New threat intelligence, alert prioritization and remediation capabilities aim to reduce the manual steps between identifying an attack and fixing endpoint risk
Hexnode is expanding its XDR platform with new threat intelligence, alert prioritization and automated remediation capabilities, while extending endpoint detection and response to macOS alongside Windows.
The enhancements address a familiar challenge for security operations teams: identifying suspicious activity is only the beginning. Analysts must still determine which alerts matter, understand the affected assets and take corrective action.
“We built Hexnode XDR around one complaint we heard constantly: security tools are good at telling you something is wrong, and bad at helping you do anything about it. More alerts was never the request. Fewer steps between the alert and the fix that was the request,” said Apu Pavithran, CEO and Founder of Hexnode.
Hexnode XDR now integrates threat intelligence from Mandiant, part of Google Threat Intelligence, and Recorded Future to provide additional context around endpoint activity. Sandbox analysis and anomaly detection add further layers for investigating suspicious files and behaviour that may not match known threat signatures.

Alert prioritization ranks activity based on severity and urgency, while dynamic asset scoring helps analysts identify endpoints requiring closer attention. Hexnode Genie AI adds plain-language alert summaries and uses live incident data to explain incidents, affected systems and potential fixes.
The platform also connects detection with response through native integration with Hexnode UEM. Teams can isolate affected devices, identify vulnerabilities and missing patches, and trigger predefined remediation actions based on configured policies.
Integrations with Splunk and QRadar extend investigation into existing SIEM environments.
Hexnode says alert prioritization, asset scoring and automated remediation also establish a foundation for deeper AI-assisted SOC capabilities, with further investigation and orchestration planned across its XDR and wider platform.
