Cortex XSOAR is an evolution of the Demisto® platform, which was acquired by Palo Alto Networks in March 2019.\nPalo Alto Networks is redefining the security orchestration, automation and response category by making threat intelligence management a core component.

It makes no sense to have SOAR without native threat intel.\"\n\"The integration of threat management into security orchestration and automation is an inevitable evolution for improving security operations,\" notes Jon Oltsik, senior principal analyst and fellow at the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). \"Cortex XSOAR brings the right pieces together. Until now, operationalizing vital threat intelligence data has been difficult or even impossible as it requires time, experience, and resources that are beyond the capabilities of many organizations. A platform like Cortex XSOAR acts as a security operations and analytics platform architecture, or SOAPA, for analyzing and operationalizing cyber threat intelligence. The benefit? Bringing the value of threat intel to the masses.\" \nWith Cortex XSOAR, customers are able to:\nStandardize and automate processes for any security use case: Easily automate hundreds of security use cases with playbooks that orchestrate response actions across more tha...
