXDR Service Built to Defend Against Hybrid Attacks

PRESS RELEASE

San Jose, Calif. – February 15, 2024 - Vectra AI, Inc., the leader in hybrid attack detection, investigation and response, today announced the launch of Vectra MXDR (Managed Extended Detection and Response) services, the industry's first global, 24x7 open MXDR service built to defend against hybrid attacks. This comprehensive offering eliminates silos to provide hybrid attack surface visibility across identity, public cloud, SaaS, data center and cloud networks and endpoints via integrations with leading EDR vendors.

The shift to hybrid and multi-cloud environments means all enterprises are now hybrid enterprises and all modern attacks are hybrid attacks. This has rendered legacy threat detection and response solutions ineffective at defending against the new threat landscape, heightening the need for threat detection coverage across the expanding hybrid attack surface. However, deploying various detection solutions has led to siloed tools and rule sprawl, causing an unmanageable alert volume for SOC leaders. Recent research indicates SOC teams are spending nearly four hours daily on manual alert triage. This influx has resulted in excessive workload, burnout, and high turnover among SOC analysts. As teams grapple with this, attackers continue to exploit complexity, latency, and noise to move laterally, progress attacks, and exfiltrate data undetected. SOC teams need accurate signal at speed and scale to stop modern hybrid attacks from becoming breaches.

With Vectra MXDR, enterprises can consolidate every aspect of threat detection and response in one unified service, eliminating the need for multiple providers. Integrations with the industry’s leading EDR platforms, including CrowdStrike, SentinelOne and Microsoft Defender, enable Vectra AI’s MXDR analysts to monitor the health of an entire security system and take direct action no matter where the signal comes from.

“Following the launch of our Vectra AI Platform last year, we recognized that our customers who are outsourcing these services need a comprehensive platform and access to MXDR specialists who are dedicated to investigating malicious activity,” said Hitesh Sheth, President and CEO of Vectra AI. “With the launch of Vectra MXDR, we’re offering our customers access to the most seasoned experts in hybrid attack defense along with the most accurate AI-driven signal on the market today to help manage their growing workloads and alleviate the burnout they are experiencing.”

Vectra MXDR arms SOC leaders, security analysts and architects with complete coverage, clarity and control across the entire hybrid attack surface. Benefits include:

“The reality is enterprises need a combination of endpoint protection solution and network security tools to safeguard against hybrid attacks,” said Gary Ruiz, VP, WW Professional Services at Vectra AI. “Our approach to XDR is unique because not only are we integrating these technologies into one offering but we’re using our AI-driven signal to gather insights across the entire hybrid attack surface to find the real attacks. By adding the services component with Vectra MXDR, we’re introducing that human element to the process to help customers implement and manage this integrated approach. Our experts are monitoring around the clock and helping customers deal with incidents by responding and remediating them on their behalf, which significantly reduces workloads for SOC teams. It really allows us to be a lot more effective for our customers.”

Vectra MXDR is available now to current customers.
