MITRE Round 2 Results Solidify Cortex XDR as a Leader in EDR

As threat actor techniques continue to get more targeted and sophisticated, there is more pressure than ever on detection and response vendors to continually test and improve detection methods. The MITRE ATT&CK evaluations were created to test the detection capabilities of leading endpoint security vendors by emulating the real-world attack sequences of sophisticated advanced persistent threat (APT) groups from around the world. 


In Round 2 of the MITRE ATT&CK evaluations, Cortex XDR was put to the test once again, this time against the tactics and techniques that have been leveraged by the threat actor group known as APT29 aka Cozy Bear, who are known for their stealthy, sophisticated and highly customized attacks. The evaluation involved two complete attack scenarios leveraging 58 unique techniques from the MITRE ATT&CK Framework. We are proud to announce that no other vendor achieved higher attack technique coverage than Cortex XDR in this evaluation with the powerful combination of automated product detections and enrichment from the Cortex XDR Managed Threat Hunting service.*



The results of this round emphasize the consistent best-in-class threat detection capabilities of Cortex XDR, which were demonstrated in the recent NSS AEP test and the 2019 MITRE APT3 evaluation. In the 2020 MITRE APT29 Evaluation, Cortex XDR was at the front of the pack both in the number of detections and in the specificity and accuracy of those detections compared to the 20 other endpoint detection and response products tested. To complement our strong performance in a ..
