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.

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: 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.
