In most situations, Network Detection & Response (NDR) tools alone are not enough to provide comprehensive security. The analysts must also be able to see logs, real-time traffic, and user behaviors to detect complex attacks.
Stellar Cyber, who took Platinum for Best Unified Incident & Event Management Solution in the 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, provides a pre-configured, single-license SecOps platform, powered by Open XDR that delivers built-in NDR as well as next-generation Security information and event management (SIEM) technology, User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), and a Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP), to give analysts a full picture of what’s going on in the network.
Today’s cyberattacks occur across multiple vectors, so using a single tool to detect networks, user activities or endpoints can’t present a complete picture of these attacks.
The company’s platform features enterprise-class NDR capabilities and correlates and analyzes that data with data from its SIEM, UEBA, and TIP functions to detect complex attacks before they can do real damage.
In fact, the pre-configured, single-license Stellar Cyber Open XDR platform automatically ingests, normalizes, and enriches data from all sources (including third-party tools); automatically correlates and analyzes the data with an AI and machine learning-driven engine, and reports actionable incidents that analysts can immediately act upon to stop nascent attacks before they become a problem.
This reduces hacker dwell time in the customer’s network and ensures analysts are looking at real issues rather than chasing alerts and manually digging through data to find the needles in the haystack.

Legacy SIEM platforms can’t stop real-time, complex attacks because they aggregate logs, which are snapshots of past events.
The pre-configured, single-license Stellar Cyber single-license SecOps platform, powered by Open XDR, incorporates next-generation SIEM (NG-SIEM), NDR, UEBA, and TIP functionalities, correlates and analyzes all their data, and produces real-time, actionable incidents that are prioritized in order of severity so analysts can go directly to work remediating attacks before they cause real damage.
What is Open XDR?
Open XDR is a unified, AI-powered approach to detection and response, that collects and correlates all existing security tools, to protect the entire enterprise attack surface effectively and efficiently.
Open XDR is Everything Detection and Response, more than eXtended Detection and Response, because it must defend against all threats across the entire attack surface.
The only way to do this is by integrating with existing security tools.
Typically, organizations need an army of analysts to sort through SIEM data.
Stellar Cyber’s platform upends that structure by democratizing SecOps for security teams that are overworked and frustrated.
The company believes its Open XDR platform is the best SIEM solution because it goes well beyond SIEM, both in scope and in analytics, to reduce Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) by 8X and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) by 20X.
Stellar Cyber’s cybersecurity software makes industry-leading security capabilities accessible to small/medium enterprises (SMEs) that might not have a large staff of security analysts or a large collection of security tools on hand.

Stellar Cyber’s pre-configured, single-license SecOps platform, powered by Open XDR, delivers built-in NDR, next-generation SIEM, UEBA, and TIP capabilities and integrates with existing third-party tools such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDRs).
The platform also democratizes security by combining all this functionality under a single, easy-to-use dashboard that can be trained within a day and can be operated by lower-level analysts (who are easier to hire in the highly constricted security analyst environment).
As such, the platform brings world-class security within reach for SMEs and MSPs looking to expand their offerings with managed security services.
The Stellar Cyber Open XDR platform delivers Everything Detection and Response by ingesting data from all tools, automatically correlating alerts into incidents across the entire attack surface, delivering fewer and higher-fidelity incidents, and responding to threats automatically through AI and machine learning.

The Stellar Cyber XDR Kill Chain™, fully compatible with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, is designed to characterize every aspect of modern attacks while remaining intuitive to understand.
This reduces enterprise risk through early and precise identification and remediation of all attack activities while slashing costs, retaining investments in existing tools and accelerating analyst productivity.

Typically, Stellar Cyber delivers an 8x improvement in MTTD and a 20x improvement in MTTR. The company is based in Silicon Valley.

The pinnacle of the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program is the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards Ceremony Luncheon Banquet, an exclusive, full-course plated meal event, in the heart of New York City.
The 2022 exclusive sold-out ‘ASTORS’ luncheon featured representatives of law enforcement, public safety, and industry leaders who came together to honor the selfless service of those who stand on the front lines and those who stand beside them – providing the capabilities and technologies to create a safer world for generations to come.
Last year marked the 20th anniversary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which came out in force to discuss comprehensive collaborations between private and public sectors that have led to the development of intelligence and technologies which serve to protect our nation.
The keynote address was provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations (OFO) Deputy Executive Assistant Commissioner (DEAC) Diane Sabatino, who described the changes to CBP through the tragedy of 9/11 and the relentless commitment to its mission and ongoing investment in the latest technologies and innovations to protect our borders and Homeland.
The resounding theme of the DEAC’s remarks was her pride in the women and men of the CBP and their families who support them.
AST was also joined by Legendary Police Commissioner William Bratton, who spoke about his love for the City of New York, the Profession of law enforcement to which he has dedicated his life, and for which he continues to drive thought leadership and innovation.
New York City Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Department Kenneth Corey, came out to address Luncheon attendees and shared some of his experiences and the changes in policing he’s witnessed over his more than three decades of service.
FDNY Chief Joseph Jardin honored the men and women of the FDNY, not only those who currently serve but all of those who have selflessly served, with special recognition of those lost on 9/11.
Chief Jardin spoke about the continuing health battle of many following 9/11 with cancer and respiratory disease, yet now knowing the full consequences, would not have made a different decision to respond.
As Chief Jardin noted, mission-driven service is the lifeblood of every firefighter, volunteer, and sworn member, and has been so throughout the history of the Fire Service.
Former head of the FBI’s active shooter program, Katherine Schweit joined AST to sign complimentary copies of her book, ‘STOP THE KILLING: How to End the Mass Shooting Crisis, thanks to the generosity of our 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Sponsors.
