OpenText announced OpenText Core Threat Detection and Response, a new
AI-powered cybersecurity solution for threat detection to be generally
availability with Cloud Editions 25.2.  OpenText has greatly expanded its
Cybersecurity portfolio in recent years, and its next generation of innovation
is centered on enabling enterprises with world-class threat hunting, detection
and response capabilities.  Protecting against threats both inside and
outside an organization, OpenText is dedicated to helping organizations gain
the strongest defense postures possible, in a machine-to-machine attack world.

OpenText Core Threat
Detection and Response will be available on Microsoft Azure.  The solution
is deeply integrated with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Entra ID,
and Microsoft Security Copilot to empower organizations to stop attacks quickly
and efficiently before damage occurs.  Furthermore, OpenText has a threat
integration studio that allows customers to integrate and ingest telemetry from
other network solutions, applications, security tools, and enterprise
technologies into OpenText Core Threat Detection and Response.

OpenText Cybersecurity
Cloud tackles a wide range of security challenges, from application and data
protection to identity and access management, security operations, and digital
forensics.  As a recognized leader in cybersecurity with over 7,500 global
enterprise customers, OpenText delivers cutting-edge solutions that safeguard
organizations of all sizes. 

While external threats
often dominate security strategies, insider threats – whether intentional,
accidental, or due to stolen credentials – remain a costly and persistent
danger.  Often evading detection and causing significant damage,
insider-related incidents now cost organizations an average of $16.2 million
annually, according to the 2023 Cost of Insider Risks Global Report by Ponemon and
Sullivan
.  Cybersecurity
talent shortages have worsened the issue, leaving many organizations exposed
without proactive detection measures. OpenText Core Threat Detection and
Response, combined with OpenText’s threat hunting services and integration
toolkits, meets this challenge headfirst.

“Enterprises need a
way to continuously adapt threat analysis to the unique behaviors of their
organization without further straining security teams,” said Muhi Majzoub,
OpenText EVP, Security Products. “OpenText Cybersecurity Cloud represents
a significant leap forward in advanced threat detection and investigation,
offering a solution that is easy to use, implement, and maintain.  Our
composable open XDR architecture ensures that the solution can easily work with
existing security tools customers may have for identity management, data loss
prevention, or endpoint protection.  We are also integrating our threat
detection solutions with OpenText Content Management through easy integration
kits to provide customers insights across applications, endpoints, and
networks. This is part of our broader strategy to deliver holistic security
solutions that protect the entire attack surface.”

In summary, OpenText
Core Threat Detection and Response delivers:

  • Elevated
    Security Posture: Uses hundreds of AI algorithms to dramatically enhance
    detection capability and accuracy, helping organizations to improve their
    security posture without the need for complex security stack overhauls.
  • Rapid
    Detection and Elimination: Advanced anomaly detection that dynamically
    adapts to changes in operating environments and ensures contextually
    relevant threat detection. With multi-cloud integrations, OpenText’s
    automatic correlation of anomalies significantly reduces the time needed
    to uncover critical threats.
  • Adaptive
    Learning: Powered by advanced machine learning models, the platform
    continuously evolves with each organization’s unique environment and
    insider threat landscape, improving detection accuracy over time.
  • Simplified
    Deployment: This composable solution seamlessly integrates with Microsoft
    and other cybersecurity tools, reducing setup time and delivering
    immediate value. The built-in Cybersecurity Aviator translates
    AI-generated threat detection insights and alerts into plain language for
    SOC analysts, enabling faster preventative actions.
  • Cost
    Prevention and ROI: The solution proactively hunts for threats to help
    organizations reduce their potential exposure to multi-million-dollar
    incidents. Also, working alongside other security tools, this solution
    aims to maximize the value and ROI of prior investments for customers.
