Great blog about Cisco Threat Response. As a longtime Cisco partner, who must sell other products from other vendors to make ends meet, it is refreshing to see Cisco lead the industry in security integrations and provide true visibility across all security vectors, security analytics and actual response actions, without the need to pay a premium for things like log storage or being limited by certain product categories. Our customers have already paid for the best-of-breed products and licensing, so why pay a second time to use them correctly – the fact that Cisco Threat Response is free is an example of great leadership and giving back to the cyber community, helping to keep everyone safer from threats.

Recent announcements of things like XDR have made it clear that Cisco is a long way ahead of the typical pack of security vendors by providing this kind of (XDR+++) capability across all security sensors in the network and in the cloud including NGFW/NGIPS, Endpoint Detection/Response, Threat Investigation, Behavioral Analytics, Email security, SIG and recursive DNS without having to be limited by the scope of only endpoint and firewalls.

Add the already massive customer base and history of success, increases the value to our joint customers tremendously, having war stories and other people to talk with already having great success with Threat Response. The fact that Talos provides the Threat Intelligence makes it kind of a no-brainer who rules this space. No one can do what Talos does. And now no one brings together as much enriched and actionable information for the Security Practitioner as Cisco!

Keep up the good work and excited about the roadmap!
