CylanceGUARD

CylanceGUARD® is a subscription-based 24x7 Managed Extended Detection and Response (XDR) service. Our expert analysts act as an extension of your team, correlating telemetry across devices and providing actionable intelligence to prevent threats quickly while minimizing alert fatigue.

Augmented Threat Prevention, Detection and Response Cybersecurity

CylanceGUARD Managed XDR allows you to focus on key security initiatives rather than spending time and resources attempting to make sense of data, triaging alerts, or recovering from attacks.

Holistic Telemetry Beyond Endpoints
Cyberattacks come from everywhere—putting your entire organization at risk. CylanceGUARD empowers cross-tool threat hunting by correlating integrated data from CylancePROTECT®, CylanceOPTICS®, CylancePERSONA, and CylanceGATEWAY with data from third-party vendors’ desktop, mobile, servers, users, and networks.
Deep Expertise and Threat Prevention Experts
Bad actors are opportunistic and don’t respect office hours. An attack may be launched at any time. CylanceGUARD analysts provide 24x7x365 protection and multi-regional compliance support, monitoring environments and responding as needed.
Eradicate Threats with Threat Intelligence
It’s tough keeping up with ever-changing threats. Our AI-enhanced analytics platform along with our skilled analysts apply human context to alerts and threat vectors gathered from all endpoint feeds—including email, server, cloud, and network sources—to detect, respond and eradicate threats.
