From the vendor

Cybereason Defense Platform is an AI-powered XDR and EDR solution from Cybereason designed to detect and remediate endpoint threats through operation-centric security visualization. The platform distinguishes itself from alert-based competitors by using proprietary MalOps technology to present complete attack narratives that connect the full story of an attack from root cause across affected endpoints and users, rather than isolated, low-context security alerts. This approach enables security teams to reduce investigation time by as much as 93% according to vendor materials, moving from days of alert triage to minutes of focused response. The platform consolidates prevention, detection, and response capabilities in a single lightweight agent and console, delivering multi-layered defenses including behavioral detection powered by machine learning, automated remediation, and rollback-to-pre-attack capabilities. Cybereason offers three enterprise service tiers: Enterprise for prevention-focused deployments, Enterprise Advanced for medium-sized deployments, and Enterprise Complete for large enterprises requiring advanced features and threat hunting.

Pricing is available only by request; Cybereason does not publish per-endpoint rates on its website. The platform integrates with major third-party security platforms including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Duo, and CyberArk for identity and access management, Mimecast and Proofpoint for email security, Splunk and IBM QRadar for SIEM platforms, and ServiceNow for SOAR and workflow automation, among others across network security, cloud, and threat intelligence categories. Cybereason supports both cloud-based SaaS deployment and on-premises deployment models, including air-gapped environments for disconnected networks where customer data is never exposed to internet connectivity. Cybereason is now owned by LevelBlue. MSPs evaluating Cybereason should confirm whether their organization fits the enterprise-focused positioning of the platform, verify that required integrations with existing RMM, PSA, and security tools are available, understand whether managed detection and response services, such as MDR Essentials or MDR Complete, are preferable to self-managed EDR licensing, and confirm support hour requirements align with the vendor's 24/7 incident response availability.

Our take

Cybereason Defense Platform competes in the XDR space alongside CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and SentinelOne, distinguishing itself through operation-centric attack visualization using MalOps rather than alert-heavy dashboards. It suits organizations wanting to consolidate detection, response, and threat hunting capabilities in one platform with unified response workflows. Because Cybereason focuses on enterprise deployments and does not publish pricing, smaller and mid-market MSPs should request a trial or demo to understand per-endpoint costs and whether the feature set matches their needs. Before committing, confirm operating system support (Windows, macOS, Linux availability not explicitly stated on their public website), verify that integrations with your RMM, PSA, or SIEM are included in the current integration list, and clarify whether managed MDR services or self-managed EDR licensing better suits your operational model and budget.
