Organizations are encouraged to shift to integrated threat protection for three key reasons: first, it allows them to do more with less by consolidating various point solutions, which can reduce operational overhead. Second, it empowers security operations teams to focus on high-value tasks, as integrated solutions can streamline workflows and enhance the capabilities of even junior analysts. Lastly, it increases employee productivity by providing seamless security experiences that do not hinder day-to-day operations.

Integrating SIEM and XDR significantly improves SecOps efficiency by correlating alerts and prioritizing threats, which helps teams manage the overwhelming volume of signals they face. This integration reduces the time to investigate threats by 65% and the time to respond by 88%, allowing security professionals to work more effectively without the need to navigate multiple tools. Additionally, automation features streamline workflows, enabling teams to address threats more proactively.

Adopting an integrated SIEM and XDR solution can lead to significant improvements in employee productivity. For instance, organizations have reported saving nearly 68,000 hours annually due to more efficient security processes. This includes enabling IT professionals to self-serve for security updates and reducing the number of security agents running on employee machines, which minimizes disruptions and allows employees to focus on their core tasks.
