**Vectra AI Platform – Advanced AI Security (MXDR/XDR)
Vectra AI Platform is an AI-powered cybersecurity platform designed to protect modern networks from sophisticated attacks. It delivers integrated signal for extended detection and response (XDR) across network, identity, and cloud environments, enabling security teams to Detect, Prioritize, Investigate, and Respond to threats in real time. The platform emphasizes reducing alert fatigue and accelerating incident response through AI-driven detections, attack signal intelligence, and unified workflows.
How Vectra AI Works
- Ingests and normalizes data across networks, identities, and cloud services (including Cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments).
- Applies AI-driven detections to identify attacks in progress (e.g., account takeover, ransomware, APTs, data breaches, supply chain attacks).
- Correlates signals to prioritize investigations and reduce analyst workload.
- Supports incident response workflows with integrated triage, investigation, and remediation capabilities.
- Provides integrations with major platforms and services (Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365, Copilot, and more).
What It Detects
- Account Takeover
- Ransomware
- Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)
- Data Breach
- Supply Chain Attacks
- Nation-State Attacks
- Emerging Attack Methods (Zero-day exploits, spear phishing, MFA bypass, credential stuffing, living off the land)
- Attacks across Industries and OT/Industrial environments
Use Cases
- SOC Modernization
- SIEM Optimization
- IDS Replacement
- EDR Extension
- Cyber Resilience
- Cloud Identity Protection
- Cloud Control Plane Protection
- Cloud Posture Improvement
- Risk Management (including Critical Infrastructure, OT, Remote Workforce)
Industries Served
- Banking & Finance
- Government & Federal
- Telecommunications
- Manufacturing
- Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare
- Energy & Utilities
- Higher Education
- Real Estate & Retail
- and more
Platform Capabilities
- End-to-end detection, triage, investigation, and response across networks, identities, and clouds
- AI-driven threat intelligence with real-time attack signal analysis
- MXDR/MDR managed detection and response services
- Integrations with major cloud and identity providers for unified defense
- High-fidelity detections with reduced alert noise (enhanced signal-to-noise ratio)
- Flexible deployment across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments
Why It Matters
- Stop attacks faster (faster detection and response)
- Reduce analyst workload and alert fatigue
- Improve visibility across multi-domain environments
- Strengthen security posture for critical infrastructure and hybrid work environments
How to Use Vectra AI Platform
- Connect data sources: Network sensors, identity sources (e.g., Active Directory, Entra ID), and cloud accounts (AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365).
- Enable AI-driven detections: Let the platform analyze in real time to surface compromised activity.
- Investigate and Respond: Use prioritized alerts to investigate incidents and orchestrate containment and remediation.
- Leverage MXDR services (optional): Rely on managed extended detection and response for ongoing threat hunting and response.
Outcomes and Metrics
- 90%+ MITRE ATT&CK coverage
- 80%+ reduction in alert fatigue
- 38x lighter analyst workload (relative efficiency gains)
- 99% faster detection/containment in practical scenarios (as claimed in customer references)
How It Stands Out
- AI-based detections across networks, identities, and clouds in a single platform
- Integrated, end-to-end detection-to-response workflow
- Strong industry recognition and customer acclaim for threat detection and response efficiency
Core Features
- Unified AI-driven detection across networks, identities, and clouds
- Extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities with attack signal intelligence
- In-depth investigation and rapid response workflows
- No separate silos: one platform for Network, Identity, and Cloud security
- Managed XDR/MDR options (MXDR) for ongoing threat hunting and response
- Rich integrations with AD/Entra ID, AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365, Copilot, and more
- High fidelity detections with reduced noise and improved analyst productivity
- Industry and use-case focused detections (Ransomware, APTs, Account Takeover, etc.)
- Appeals to multiple industries including critical infrastructure and government
