For a limited time, <\/span>Community Access is available for free to eligible customers<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With Cortex XDR, Palo Alto Networks has delivered <\/span>unmatched detection capabilities<\/span><\/a> that run on high-fidelity integrated data from endpoint, network and cloud data sources. Now, we\u2019re augmenting the power of Cortex XDR with a managed threat hunting service led by the globally renowned <\/span>Unit 42 threat intelligence team<\/span><\/a> to identify hiddens attacks that would otherwise go undetected. Our threat hunters apply human expertise augmented with big data analytics and comprehensive threat intelligence to surface malicious tactics, techniques and procedures hiding amongst billions of benign actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Registration for the Community Access edition of Cortex XDR Managed Threat Hunting is available today<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What Makes Cortex XDR Managed Threat Hunting Unique?<\/b><\/p>\n Threat hunting is not just a people problem. You need good data and analytics.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Don't miss your chance to <\/b>take advantage of the Community Access edition of Cortex XDR Managed Threat Hunting<\/b><\/a>.<\/b> You can also access it directly within the settings menu of Cortex XDR.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the heels of the <\/span>latest release of Cortex XDR<\/span><\/a>, our R&D teams have already delivered several exciting new Cortex XDR features that further improve dashboarding, alerting and third-party integrations:<\/span><\/p>\n Enhanced visibility and reporting<\/b><\/p>\n To identify high-severity threats and connectivity problems, your analysts need dashboards tailored to their unique requirements. When reviewing security alerts, they must have rich investigative context at their fingertips.<\/span><\/p>\n In the February release, Cortex XDR has added six new dashboard widgets that allow analysts to monitor incidents by status, alerts by category or source, and much more. Analysts can build custom dashboards with flexible chart options to assess security status.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Improved integration with WildFire lets your analysts view WildFire Analysis Reports without needing to download a PDF file or leave the Cortex XDR management console. Analysts can click on a link in the Cortex XDR \u201cCausality\u201d window to examine process, timeline and network information gathered by WildFire. WildFire analysis, included standard with Cortex XDR, takes the guesswork out of malware analysis.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n An integrated WildFire Analysis Report simplifies Cortex XDR investigations.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n New APIs extend integration with third-party tools<\/b><\/p>\n Cortex XDR now supports flexible APIs to retrieve or quarantine files, scan endpoints and much more. Organizations can use <\/span>Demisto<\/span><\/a> or other third-party tools to coordinate responses or collect telemetry from many Cortex XDR agents at the same time. These public APIs also allow partners or managed service providers to use the administration tools of their choice for monitoring and management. The <\/span>new APIs<\/span><\/a> complement existing Cortex XDR APIs introduced in the December 2019 release.<\/span><\/p>\n Email-based alert notifications<\/b><\/p>\n Email-based alerts allow analysts to be notified instantly when security events occur. Analysts can now streamline alert management by configuring alert notification and\u00a0 aggregation settings from the Cortex XDR management console. They can also define the alert specifications, distribution lists and how often to send notifications in the \u201cSettings > Alert Notifications\u201d page.<\/span><\/p>\n Coordinated response across multiple endpoints<\/b><\/p>\n To shut down malware outbreaks, security teams must act quickly. By locking down multiple endpoints at once, Cortex XDR administrators can prevent the spread of dangerous attacks across the organization. Cortex XDR now allows administrators to isolate multiple endpoints simultaneously, cutting response time and eliminating repetitive administrative tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
