Cortex XSOAR, formerly Demisto and now from Palo Alto Networks since it was acquired in March 2019, provides orchestration to enable security teams to ingest alerts across sources and execute standardized, automatable playbooks for accelerated incident response. Its playbooks are powered by hundreds of integrations and thousands of security actions, striking the right balance between rapid machine execution and nuanced human oversight.
XSOAR is well suited for phishing detection and response. Phishing alerts are as much of a problem today as they were decades ago. This is because: ●Attackers Can leverage automation to launch high-quantity phishing attacks with the click of a button. ●Spear Phishing attacks are sophisticated and sometimes indistinguishable from real emails, resulting in compromise through human error. ●Security Teams aren’t able to follow set processes while responding to phishing alerts. They must coordinate across email inboxes, threat intel, NGFW, ticketing, and other tools. Each tool has different consoles, data conventions, and contexts, making it difficult for security teams to fill in the gaps while minimizing errors. XSOAR is less suited for analyzing traffic.
It has proven to be far to valuable and effective to consider getting rid of it. Until something better comes along, this is staying in our product stack.
The quantity of integrations with security solutions is highest in Palo Alto Solution. The capacity to identify anomalous events is much better in Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR. The flexibility of increased storage area is better as well. The dashboard is very intuitive about showing the most important incidents and how to resolve them.
Reduces man-hours spent on handling false-positive repetitive alerts, daily 40% of analysts' time saved during a 24 hour period. In the initial stage, it was 75% of analysts' time saved due to the new environment, less maturity, and a lot of un-finetuned alerts.
Single pane for notification, collaboration, and action (to some extent) which is a major time saver compared to the conventional method of meeting invites and emails back-and-forth.
Secure documentation of business-critical incidents with a need-to-know basis of access according to each role.
