A security operations center (SOC) team is overwhelmed with a high volume of alerts from various security tools and wants to automate the response to common incidents, such as phishing attempts or compromised endpoints. Which Palo Alto Networks solution provides security orchestration, automation, and response capabilities to address this challenge?
- AWildFire
- BPrisma Cloud
- CCortex XSOAR
- DCortex XDR
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Cortex XSOAR
Cortex XSOAR is Palo Alto Networks' Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform, specifically designed to automate and orchestrate security operations workflows, including incident response.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. WildFire is for advanced malware analysis, not for orchestrating security workflows.
- B. Prisma Cloud is a cloud-native security platform, not a SOAR solution.
- D. Cortex XDR is an extended detection and response platform for threat detection, not primarily for workflow automation.
Cortex XSOAR
Palo Alto Networks' Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform that unifies security operations, incident response, and threat intelligence management.
- Automates repetitive security tasks and workflows.
- Orchestrates responses across various security tools.
- Improves incident response times and analyst efficiency.
Memory trick: XSOAR makes your SOC a 'SOARing' success with automation.
