SIEM alternative for mid-sized companies: incidents instead of alert floods
A traditional SIEM collects everything and leaves the analysis to large teams with laboriously maintained rules. For many mid-sized companies, that is too expensive and too staff-intensive. XMfortress Detect takes a different approach.

Where traditional SIEMs reach their limits
- Cost: licensing by data volume makes every additional source expensive.
- Staff: rule sets need constant maintenance, and alerts must be reviewed manually.
- Alert floods: thousands of events per day, few of them relevant.
- Big picture: management lacks an understandable view.
The XMfortress Detect approach
XMfortress Detect normalizes signals from firewall, endpoint, identity and cloud and uses AI correlation to automatically group related events into incidents. A brute-force attempt on 200 endpoints appears as one incident, not 200 alerts. Each incident carries a severity, a confidence level and a recommended next step.
From detection to response
With XMfortress Respond, detected attacks can be contained within a defined policy: isolate, redirect to honeypots or lock accounts – with approval or automatically, always logged and reversible.
Operations: in-house or with a partner
Detect is designed so that a focused team of 2 to 10 people can realistically run a SOC. Managed security service providers can serve multiple tenants separately on one platform.
