Cortex XSOAR: Engineering Security Automation Solutions (PAN-CXESAS)

This four-day course should enable students to integrate their existing security tools with Cortex XSOAR to streamline security processes, accelerate security outcomes, and automate manual security-oriented tasks. This is an update and replacement for the previous (EDU-380) Cortex XSOAR: Automation and Orchestration.


The Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR: Engineering Security Automation Solutions course is a four-day instructor-led training with a blend of lectures and hands-on labs. This training will enable students to use Cortex XSOAR to:

  • Conduct incident investigation and response activities on a phishing campaign
  • Create custom dashboards and generate reports
  • Install multiple engines and configure a load balancing group
  • Use built-in and external integrations to ingest incidents and automate security processes
  • Plan and implement an automation use case by building playbooks and automation scripts


Objectives

Successful completion of this four-day, instructor-led course should enable students to integrate their existing security tools with Cortex XSOAR to streamline security processes, accelerate security outcomes, and automate manual security-oriented

tasks.
