D3 Security in Vancouver provides a platform for security orchestration, automation, incident response, as well as investigation and case management. Core components of the D3 platform include integrations with SIEM and threat intelligence platforms, a NIST-compliant playbook library, a case management module for guided investigations, and analytics toolsets.

Cortex XSOAR, formerly Demisto and now from Palo Alto Networks since it was acquired in March 2019, provides orchestration to enable security teams to ingest alerts across sources and execute standardized, automatable playbooks for accelerated incident response. Its playbooks are powered by hundreds of integrations and thousands of security actions, striking the right balance between rapid machine execution and nuanced human oversight.
D3 is clearly tailoring their approach to large organizations with a significant geographical footprint who are largely in need of a tool that provides robust analytics and activity graphing to analyze productivity and supervisory efficiency at the executive level. However, small to medium-sized organizations and those with narrow geographical footprints may find the investment vastly more expensive than the return. The implementation of minimum purchasing guidelines means that smaller departments will be forced into purchasing tools they have little to no use for, and medium-size departments will be paying a high price for features they do find helpful but could get elsewhere for a substantially lower price. Additionally, small to medium-sized users may find that D3's focus on large organizational level tools is less helpful than some smaller competitor's software which provides a number of capabilities with more operational relevance for environments like office buildings, college campuses, university police departments, and housing associations. Overall, I would recommend D3 to large organizations who have need of the advanced tools included in their more expensive modules. The lack of some smaller levels of customization, 1st line operational features, and the high-end user interface is less important at that level of implementation.
XSOAR is well suited for phishing detection and response. Phishing alerts are as much of a problem today as they were decades ago. This is because: ●Attackers Can leverage automation to launch high-quantity phishing attacks with the click of a button. ●Spear Phishing attacks are sophisticated and sometimes indistinguishable from real emails, resulting in compromise through human error. ●Security Teams aren’t able to follow set processes while responding to phishing alerts. They must coordinate across email inboxes, threat intel, NGFW, ticketing, and other tools. Each tool has different consoles, data conventions, and contexts, making it difficult for security teams to fill in the gaps while minimizing errors. XSOAR is less suited for analyzing traffic.
The XSOAR bot creates a lot of noise on the summary page of any XSOAR incident. Although the filter is available to reduce the view, by default this should not be visible cluttering the whole scenario.
The interface has too much data on a single pane. I would love to have many buttons to just click and do stuff.
Also, I would love to have search areas more interactive and easier to navigate.
It has proven to be far to valuable and effective to consider getting rid of it. Until something better comes along, this is staying in our product stack.
The quantity of integrations with security solutions is highest in Palo Alto Solution. The capacity to identify anomalous events is much better in Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR. The flexibility of increased storage area is better as well. The dashboard is very intuitive about showing the most important incidents and how to resolve them.
