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.
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.
Platformizing the AI Decade with Palo Alto Networks
Palo Alto Networks' recent acquisitions signal a structural shift from portfolio integration to true platformization for the AI decade. By securing AI pipelines, embedding identity enforcement, converging observability, and governing autonomous endpoints, the platform aligns to machine-speed risk—positioning enterprises to architect resilient, future-ready security rather than react to disruption.

Introduction to XQL: Building Your First Widget
Widgets transform XQL query results into interactive visualizations, aiding SOC analysts in identifying trends and anomalies. This article demonstrates using widgets to graph failed GlobalProtect logins, helping detect brute-force attacks and misconfigurations, and providing proactive assistance to users.
Automating Third-Party Risk with Dataminr + Cortex XSOAR
The gap between collecting threat feeds and applying real-world threat intelligence to your environment is where most programs fail. Security teams know something happened, but struggle to detect it early, determine relevance, and trigger consistent response actions. Integrating Dataminr's AI-powered real-time threat intelligence with Cortex XSOAR enables your SOC to be ahead of physical and cyber threats correlated to your environment.
Operationalizing Threat Intelligence with Cortex: A Maturity Model for SOCs
Transforming raw data into actionable intelligence is crucial for cybersecurity. This article explores the stages of operationalizing threat intelligence, from basic ingestion to fully automated, proactive security operations, using Cortex TIM. Learn how to enhance your SOC's capabilities, reduce manual effort and shift from reactive to proactive defense.
Integrating Dataminr into a Palo Alto Networks–Centric Platform
Dataminr Pulse for Cyber Risk integrates external real-time intelligence into Palo Alto Networks' platform, enabling security teams to act on early warning signals before threats impact internal systems. This approach shifts security from reactive to prevention-based by leveraging AI-analyzed data from over a million public sources to detect risks outside organizational perimeters.
The Evolution of Cortex: Building the Future of Security Operations
Built on a decade of innovation and strategic acquisitions, Cortex unifies data from endpoints, networks, and cloud environments, empowering organizations to efficiently combat advanced cyber threats with minimal manual intervention.
