Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM: Security Operations, Integration, and Automation

Palo Alto ATC Logo

With the discontinuation of the Cortex XSIAM: Security Operations and Automation (EDU-270) course, Palo Alto Networks now offers two specially designed courses to meet the evolving needs of security teams. By splitting the content into dedicated courses for engineers "Cortex XSIAM: Security Operations, Integration, and Automation" and analysts "Cortex XSIAM: Investigation and Analysis", you will gain in-depth, role-specific expertise and practical skills that are directly aligned to your job roles.

In the English-language online format (dates are marked with an English flag in this case), the course lasts 3 days from 9.00-17.00 (UK Time).

XSIAM is the industry's most comprehensive security incident and asset management platform, providing comprehensive capabilities for securing and managing infrastructure, workloads and applications across multiple environments.

In this training you will learn the key features of Cortex XSIAM. The course is aimed at cybersecurity professionals, especially those in SOC/CERT/CSIRT and engineering functions who want to use XSIAM. The course covers the intricacies of XSIAM, from the basic components to advanced strategies and techniques, including the skills required to configure security integrations, develop automated workflows, manage indicators, and optimize dashboards for improved security operations.
