A security operations center (SOC) team uses Palo Alto Networks products and wants to automate their incident response workflows, enrich alerts with threat intelligence, and orchestrate actions across various security tools. Which Palo Alto Networks Security Operations solution is designed for these capabilities?
- ACortex Data Lake
- BPrisma Cloud
- CCortex XDR
- DCortex XSOAR
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Cortex XSOAR
Cortex XSOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) is explicitly designed to automate incident response workflows, integrate with various security tools, and enrich alerts with threat intelligence, streamlining SOC operations.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Cortex Data Lake is a cloud-based logging and data retention service, providing a centralized repository for security data, but not automation.
- B. Prisma Cloud is a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) for multi-cloud security, not incident response automation.
- C. Cortex XDR is an extended detection and response platform for endpoint, network, and cloud, focusing on threat detection and investigation, not workflow automation.
Cortex XSOAR
Palo Alto Networks' Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform that unifies security processes, automates incident response, and orchestrates actions across various security tools.
- Automates repetitive security tasks and playbooks.
- Integrates with hundreds of security products and threat intelligence feeds.
- Reduces mean time to resolution (MTTR) for security incidents.
Memory trick: To SOAR through incidents, you need XSOAR.
