Palo Alto Networks launches Cortex XSIAM for SIEM and SOC Analytics

Palo Alto Networks announced Cortex XSIAM, an AI-driven platform that can revolutionize the way data, analytics, and automation are deployed by security organizations.

Extended Security Intelligence & Automation Management (XSIAM) turn widespread infrastructure telemetry into an intelligent data foundation to fuel artificial intelligence and accelerate threat response. Built from the ground up as an autonomous security platform, XSIAM will disrupt the multibillion-dollar SIEM category by offering a modern alternative that can stay ahead of today's threat landscape.

"Organizations are still taking hours, or even days or months, to remediate threats — those are hours and days we no longer have given the speed and sophistication of attacks that are now commonplace. The SIEM space has been frozen and still relies heavily on human-driven workflows," said Nikesh Arora, CEO, and chairman of Palo Alto Networks. "This is not an area where we need an evolutionary approach. This is an area where we need a revolutionary approach. We have to radically reimagine how we run cybersecurity using AI so that an enterprise is able to respond to all attacks in real-time, not days, not weeks, not months."

The SIEM category has served security operations for many years as a way to aggregate and analyze alerts and logs. As a result, security operations teams continued to bolt on new tools that promised to solve point problems, resulting in fragmented and ineffective security architecture. As computer and data storage improves exponentially, it is essential to radically reimagine the delivery of real-time security to counter pervasive, AI-powered cyberattacks.

The XSIAM approach collects granular data to drive machine learning for natively autonomous response actions. These include cross-correlation of alerts and data, detection of highly sophisticated, emerging threats, and automated remediation based on native threat intelligence and attack surface data.

Specifically, Cortex XSIAM will transform security operations by enabling organizations to:

• Build an intelligent data foundation while reducing costs.
  Cortex XSIAM can natively ingest, normalize and integrate granular data across the security infrastructure at nearly half the list cost of legacy security products attempting to solve the problem.
• Respond in minutes rather than days.
  By providing multiple layers of AI-driven analytics based on data foundation, Cortex XSIAM detects emerging threats across the entire security infrastructure, automates the correlation of alerts and data into incidents, and leverages a self-learning recommendation engine to determine response next-steps.
• Proactively outpace threats.
  Cortex XSIAM will enable continuous discovery of vulnerabilities through native attack surface management and automate response-based integrated threat intelligence from tens of thousands of Palo Alto Networks customers.
