Palo Alto Networks Cortex Solutions

The industry’s most comprehensive product suite for security operations, empowering enterprises with the best-in-class detection, investigation, automation and response capabilities.

Cortex XDR Prevent

A single, cloud-delivered agent for endpoint protection, detection and response.

  • Get extended visibility with endpoint data sources
  • Block malware, ransomware, exploits and fileless attacks with next-generation antivirus
  • Secure endpoints with device control, host firewall and disk encryption
  • Enrich investigations with tailored threat intelligence including WildFire analysis

Cortex XDR Pro

The only detection and response platform that runs on integrated endpoint, network and cloud data supporting third-party feeds, offering the same capabilities as Cortex XDR as well as:

  • Pinpoint attacks with AI-driven detection and response
  • Optional managed threat hunting, host insights and forensic capabilities

Unit 42 Security Consulting Services Palo Alto Networks

Unit 42 brings together world-renowned threat researchers with an elite team of incident responders and security consultants to create an intelligence-driven, response-ready organisation passionate about helping customers more proactively manage cyber risk

  • Incident Response
  • Cyber Risk Management 

Cortex Xpanse

An automated Attack Surface Management platform enabling continuous discovery, evaluation and mitigation of the external attack surface by finding exposure categories such as:

  • Remote access service
  • Insecure file sharing/exchanging services
  • Unpatched or end-of-life systems
  • IT admin system portals
  • Sensitive business operation applications 

Cortex XSOAR

The industry's leading security orchestration, automation and response platform.

  • Orchestrate and automate incident response workflows with SecOps workflow automation
  • Manage incident cases in a war room with real-time collaboration
  • Tie threat intel to incidents and automate distribution to enforcement points with threat intel management
  • Automate routine tasks and increase efficiency with network security automation

Cortex XSIAM

The autonomous SOC platform powers the modern SOC. SecOps has too much information to manage in too many silos, and it relies heavily on reactive manual human effort after an incident. Solve this with an automated first approach and:

  • Respond to Threats in a fraction of the time
  • Simplify data onboarding in ways you wish your SIEM could
  • Elevate the role of your security analysts

Key benefits of Cortex security

Quick service set-up

Set up value-added detection and response services quickly, without needing to deploy and manage on-premise equipment

Third-party feed support

Cortex security supports third-party feeds, offering cross and upsell opportunities with nearly all customers

Stand out from the competition

Palo Alto Networks Cortex offers unique capabilities that differentiate it from competitors’ security solutions, differentiating you from your competition

Scalable

Harness the power of the cloud and intelligent engineering to scan all endpoints and uncover gaps before adversaries do

Simple

Break down security silos by gathering and integrating data from any source

Maximises ROI

Cut costs by consolidating tools, streamlining operations and preventing catastrophic attacks

    Only Palo Alto Networks Cortex delivers 100% protection and detection

    The 2023 MITRE Engenuity Enterprise Evaluations found Cortex XDR to be the only solution that delivers 100% visibility and 100% analytic coverage (detections), with zero configuration changes and zero delayed detections. This is the fifth year in a row of consistently outstanding protection and detection results.

    Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR and XSOAR Capture the Flag events

    Capture the Flag is a fun, hands-on way to learn about Cortex XDR or XSOAR (with a competitive twist). It consists of a series of questions varying in difficulty and participants have to use different skill sets to solve them. Once a challenge gets solved, the participant gets a 'flag' which translates into points being awarded.
