Palo Alto Networks - Cortex XDR

Designed for critical infrastructures, Cortex XDR is a next-generation cyber defense platform that integrates endpoint, network, and identity data to instantly stop cyber threats and provide operational freedom.

Enterprise Infrastructure Security Challenges

Today, cyberattacks occur three times faster than before, and in 20% of incidents, the time between initial infiltration and data exfiltration drops below one hour. Traditional security tools fail to provide proactive protection, leaving infrastructures exposed to risks.

Who can benefit?

  • SOC teams suffering from cyber fatigue under an overwhelming volume of alerts
  • Organizations looking to prevent zero-day and unsigned advanced attacks
  • Institutions experiencing blind spots and visibility gaps across different layers
  • Structures aiming for instant, automated response instead of manual analysis

How Does Cortex XDR Work?

Cortex XDR seamlessly collects endpoint, network, cloud, and identity data, unifying it into a single hub. It provides a three-step intelligent defense cycle that detects unseen threats through advanced Al analytics.

Workflow

1. Unified Visibility

  • Seamlessly collects logs from all layers.
  • Automatically correlates disparate data.
  • Eliminates blind spots across the network.
  • Provides clean and rich data for analysis.

2. Analysis and Detection

  • Performs behavioral analysis using AI.
  • Instantly detects zero-day and stealthy threats.
  • Automatically filters out millions of noisy alerts.
  • Presents critical cyber incidents with priority.

3. Investigation and Response

  • Displays the root cause of the threat on one screen.
  • Provides remote intervention via live terminal.
  • Rapidly isolates affected systems.
  • Instantly stops the threat with automated rules.

Flexible Integration and Scalability

Cortex XDR works in full harmony with your existing security investments and third-party architectures. As your infrastructure grows, its cloud-based architecture scales smoothly and flexibly without bringing additional costs.

Advantages

Artificial Intelligence Analytics

Proactively detects complex and unsigned cyberattacks missed by traditional tools using machine learning.

Unified Data Analysis

Eliminates all blind spots across the infrastructure by correlating endpoint, network, cloud, and identity data.

Intelligent Alert Grouping

Examines millions of warnings to form a single, meaningful incident chain, drastically reducing the workload of cyber teams.

Live Response Capability

Offers instant access to remote systems via the Live Terminal feature, stopping the spread of cyber threats within seconds.
