Modern security operations face a critical challenge: the time from initial compromise to data exfiltration has shrunk to just 72 minutes. This solution brief details how the integration of Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager with Cortex XDR and Cortex XSIAM creates a unified defense-in-depth architecture. By replacing standing administrative rights with intelligent, policy-based elevation, organizations can neutralize lateral movement while maintaining seamless user productivity. Discover how granular, identity-based response options allow security teams to contain threats in real-time through surgical privilege restrictions—avoiding the business disruption of full-machine isolation. This proactive approach hardens every endpoint, shrinks the endpoint attack surface, and ensures that security fuels rather than hinders enterprise innovation.
