Security and Performance Issues, Handled: The Efficiency Power of Cato XOps

Imagine Your Undersized Team Has Just Missed That One, Critical Alert Among Millions

You’re an IT professional whose teams manage network and security. They face millions of alerts each day, from threat detections to access anomalies and from connection failures to latency spikes. Your costs are high: it’s been hard to scale your team to cope with the growing volume of events.  But the stakes are also high. Miss the wrong operational alert and your network team gets swamped with tickets. Miss the wrong security alert and your whole business is exposed. With this volume of events, how do your overworked teams know what really matters? How do they know what demands attention right now.  How do they cope with the volume of work? 

Manual Monitoring? Not Scalable.  

Sure, your teams can try to investigate every alert manually. But that’s slow, error-prone, and unsustainable. Sifting through logs and dashboards doesn’t scale because even mid-size organizations can generate millions of events per day. You either hire endlessly, or you miss things. 

This is Where AI Steps In.  

AI helps make sense of the noise. It correlates related events across users, devices, and locations. It turns fragmented alerts into coherent Stories with full context and a clear risk score. For security teams, AI underpins XDR to help highlight the threats worth investigating and give analysts what they need, to act fast and accurately. 

But it’s Not Just about Security.  

Your team has to keep the network fast and reliable, too: spotting dropped links, congestion and application issues. Ideally, it means predicting issues before users feel them, so they don’t tie your team down with tickets.  For network and operational teams, AI also underpins AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) in a similar way. 

Here’s the Problem. Many vendors offer XDR and AIOps, but not within a single platform. The need to normalize events and signals from multiple sources creates a loss of data and shared context, leading to blind spots and partial information.  Ultimately, the separate tools mean separate data, workflows, and consoles.  This separation leads to misaligned priorities, slower incident resolution, and wasted time. Ultimately, it translates into lower efficiency, which, means more people and a higher TCO.  

Cato XOps Fixes This.  

Cato XOps brings XDR and AIOps together in a single platform. It uses a shared AI layer to process and correlate events to support your teams: from detection through to remediation, across security and operations. Instead of isolated tools, you get one platform that highlights the most critical issues, whether it’s a ransomware attempt or a degraded network route. Instead of just alerts, it helps resolve them through built-in workflows and automation. 

Handling security and operations issues in one platform gives your teams an amazing efficiency boost.  Handling them across all your Cato services gives them amazing peace of mind.  

Here’s what Cato XOps delivers: 

• Fewer alerts, more insight: XOps distils millions of raw events into prioritized incident stories, so your teams can act fast without the noise. 

• Single source of truth: All event data, network and security, runs through the same AI layer. No stitching tools together or reconciling conflicting alerts.  Your NOC and SOC teams can see operational insights or security insights, or both – at the click of a button.  

• Broad coverage: XOps processes events from every Cato service you have bought, and every connector you are using, automatically, and with no setup required. 

• Action built-in: Cato XOps stories aren’t just alerts: they’re bundled with shared context, recommendations, mitigation actions and workflows to move from detection to resolution quickly. 

XOps Covers Every Cato Service You Have Bought.  

XOps is the ultimate support tool for your NOC and SOC teams.  First, it processes data from every service you have bought.  So, whether it’s correlating events from inline threat prevention engines or hunting for zero-day threats and user behaviour anomalies; whether it’s a last-mile connection problem, a ZTNA user issue or DEM alert: whatever the issue, XOps is working to support your teams. 

Second, it provides insights for each team, grouped by function but visible by all. So, whether it’s warning your SOC team about a phishing attempt or insider threat; whether it’s warning your NOC team about multiple disconnected users or an imminent issue from an over-utilised CPU: whatever the issue, XOps has your back. 

The Result? A Real Efficiency Boost. 

IT and security teams get clarity instead of chaos. They work from the same data, in the same console, and can act fast, using the same approach in the same tool. That means less spend for you and less stress for your teams. For the business, it means less interruption, less exposure and lower risk. 

Back to Your Daily Reality. 

What if your teams could log in, see a short list of prioritized stories, and know, immediately, where to focus? What if they could remediate operational and security issues through a single pane of glass? 

That’s what Cato XOps makes possible. It’s not just better tools. It’s a better way to work.
