# Cortex XDR

By integrating **Cortex XDR** with **CybrHawk** via Cortex XDR’s APIs, you can seamlessly ingest alerts into CybrHawk and take advantage of Cortex XDR’s advanced alert stitching and investigation features.

This integration enables CybrHawk to manage incidents by reviewing and updating incident details, statuses, and assignees directly within your existing workflows. Additionally, CybrHawk can:

* Retrieve detailed endpoint information
* Trigger response actions on endpoints
* Deploy installation packages through Cortex XDR APIs .

This enhances automation, visibility, and response across your security environment.
