As businesses invest in the cloud, new Cortex
XSIAM features enable SecOps teams to identify and remediate cloud
threats in real-time
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., April 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:
PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced a new
milestone in how security operations centers (SOC) secure the
cloud. The new innovations as part of Cortex XSIAM® for
Cloud bolster the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM platform to
natively deliver Cloud Detection and Response capabilities in one
unified solution, making Cortex XSIAM the industry's first SOC
platform optimized for the cloud.
Many organizations now run a large portion of their business in
the cloud, yet traditional SOC security tools weren't designed for
the cloud. Palo Alto Networks new Cortex XSIAM for Cloud
innovations delivers cloud security operations capabilities through
one platform for faster, better security outcomes. It incorporates
the unique architecture of cloud-based applications, understands
the distinct characteristics of cloud-related threats, and provides
the necessary real-time monitoring and response capabilities for
SOC analysts.
Gonen Fink, SVP of Products
for Cortex and Prisma Cloud,
said:
"The evolution of our Cortex XSIAM
platform to integrate Cloud Detection and Response
capabilities underscores the reason we created Cortex XSIAM
– to provide a comprehensive security operations platform
powered by AI and automation. This approach eliminates data silos,
increases efficiency, and nets optimal experiences for
SecOps teams. Cortex XSIAM for Cloud represents
our commitment to providing a unified security solution in one
platform, leading to greater speed and better security."
As part of the new Cloud Detection and Response capabilities,
Cortex XSIAM provides customers:
- Comprehensive UI and workflows: Within the same
unified platform for enterprise security in Cortex XSIAM, SOC
analysts can now utilize a new Cloud Command Center for complete
visibility into cloud assets. This visibility enables security
teams to identify and respond to cloud threats quickly.
- An expanded security agent: An expanded version of
the Cortex XDR® Agent augments Cortex's best-in-class
runtime security and threat protection with Prisma®
Cloud's powerful vulnerability and security compliance management
capabilities to deliver a complete Cloud Detection and Response
solution. These new capabilities not only eliminate the necessity
for two agents but also significantly enhance visibility while
streamlining deployment and operations across the entirety of a
security program.
- Native integration with Prisma
Cloud: The new Prisma
Cloud integration further enriches the capabilities
delivered through the cloud SOC with broader context and security
posture information about cloud assets for detailed incident
grouping and more straightforward navigation.
Dave Gruber, Principal
Cybersecurity Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group,
said:
"Our research shows that 89% of SOC
teams either play a major role or have complete ownership of
cloud security operations. Yet current SOC tools often
fall short in providing the level of visibility and context needed
to support cloud investigations. The addition of native,
cloud SecOps capabilities within Cortex XSIAM
narrows this gap, enabling cloud and security teams to work
more collaboratively to see, understand, and mitigate attacks
involving cloud resources."
