See incidents before they breach.
XDR correlates telemetry across endpoint, network, identity, and cloud, with detection content built in and tuned to your environment.
BTA architects the unified telemetry pipeline, tunes detections to suppress noise, and builds runbooks tied to your SOC operations.
Why detection misses incidents.
- Risk 01
Telemetry sits in silos
Endpoint, network, identity, and cloud signals never meet in one pipeline. Cross-domain detections cannot run.
- Risk 02
Detection content is generic
Out-of-the-box rules generate noise. SOC teams burn hours on triage rather than response.
- Risk 03
Response is manual
Once a detection fires, response is hand-wired to runbooks that go stale.
How BTA delivers XDR.
- 01
Unify telemetry
Pull endpoint, network, identity, and cloud signals into one pipeline.
- 02
Tune detection content
Filter false positives. Add detections for your specific environment.
- 03
Orchestrate response
Wire response actions to confirmed detections, with reversible playbooks.
- 04
SOC handoff
Onboard analysts. Train tuning. Define ongoing review cadence.
What Extended Detection & Response (XDR) delivers.
Concrete, customer-side results we measure to.

We're architects who execute.
Three principles every BTA engagement runs on. Visible in the work itself.
We architect, deploy, and stay through Day-2.
Every engagement is end-to-end. We design the target environment, deploy it in stages, and remain on hand through the operational handoff.
We train your team to own the outcome.
Training is part of every engagement. By the close of an engagement, your operators can run, maintain, and defend the system to an auditor.
We measure success when your team runs it alone.
An engagement closes when your team is operating the solution without us in the room. SIMPLE methodology enforces this exit criterion on every project.
We meet you where you are.
Some teams want the full BTA delivery from architecture to handoff. Others bring us in for a single advisory window or a fully managed operations contract. Pick the model that fits and adjust as the business changes.
Consulting & Advisory
Strategy and senior guidance. Architecture reviews, technology assessments, and roadmap design for teams that own their own operations.

BTA runs the system day to day under your governance. Monitoring, change management, escalation paths, and SLAs for teams without Day-2 capacity.
Learn moreDeployment
Implementation-only engagement. Faster than the Full Service Lifecycle when the customer team will not own operations afterwards.
Learn moreOptimization
Refresh and refine an existing environment. Performance, automation, and refactor work for platforms already in production.
Learn moreEnablement
SIMPLE-driven Quickstart programs that deliver a specific Cisco capability into production on a known timeline.
Learn moreMentoring
Capability transfer for teams adopting a new platform. Pair-programming, custom training modules, and Cisco MINT-aligned curriculum.

Questions buyers ask about Extended Detection & Response (XDR).
Direct answers from BTA architects who run these engagements.
What is the difference between XDR and SIEM?
SIEM aggregates logs and runs correlation rules you write. XDR comes with detection content built in across endpoint, network, identity, and cloud, and can drive response actions automatically. Many environments run both.How quickly can XDR be deployed?
A focused XDR rollout for a defined scope runs in 6 to 10 weeks. Multi-domain enterprise deployments span longer because integration with identity and cloud telemetry adds discovery work.Will detection generate alert fatigue?
BTA tunes detections during deployment, removes noisy rules, and builds runbooks tied to your operations team. Detection is only useful if your team can act on it.Does XDR replace our existing tools?
Usually not. XDR sits on top of your current EDR, identity, and network tools and unifies their telemetry into one pipeline.
