As cyber threats evolve into an increasingly automated and sophisticated battleground, OpenText has launched its next-generation OpenText Cybersecurity Cloud, featuring the AI-powered OpenText Core Threat Detection and Response. Announced today, this cutting-edge solution is designed to process billions of machine-generated events, seamlessly integrate with existing security stacks, and bolster enterprise security defenses—especially for organizations leveraging Microsoft Security tools.
AI at the Core of Next-Gen Threat Defense
Available through OpenText Cloud Editions 25.2 and hosted on Microsoft Azure, OpenText Core Threat Detection and Response taps into the power of artificial intelligence to enable proactive threat hunting, detection, and rapid response. The solution integrates deeply with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Entra ID, and Microsoft Security Copilot, offering organizations a fortified shield against modern attack vectors.
Additionally, OpenText’s threat integration studio provides businesses with the flexibility to ingest telemetry from diverse security tools, applications, and enterprise technologies. This holistic approach ensures that security teams have a unified view of potential threats, reducing response time and mitigating attack surfaces more effectively.
Addressing the Rising Cost of Insider Threats
While external threats frequently dominate cybersecurity discussions, insider threats remain a persistent and costly risk. According to the 2023 Cost of Insider Risks Global Report by Ponemon and Sullivan, such incidents now cost organizations an average of $16.2 million annually. Many of these threats stem from compromised credentials, accidental data exposure, or malicious insiders.
Compounding the issue is the global cybersecurity talent shortage, leaving many enterprises vulnerable due to a lack of proactive detection measures. OpenText’s AI-driven approach aims to bridge this gap by automating threat analysis and response, reducing the burden on security teams while improving detection accuracy.
A Modular XDR Approach for Maximum Flexibility
One of OpenText’s key differentiators is its open extended detection and response (XDR) architecture, which allows businesses to integrate the platform with their existing security investments. This adaptability ensures that enterprises don’t have to undergo costly and complex security stack overhauls to leverage AI-powered threat intelligence.
Muhi Majzoub, OpenText EVP, Security Products, emphasized the solution’s flexibility:
"Enterprises need a way to continuously adapt threat analysis to the unique behaviors of their organization without further straining security teams. 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."
Majzoub also highlighted OpenText’s strategy to integrate threat detection solutions with OpenText Content Management, offering security teams insights across applications, endpoints, and networks.
