OH YOU HAVE, HAVE YOU? Are you flagging dictionary words? You…

Cisco XDR has always been predicated on the knowledge that every customer and every SOC is different.

If a technology your team relies on isn’t supported out-of-the-box in Cisco XDR, that can be addressed by the vendor of that product, or even yourself. If software development was easy, everyone would do it. This is…
