Hexnode XDR
Threat detection that responds through the agent you already run — severity-scored, visually triaged, and automated for teams that don’t have a SOC.
How it’s rated
Full scoreboard ↓Quick answer
Hexnode XDR is Mitsogo's extended detection and response product, unveiled at HexCon25 (September 2025): real-time threat detection, investigation and automated remediation unified with the Hexnode UEM fabric. Threats arrive scored by severity — low, medium, high, critical — with visual analytics that prioritise remediation by risk impact, and because the response plane IS the device-management plane, containment actions (isolate, restrict, wipe, re-policy) execute through the agent already on every endpoint. Young, honest about it, and structurally different from bolt-on XDR.

Understand XDR before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is extended detection & response?
XDR is the detect-investigate-respond loop, unified: telemetry from endpoints analysed in real time, correlated into scored incidents, and answered with containment actions — ideally automatic ones.
It’s the third generation of endpoint defence: antivirus matched signatures, EDR watched behaviour on endpoints, and XDR extends detection across the estate while closing the loop with response. Hexnode’s twist: the response plane is the device-management plane itself.
Bolt-on detection vs UEM-native response — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Bolt-on XDR + SIEM + tickets | UEM-native XDR (Hexnode) |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor rollout | A new agent negotiated onto every endpoint | Every UEM-enrolled device is already a sensor |
| Alert queue | An undifferentiated wall, loudest first | Severity-scored: critical first, always |
| Investigation | Pivot across SIEM, EDR console and asset DB | Threat → device record → action, one console |
| Containment | Detection tool asks the management tool nicely | Response IS management — isolate, restrict, wipe via the agent |
| Context | Asset data imported, stale, half-mapped | Live UEM inventory enriches every detection |
| After-hours critical | Waits for a human to wake up | Automated response rules act in machine time |
| Team requirement | A SOC, or an MDR retainer | Built for the lean team that runs the UEM |
| Cost shape | XDR licence + SIEM + integration project | Per-device attach on the existing platform |
Adoption is incremental — observe mode first, then automated response tier by tier. Nothing fires unattended until you say so.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
UEM Fabric
XDR rides the agent and inventory Hexnode UEM already maintains — every enrolled device is a sensor and a response point from day zero.
Detection Layer
Endpoint signals streamed and analysed in real time — anomalies surface as threats the moment they behave like threats.
Severity Engine
Every detection lands scored low, medium, high or critical — the queue arrives pre-prioritised by risk impact, not chronology.
Visual Analytics
A dynamic dashboard of what's active, where it sits and what it touches — investigation as navigation rather than log spelunking.
Response Plane
The structural difference: containment executes through device management — isolate, restrict apps, revoke access, re-policy or wipe, without a second agent.
One agent on every machine, one console over all of them — modules attach without a second operational world.
Twelve capabilities. Detect, investigate, respond.
Hexnode XDR replaces the XDR licence + SIEM + integration-project stack with detection and response on the fabric you already run.
Real-Time Threat Detection
Endpoint telemetry analysed as it streams — threats surface when they act, not when a scheduled scan finds the wreckage.
Severity Scoring
Low, medium, high, critical — every detection arrives triaged, so a lean team works the critical first instead of the loudest first.
Fleet-Wide Sensor Grid
Every UEM-enrolled device is already a sensor — coverage equals enrollment, with no second rollout to negotiate.
Risk & Compliance Signals
Detection enriched with what UEM already knows — encryption state, patch level, policy drift — context most XDRs must import.
Visual Threat Analytics
The dynamic threat overview: what's active, its blast radius and its priority — investigation as a map, not a grep session.
Incident Investigation
Drill from a scored threat into affected devices, users and actions taken — the incident story assembled in one place.
Device-Centric Context
Every threat links to the full UEM device record — owner, apps, policies, history — the questions an investigation asks first, pre-answered.
Genie AI Assist
Hexnode's agentic AI chats, fixes and scripts across the platform — triage questions answered and remediation scripts drafted in the console.
Automated Response Rules
Critical detection → containment action, automatically: the response that used to wait for a human now executes in machine time.
UEM-Powered Containment
Isolate from networks, restrict apps, revoke access, re-apply policy or wipe — response actions are management actions, executed by the agent already there.
Guided Remediation
Prioritised, risk-ranked remediation flows — the dashboard tells a lean team what to fix first and what can wait for Monday.
IdP & UEM Synergy
Threat state can inform Hexnode IdP access decisions and UEM compliance rules — a critical-risk device loses access until it's clean.

Here’s what genuinely sets UEM-native XDR apart from the bolt-on stack.
Response is management
Most XDRs detect brilliantly and then ask another tool to act. Hexnode XDR's containment IS device management — isolate, restrict, re-policy, wipe — executed by the agent already on the endpoint.
Coverage without a rollout
Every UEM-enrolled device is a sensor on day zero. The deployment phase that stalls XDR projects for quarters simply doesn't exist here.
Triage built for lean teams
Severity scoring and visual analytics assume you don't have a SOC — the queue arrives prioritised, the map shows blast radius, and Genie AI drafts the fix.
Context pre-loaded
Owner, apps, patch level, policy history — the device file every investigation opens with is already in the same console, because UEM built it.
One console, one bill
Detection, investigation and response in the console your team already runs — no SIEM licence, no integration project, no second pane of glass.
Founder-led velocity
Mitsogo shipped XDR (Sept 2025) and IdP (March 2026) within six months of each other — the platform is compounding, and early buyers ride the cadence.
The numbers behind the platform
What your Hexnode XDR journey looks like
Threat-surface census
TechBag advisors map your fleet, current detection gaps and response readiness — if Hexnode UEM already runs, the XDR business case is mostly arithmetic.
Detection live, observe mode
XDR enabled across the enrolled fleet — severity scoring and the threat overview run in observe mode while baselines settle.
Automation switched on
Response rules go live tier by tier: critical detections auto-contain, high alerts page, mediums queue. Genie AI drafts the runbooks.
Detect-respond steady state
The fleet self-reports, criticals self-contain, and threat state feeds IdP access decisions. TechBag manages renewals and true-ups.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“The XDR pitch that sold us: the sensor grid already existed. Every enrolled device lit up in the threat overview the day we switched it on.”
“Severity scoring changed our mornings — we open the console to a prioritised queue instead of an undifferentiated wall of alerts.”
“A critical detection isolated a laptop from the network before our (part-time) security guy saw the notification. That's the automation we couldn't afford elsewhere.”
“Investigation drills straight into the device record — owner, apps, patch state. In our old stack that was three tools and a prayer.”
“It's young and it shows in places — detection rule depth doesn't match CrowdStrike yet, and we didn't expect it to. For a UEM shop the value is real today.”
“Genie AI drafting remediation scripts from a chat prompt is quietly the biggest time-saver in the product.”
“We kept our EDR on servers and run Hexnode XDR across the device fleet — the two coexist fine and the console consolidation still paid for itself.”
“Pricing as a UEM attach made the CFO conversation short. A standalone XDR quote for the same fleet was 3x.”
Where everyone sits — the grids
Analyst firms bury this view behind paywalls, and G2 retired its Grid. So here’s TechBag’s synthesis of the XDR market — tap any vendor to see why it sits where it does.
TechBag XDR Market Grid
Execution strength vs product vision — the classic market map, minus the paywall.
The newest entrant with the structural shortcut: sensors and response hands already deployed via UEM. Scope is honest, momentum is the bet — this page's subject.
Detection Depth × Lean-Team Operability
The grid nobody publishes — detection power vs whether a team without a SOC can actually run it.
Deliberate scope at near-zero operational weight — the lightest path from 'no detection' to 'scored, automated response'.
Positions are TechBag’s illustrative synthesis of public review-platform data and vendor documentation — not a reproduction of any analyst graphic. Verify before relying on it.

What does manual triage cost you?
Drag the sliders. Estimates assume ~2.5 IT-hours per device per year on alert triage, investigation and manual containment, with ~65% removed by severity scoring, unified context and automated response — illustrative and conservative.
Loaded cost = salary + overheads per productive hour. Illustrative only — your TechBag quote models actual device counts and modules.

The 8 questions to ask every XDR vendor
Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.
It's a 2025 product: which detection categories are covered TODAY, verified in the current release — not the roadmap deck?
Trigger a test detection and watch containment execute through the UEM agent. Time the loop end to end.
What signals feed the severity score, and can thresholds be tuned to your risk appetite?
Running an EDR on servers already? Confirm the coexistence story — most estates run layered.
Which auto-response actions can fire unattended, and what's the rollback if a false positive isolates the CEO's laptop?
Walk through a 2 a.m. critical: who's paged, what fired automatically, what's waiting at 9 a.m.?
If you run Hexnode IdP: demo threat-state-gated access. It's the fabric's best trick.
Price the UEM+XDR attach against your standalone XDR + SIEM quotes — bring both to the table.
