    Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)Extended Detection and Response (XDR)Network SecurityCloud SecuritySecurity Analytics

    Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR is an extended detection and response platform that ingests and correlates endpoint, network, cloud, and identity telemetry for threat prevention, detection, investigation, and response. It employs machine learning models for behavioral analytics, root cause analysis reconstructing full attack chains, and automated responses via XSOAR playbooks. Proven in MITRE ATT&CK evaluations with top technique detections and 100% block rate in AV-Comparatives EPR tests, it leads in multi-vector attack visibility. Best for enterprises needing unified security operations across Palo Alto ecosystems like Prisma Cloud and NGFW.
