Introduction to XQL: Writing Your First Query
Learning a new programming or query language can be daunting, but if you've used the boolean options in a web search engine before, you can master XQL queries in no time. Like with web searches, we start with a hypothesis of our search, add filters to limit our results, and then validate the results that are returned against our hypothesis.

Introduction to XQL: Writing Your First Correlation Rule
Correlation Rules in Cortex XDR and XSIAM are how we can use XQL queries to detect patterns, anomalies or sequences of activities that could indicate malicious behavior, even when each individual event might not appear suspicious on its own. Correlation Rules typically leverage data from multiple datasets, but for our example, we'll keep it simple to alert on failed login attempts to a NGFW, and build on the query later.

PAN-OS and EDLs - Everything You Wanted to Know about External Dynamic Lists
External Dynamic Lists (EDLs) in Palo Alto Firewalls dynamically integrate IPs, URLs, and domains into security policies, reducing change requests. They empower SOCs to manage threats without firewall changes. Despite limitations, EDLs enhance security by automating updates and supporting authentication. Implementing EDLs optimizes security posture and streamlines threat management.

Introduction to XQL: Custom Datasets for Threat Hunting
Both Cortex XDR and XSIAM let you go well beyond endpoint telemetry from the XDR Agent by ingesting custom datasets through the Broker VM. Forwarding Proxmox syslogs, you can analyze failed logins and suspicious system activity directly in XQL. This unlocks the ability to correlate hypervisor events with endpoint, network, and identity data—all in one platform. Tracking brute-force attempts against pvedaemon, custom datasets give you visibility into layers that traditional EDR misses.

Prisma AIRS Series - Part 1: Discovery
AI is spreading faster than most organizations can track it, across apps, APIs, and teams, often without clear visibility or control. This article explores why traditional discovery falls short and how Prisma AIRS approaches AI security as a connected system, starting with Discovery. By building a unified, contextual view of models, data, and interactions; including shadow AI, organizations can finally understand where risk exists and where control is needed. Next, we turn to Assessment; how to test what you've found.

Better AI, Not Less AI: The Case for Explainability in Security Operations
As organizations struggle with alert fatigue, traditional AI security tools fall short by operating as black boxes that offer verdicts without reasoning. Explainable AI (XAI) addresses this by showing analysts why decisions are made across triage, investigation, and response. The result is faster workflows, smarter detection and analysts who build real threat intuition.
