Over the last 12 months Forrester has published several security Wave reports covering solutions for endpoint protection/EDR as well as XDR. Read on to see a summary of Cortex XDR results in the The Forrester WaveTM: Endpoint Detection and Response Providers Q2 2022, The Forrester WaveTM: Endpoint Security Software as a Service, Q2 2021, The Forrester New WaveTM: Extended Detection and Response (XDR) Providers, Q4 2021 reports as well as in the real-world attack simulations results of the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations.
Cortex XDR was rated as a Strong Performer and received the highest possible ratings in the criteria of Endpoint Telemetry, Detection Capabilities and Extended Capabilities
"With XDR as its North Star, Palo Alto [Networks] has catapulted the capabilities of its EDR offering over the past two years." and
“It has successfully energized its product team, with customer references praising Palo Alto [Networks’] engagement with them, especially its willingness to develop specialized product features to address industry- and customer-specific use cases.”
Cortex XDR was rated as a Leader. Among other results, Cortex XDR here had the highest possible ratings in the endpoint protection and detection criteria. Notes on Cortex XDR included:
Cortex XDR was rated as a Strong Performer, with only two vendors receiving a Leader rating.
“[Cortex XDR] Offers a strong combination of native endpoint, network, and cloud ingestion. Cortex XDR delivers unified detection and investigation for native endpoint, network, and cloud telemetry as well as third-party sources.”
MITRE ATT&CK evaluations rigorously test and evaluate products by emulating real-world attacks and their tactics, techniques and procedures. The “Round 4” evaluation results were published on March 31, 2022. As in previous rounds, Cortex XDR achieved outstanding results, with stronger results than most other participating vendors across the evaluated categories. Cortex XDR Round 4 results included:
Cortex XDR provided over 98% visibility into all malicious activity and enriched this data with the necessary incident context to precisely identify the tactic, technique and sub-technique being used. Importantly, this resulted in the MITRE Engenuity team recognizing 100% of XDR’s visibility as technique-level detections – the most valuable detection type in this evaluation.

Whether you are evaluating solutions for EDR or the wider scope of full XDR, endpoint telemetry and detection capabilities are fundamental to your decision. These and other reports and evaluations consistently show that you can rely on Cortex XDR’s superior endpoint protection, detection and rich telemetry intelligence to ensure your security.
