WATERLOO, ON, Feb. 20, 2025 /CNW/ -- OpenText (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX: OTEX) today announced OpenText™ Core Threat Detection and Response, a new AI-powered cybersecurity solution for threat detection to be generally availability with Cloud Editions 25.2.  OpenText has greatly expanded its Cybersecurity portfolio in recent years, and its next generation of innovation is centered on enabling enterprises with world-class threat hunting, detection and response capabilities.  Protecting against threats both inside and outside an organization, OpenText is dedicated to helping organizations gain the strongest defense postures possible, in a machine-to-machine attack world.

OpenText Core Threat Detection and Response will be available on Microsoft Azure.  The solution is deeply integrated with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Entra ID, and Microsoft Security Copilot to empower organizations to stop attacks quickly and efficiently before damage occurs.  Furthermore, OpenText has a threat integration studio that allows customers to integrate and ingest telemetry from other network solutions, applications, security tools, and enterprise technologies into OpenText Core Threat Detection and Response.

OpenText Cybersecurity Cloud tackles a wide range of security challenges, from application and data protection to identity and access management, security operations, and digital forensics.  As a recognized leader in cybersecurity with over 7,500 global enterprise customers, OpenText delivers cutting-edge solutions that safeguard organizations of all sizes.

While external threats often dominate security strategies, insider threats — whether intentional, accidental, or due to stolen credentials — remain a costly and persistent danger.  Often evading detection and causing significant damage, insider-related incidents now cost organizations an average of $16.2 million annually, according to the 2023 Cost of Insider Risks Global Report by Ponemon and Sullivan.  Cybersecurity talent shortages have worsened the issue, leaving many organizations exposed without proactive detection measures. OpenText Core Threat Detection and Response, combined with OpenText's threat hunting services and integration toolkits, meets this challenge headfirst.

"Enterprises need a way to continuously adapt threat analysis to the unique behaviors of their organization without further straining security teams," said Muhi Majzoub, OpenText EVP, Security Products. "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.  We are also integrating our threat detection solutions with OpenText Content Management through easy integration kits to provide customers insights across applications, endpoints, and networks. This is part of our broader strategy to deliver holistic security solutions that protect the entire attack surface."
