OTTAWA, Ontario, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, organizations require more sophisticated tools to protect themselves. CIRA, the national non-profit that protects over eight million Canadians with its cybersecurity products, is responding to this challenge by launching a new enterprise-grade service, CIRA XDR, that leverages an open-source codebase to protect organizations in Canada for which other solutions may be out of reach.

CIRA XDR is an affordable, professional-grade extended detection and response solution tailored specifically for Canadian organizations. Cybersecurity tools can generate overwhelming amounts of data leading to alert fatigue, long manual investigations and ad hoc mitigations from security teams. The struggle to keep up with the volume of “noise” produced by these traditional tools can hamper the ability to detect genuine threats. CIRA XDR leverages advanced analytics to reduce false positives, providing organizations with an easy and fast single-pane-of-glass view of potential threats with built-in automated response capabilities. The service can be integrated across multiple security domains—such as endpoints, identities, cloud applications, email and data stores.
