Security teams are overwhelmed by alert fatigue, visibility gaps and outdated tools. Point-in-time scans miss critical threats. Manual investigations take hours. And when a breach hits, it’s already too late.

That’s where cloud detection and response (CDR) comes in—an emerging toolset designed to prevent cloud attacks, surface real-time threats, and automate response across your multi-cloud environment.

To help you understand what CDR is, why it matters, and how to make the most of it, we created The Essential Guide to CDR—a practical resource for security leaders and practitioners alike.

Who Should Read This?

  • Cloud security teams who want real-time security to prevent threats.
  • SOC teams looking to automate remediation and accelerate response.
  • CISOs who require clear business value and ROI from CDR.

What You’ll Learn

  • Must-have capabilities to look for in a CDR solution.
  • How Cortex CDR helps prevent threats with the best-in-class, lightweight agent.
  • The impact of CDR on your business: fewer breaches, quicker response times and more efficient use of resources.

Equip your security teams with the knowledge and tools they need to prevent, detect and respond to cloud threats fast.
