After moving the poorly performing and poorly built XDR, the new GM (John Morgan) is finally doing the smart thing and setting it up to be shut down.
There is going to be over 100 layoffs across the group on May 14th, with huge cuts coming to a 30-person data science team in Prague that has produced nearly no value in 10 years, and finally letting go the XDR engineer directors who built this Rube Goldberg machine no one actually likes or uses.
XDR and Sp--k SOAR both horrible to use
No problem
These leaders will go out, build a new product of horrible quality & be back at Cisco with millions more in their pockets.
The best part is Splunk’s alternative is complete cr-p.
No one will dispute that XDR is a giant tu-d, but I highly doubt it is being shut down. It should be shut down, but Cisco has never had that kind of courage. It will just limp along in some zombie state like almost everything else in "old" SBG.
