Products-Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR

Transform Your SOC with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR

Automating Incident Response

In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, security operations center (SOC) teams face a daunting task of combating sophisticated cyber attacks. Palo Alto Networks offers a solution to this challenge with Cortex XSOAR. By embracing automation-first mindset, SOC teams can significantly enhance their incident response capabilities. With Cortex XSOAR, teams can reduce alert noise, eliminate repetitive manual tasks, facilitate analyst investigation, and effectively map external threats to SOC incidents. This automation-centric approach allows SOC analysts to focus on critical tasks and improve overall security posture.

Key Benefits of Cortex XSOAR

Cortex XSOAR empowers SOC teams to supercharge their incident response capabilities by reducing the time spent on incidents by up to 90%. By automating routine tasks and workflows, Cortex XSOAR eliminates busywork and enables analysts to concentrate on high-priority security issues. The platform offers prebuilt automation packs and a visual playbook editor for seamless code-free automation. Additionally, Cortex XSOAR centralizes incident response across teams, tools, and networks, allowing for efficient orchestration of security operations.

Real-World Implementation: State of North Dakota Information Technology

The State of North Dakota Information Technology (NDIT) faced the challenge of securing a vast network that serves state government, education, and local communities. To address these security concerns, NDIT implemented Cortex XSOAR as the foundation for its next-generation SOC. Leveraging XSOAR automation, NDIT streamlined operational workflows, achieving efficiencies comparable to adding eight to ten SOC analysts. With the help of 196 playbooks, NDIT successfully closed over 60% of incidents, showcasing the platform's tangible impact on reducing response times and improving overall security.

Integrated Capabilities and Expansion

Cortex XSOAR seamlessly integrates with the Palo Alto Networks Cortex platform, offering a comprehensive security solution for organizations. By combining XSOAR with other Palo Alto Networks products such as XDR, Xpanse, Prisma Cloud, Prisma Access, NGFW, and Unit 42, users can automate workflows, enrich threat intel data, manage misconfigurations, auto-scale access, update firewall devices, and access threat intelligence repository seamlessly. This integrated approach enhances the overall security posture and operational efficiency of SOC teams.

Taking Automation Further

Beyond the initial deployment, organizations can benefit from Cortex Customer Success and Professional Services to optimize their automation investment. By leveraging onboarding assistance, service configuration, use case guidance, training, documentation, and platform support, organizations can realize the full potential of Cortex XSOAR. With ongoing support and guidance, SOC teams can continuously enhance their security automation capabilities and stay ahead of evolving threats.
