Cyber threats are more sophisticated and relentless than ever. Businesses face a growing challenge – how to detect and respond to threats quickly enough to prevent damage. Traditional endpoint security measures based on threat intelligence and indicators of compromise are no longer sufficient against advanced attacks such as ransomware, zero-day exploits, and persistent threats.
The problem is clear – many organizations lack the in-house expertise, resources, and 24/7 monitoring capabilities needed to combat these dangers effectively. This is where OpenText Managed Extended Detection and Response (MxDR) comes in. By combining human expertise with cutting-edge technology, MxDR services provide proactive threat detection, investigation, and response, ensuring businesses stay one step ahead of attackers.

Today, we are excited to announce two significant updates – the release of the new version of the OpenText MxDR Agent and the availability of the OpenText MxDR Advanced EDR Agent, powered by our partnership with SentinelOne.
