ExtraHop® Accelerated Cyber Threat Investigations by 63% According to New Study

ExtraHop®, a leader in modern network detection and response (NDR), today revealed that enterprises accelerated security investigations by 63% with the ExtraHop RevealXTM NDR platform, empowering defenders to close the gap on modern adversaries.

By accelerating the response to network threats, the commissioned Total Economic ImpactTM (TEI) study, conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of ExtraHop, also estimated that a composite organization representative of interviewed customers over three years avoided $2.1 million in potential breach costs.

Reduce MTTR: Fighting modern threats with network and identity insights

As AI-driven attacks outpace traditional SOC workflows, enterprises must move from guesswork to decisive action. ExtraHop provides high-fidelity intelligence by exposing sophisticated threats other tools miss by analyzing deep network traffic in real time and decrypting hidden communications to expose the subtle anomalies that signal a cyberattack. This deep visibility into the attack surface provides a critical layer of context needed to identify intricate attacks and improves investigation workflows within the SOC.

By unifying this with identity insights, ExtraHop connects the dots between network behavior and user activity. Security teams can instantly trace the path of a user flagged in a detection across the environment to reveal the full scope of an incident, identifying every device, system, and data set impacted for faster, more decisive response.

The value of this precision was echoed by a CISO at a software company, who noted: “Our alert volume is less than what it was previously, and these alerts are high-fidelity. When it tells us something, something is happening. … It’s an 80% reduction in false positives [with ExtraHop RevealX].”

This shift from guesswork to high-fidelity detection has a massive operational payoff: another customer featured in the report cited a 65% improvement in mean time to resolution (MTTR).

Scale SOC operations: Accelerating investigations with AI-powered capabilities

To combat modern threats, ExtraHop utilizes AI-powered capabilities that simplify complex data and transform how analysts interact with network intelligence.

By automatically triaging detections, ExtraHop filters out noise to ensure teams focus on critical alerts. One software firm in the study slashed triage time by more than 50% – from nine minutes to under 4.5 minutes.

Beyond initial triage, ExtraHop provides a suite of intelligent capabilities to orchestrate the entire investigative lifecycle. Smart Investigations, which maps an attack’s progression, and the ExtraHop AI Search Assistant, which surfaces deep telemetry via natural language queries, democratize expertise and automate the manual correlation that typically slows response.

The ability to resolve complex tasks in a fraction of the time drives a massive gain in total capacity. For example, a manufacturing organization slashed lateral movement investigations from 25 hours to just three to four hours with ExtraHop.

This increased speed translates into significant organizational scale, with a financial services firm reporting ExtraHop boosted the collective efficiency of its 75-person SOC team by 40% to 60%.

Consolidate the security stack: Powering the agentic SOC with unified intelligence

ExtraHop saved enterprises $2.9 million by replacing fragmented legacy tools with a unified platform that brings NDR, network performance monitoring (NPM), intrusion detection system (IDS), and forensics together in a single platform. Powered by a single sensor, the platform eliminates the need for redundant tools and complex multi-sensor deployments.

This consolidation was a strategic priority for a Director of IT at a healthcare firm, who noted that moving away from costly legacy tools “paid for itself a few times over” while providing the visibility needed to manage M&A risk.

Beyond savings, this unified architecture provides the ground-truth telemetry essential for the agentic SOC. While logs and sampled data often lead to AI “hallucinations” or missed detections, ExtraHop’s deep packet-level insights provide the high-fidelity data agents need to make autonomous decisions and resolve threats at machine speed.

“As AI-driven attacks continue to outpace traditional SOC workflows, security teams are under immense pressure, often with fragmented tools and strained resources,” said Anthony James, VP, Product Marketing, ExtraHop. “ExtraHop acts as a force multiplier, transforming deep network insights into highly effective workflows that dramatically accelerate SOC operations. By providing the uncompromised intelligence required to slash MTTR and avoid costly fallouts, we give defenders back their time and capacity. But this high-fidelity data does more than just solve today’s alert fatigue; it provides the ground-truth telemetry essential to lay the foundation for the agentic SOC so our customers stay one step ahead.”
