Blog Symantec® CBX is Now Available Worldwide

• AI is amplifying the scale and sophistication of threats while also giving more attackers the ability to target organizations that threat actors traditionally have overlooked.
• Now available worldwide, Symantec® CBX delivers enterprise-grade, AI-powered XDR for organizations of any size, bringing endpoint, web, and data protection together through automatic correlation and a unified, frictionless console.
• Harnessing AI capabilities that empower—not replace—defenders, CBX helps security teams anticipate attacks, streamline investigations, and accelerate response.
• With CBX, resource-constrained teams operate with the speed and effectiveness of large-scale SOCs.

Security teams already face more work than they can handle. Now AI-driven threats are making the challenge even greater. Attackers can use AI to automate tasks, increase the scale of their operations, and launch more advanced attacks with less effort. As a result, even inexperienced threat actors can target more organizations and do more damage.

Smaller organizations are no longer protected simply by being overlooked. In the past, many attackers focused on larger targets because reaching smaller organizations was not efficient. AI changes that equation. Cyber criminals can now expand their reach, making organizations of all sizes potential targets.

For teams with limited budgets and staff, this creates a serious new risk. The idea that an organization can stay safe simply by avoiding attention is no longer realistic.

Defenders in these organizations need new, more effective weapons. As of today, they have one.

A new kind of XDR

Today, we are announcing the general availability of Symantec CBX, a unified, cloud-based XDR platform that brings endpoint protection, data security, threat detection, and response together in a single solution for security teams of any size.

Symantec CBX gives security teams access to advanced XDR capabilities that have traditionally been available only to the largest enterprises. Instead of requiring analysts to manually connect information from different tools, CBX automatically correlates activity across environments and highlights the insights that matter most.

This combination of broad visibility and automated analysis helps security teams detect threats faster and respond more effectively. By connecting signals across multiple attack surfaces, CBX helps organizations with limited staff and budgets achieve results that once required much larger security operations, substantially greater cybersecurity investments, and extensive in-house expertise. CBX further strengthens these capabilities with AI-powered features designed to improve detection, investigation, and response.

Symantec CBX is built by the team that helped pioneer EDR and is backed by world-class threat intelligence. It brings endpoint, network, and data security together in one platform, covering protection, detection, response, and recovery.

CBX delivers a combination of features and capabilities, including many that are only available in Symantec solutions.

AI that supports security teams

CBX uses AI to help analysts work faster and more effectively. Symantec designed the AI features in CBX to support people, not to replace them.

• Incident Prediction anticipates an attacker’s next four or five actions and automatically disrupts their progress, helping prevent lateral movement, data theft, and business disruption.
• Adaptive Protection helps stop living-off-the-land (LOTL) attacks by learning how legitimate tools are normally used by an organization and blocking unusual activity that may indicate an attack.
• Threat Tracer provides a single view of attacker activity across endpoints, networks, SaaS applications, and cloud environments. Its visual interface helps both senior and junior analysts quickly understand how an attack started, spread, and affected the organization.
• AI-powered Investigation Summaries collect key incident details and present them as clear, actionable guidance. Analysts can quickly understand what happened, assess the impact, and take recommended remediation steps without manually piecing together multiple alerts.

Integrated network and data protection

CBX pulls together core capabilities from Symantec Secure Web Gateway and Symantec DLP to help stop threats and protect sensitive data. It integrates data security signals directly into investigations, helping teams identify data exposure without needing to invest in and deploy a full DLP program. CBX also includes web security protections while future-proofing security by safeguarding against “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks that are growing in popularity.

Simpler operations, better outcomes

Many organizations rely on disconnected security tools that require analysts to switch between dashboards and manually connect information. CBX brings telemetry, alerts, and investigation context into a single interface, giving every analyst access to the same correlated view of an incident.

With one console and one agent, teams can spend less time managing tools and more time responding to threats. The result is reduced tool sprawl, lower SIEM and other operational costs, relief from alert fatigue, faster response, and an improved ability to meet escalating compliance requirements. The benefits begin immediately with built-in policies that enable faster deployment and quicker time to value.
