This approach is called Cortex XDR,\nwhich can detect, investigate, respond and completely close the loops. It is\nthe industry\u2019s only open and integrated Artificial Intelligence- and Machine\nLearning-based continuous security platform designed to remove the burden of\nsecurity operations within the enterprise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cortex\nXDR addresses security issues such as fragmented data, alerts and responses\ncreated by traditional technologies which made operator\u2019s job more complex and\nsecurity less effective. An important part of this solution is the Cortex Data\nLake or the aggregation point of all data that were collected from the network,\nendpoint and cloud sensor that resides in the organization\u2019s premises. Lainez\nsaid Cortex Data Lake is scalable, privately secured and only customers have\naccess to their own data.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnce\nwe have these data, we can perform numerous types of analyses. By doing that,\nwe accelerate dramatically the time to investigate and time to mitigate the\ndata so we can stop attacks before they can do damage,\u201d said Lainez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lainez\nalso said Cortex XDR can be customized to the level that organizations are\nunique and behaviors of users are unique. \u201cWe can customize the rules to\naccommodate all these nuances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together\nwith Cortex XDR, Palo Alto Networks also introduced the latest version of\nTraps, an advance endpoint solution that can replace traditional antivirus. It\nis also a prevention tool which extends its capabilities to include behavioral\nthreat protection to work with Cortex XDR. All behavioral profiles are\nimportant to be captured, recorded and be brought to the Cortex Data Lake,\nLainez claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traps\nis being used by Cortex XDR as the ultimate data collection point for the\nendpoint so if there\u2019s an investigation to be done, you can go back in time and\ncheck all the timeline events that happened on the endpoint. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe\ncritical ones, the suspicious ones, the malicious ones, and even the seemingly\nnon-sense events are needed to be collected and Traps is capable of doing\nthat,\u201d noted Lainez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart\nfrom these, Traps can also extend the coverage of security from traditional\ncomputers to virtual machines, public and private cloud to new ways of\ncomputing including Linux.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile,\nOscar Visaya, country manager at Palo Alto Networks Philippines emphasized the\nneed for heightened security management as the current state of cybersecurity affects\nbusinesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visaya\nmentioned a lot of customers undergoing digital transformation did not include\nsecurity transformation as part of it. There is also the lack of skilled staff\nin cybersecurity that can manage complexities or the need for a revolutionary\ntool or approach to manage it. Another status quo is that SOCs are also very\ncomplex that they have many tools which can generate uncorrelated data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a need to replace EDR with the integration of three capabilities that include preventing what you can prevent, detecting by using behavioral analytics, and closing the gap that security operations centers (SOCs) are having problems with. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":34788,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
