Cisco TrustSec vs. Cisco XDR

• Control access to critical enterprise resources by business role, device type, and location, so policy changes can be made without redesigning the network.
• Easily manage access control and segmentation while maintaining compliance.
• Create and manage policies in an easy-to-use matrix.
• Reduce the need for costly network re-architecture by automating firewall rules and access control list (ACL) administration.

I enjoy how well it integrates Cisco systems to provide a single pane of glass for security events that are easily digestible to the SOC. However there is room for improvement to integrate more seamlessly with non Cisco products. XDR is great to identify where malicious processes are in the MITR kill chain and is useful for threat analysis.

Incentivized

• Reduce operational expenses by simplifying network segmentation and defining security groups based on business roles, not IP addresses.
• Limit the impact of a data breach by quickly isolating and containing threats using technology already in your network.

Incentivized

• Providing visibility for threat risks
• Detecting holes in the network that have vulnerabilites
• Flagging ddos events and kicking off an incident response

Incentivized

• Help and solutions if needed, support

Incentivized

• XDR can improve with more integrations
• XDR can be improved with more programmability for the end user
• XDR can be improved with more options to mitigate events

While both products were both easy to use and would have fit our environment, we are a very heavy Cisco shop and Cisco Cisco XDR fit better with the rest of our software portfolio. Stellar Cyber has some additional functionality in addition to Cisco XDR but the cost difference didn't work with our budget.

Incentivized

• Reduction in IT operational costs

Incentivized

• It has reduced the number of tools we have had to budget for.
• We were able to replace a third part MDR service with Cisco XDR
