# Unit 42 Managed XSIAM
## 24/7 Expert-Led Defense for Every Attack Surface
End-to-end managed security operations on the #1 SOC transformation platform.
**cortex****unit42****cortex\*\*\*\*cortex**

WHY MANAGED XSIAM?
Modern security teams are confronted with the daunting task of managing intricate security operations amidst the ever-changing cyberthreat landscape.
*
#### Rapidly Expanding Attack Surfaces
70% of attacks now span three or more attack surfaces --- endpoint, cloud, network, identity, email and more --- making it nearly impossible to track adversaries without centralized visibility.
\*
#### Reactive Operations \& Strained Resources
With attacks happening 3x faster, security teams are strained by constantly reacting and having no time to proactively improve their security posture.
\*
#### Disconnected or Outdated Tools
Growing amounts of telemetry and events across disconnected tools require extensive time and expertise to find and stop genuine threats.
Unit 42^®^ Managed XSIAM eliminates these hurdles by unifying data, automating detection and response, and deploying elite cyber expertise --- helping your team stop attacks before damage is done.

With Unit 42's deep knowledge of Cortex XSIAM, world-class security experts will continually monitor your environment for sophisticated threats 24/7/365.
*** ** * ** ***
### Why Choose Unit 42 Managed XSIAM?
Unit 42 Managed XSIAM is built around five connected capabilities that continuously reinforce each other to keep your organization protected and your SOC evolving. From Zero-Touch Data Onboarding to Automation-Fueled Expert Response, each stage flows naturally into the next --- forming an ongoing, adaptive defense cycle.
*
#### See Everything: Zero-Touch Data Onboarding and Maintenance
Attain holistic visibility across 1K+ native and third-party integrations with zero-touch data onboarding. Unit 42 continuously handles ingestion, mapping and maintenance, enabling security teams to stay focused on proactive defense rather than administrative overhead, for a truly unified SOC vantage point.
\*
#### Stop Attacks: 24/7 Protection for All Attack Surfaces
Unit 42 counters adversaries across endpoints, cloud, network and identity using thousands of dynamic detectors and AI models, ensuring real-time identification and containment of threats. No domain is overlooked, delivering always-on protection against modern attacks.
\*
#### Hunt Proactively: Intelligence-Driven Threat Hunting
Drawing on 500B+ daily events and 30M+ daily malware samples, Unit 42's elite hunters pinpoint emerging tactics early. Intelligence from thousands of incidents refines detection logic to reduce attacker dwell time, ensuring threats are found before they evolve into major breaches.
\*
#### Adapt Detections: Custom Detection Engineering for Your Environment
When new threats arise, Unit 42 rapidly crafts custom detectors that expand beyond built-in XSIAM protections, achieving up to 2X faster mean time to detect. This agile approach turns minor alerts into immediate action items, preventing hidden attackers from escalating damage.
\*
#### Respond Faster: Automation-Fueled Expert Response
Unit 42 deploys advanced, automation-first playbooks across your ecosystem, slashing median time to response from days to mere minutes. By containing critical incidents instantly, your security operation gains valuable breathing room to focus on proactive measures rather than emergency triage.
