Hexnode Adds macOS Support and Faster Response Tools to Its XDR Platform

Hexnode, the enterprise software division of Mitsogo, has expanded its Hexnode XDR product with new threat detection, alert prioritisation and remediation features, as well as support for macOS. The company says the update is aimed at reducing the manual steps between spotting suspicious activity and taking corrective action on affected devices.

Hexnode framed the release around what it calls a widening gap between AI-driven attacks and response capability in Australia and New Zealand. It cited survey findings that only 14% of organisations in the region could respond to an AI-automated attack at machine speed, with most still relying on partly or entirely manual processes. The platform integrates with Hexnode UEM, its device management tool, so investigations can be linked to actions such as containment and remediation without separate workflows.

On the detection side, the latest version brings threat signals into a centralised incident view. Hexnode lists integrations with Mandiant (Google Threat Intelligence) and Recorded Future, sandbox analysis for suspicious files, anomaly detection, and AI-assisted investigation through Hexnode Genie AI, which offers plain-language alert summaries and recommendations. The update also ranks alerts by severity and urgency and gives endpoints a dynamic risk score. Administrators can set exclusions for trusted files, applications and processes to cut false positives.
