[{"type":"text","content":"Early adopters reaping the benefits of improved SOC operations and efficiencies \nSANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Delivering on the promise to help organizations leverage massive scales of data for their defenses, Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) today announced the general availability of Cortex® XSIAM, a breakthrough autonomous security operations platform powering today's modern secure operations center (SOC) and fundamentally changing the way data, analytics and automation are used across enterprise and cloud security operations.\nEarlier this year, Cortex XSIAM was made available to a number of top organizations through the XSIAM Design Partner Program. The design partners spanned healthcare, logistics, design and manufacturing, technology, public sector, and entertainment verticals. The common challenges these organizations face include overwhelming alert volumes accompanied by a high number of false positives, lack of visibility across all parts of the organization, including cloud environments, and excessive manual overhead associated with managing numerous siloed tools.\n\"The SOC is where some of the best cybersecurity professionals work, and it is time that they have the right platform to get their jobs done effectively. We want to give our customers a new approach to SOC operations with a focus on results, efficiency and productivity,\" said Lee Klarich, chief product officer, Palo Alto Networks. \"Cortex XSIAM establishes an autonomous SOC where organizations can respond to threats in a fraction of the time it takes today, and analysts can focus on the highest priority incidents. The SOC of the future will be built on AI and automation — any other approach is destined for failure.\"\nPalo Alto Networks operates its own SOC on Cortex XSIAM and has seen the benefits of intelligent data integration, machine learning-based threat models, extensive automation and proactive analysis of the IT environment to reduce the attack surface. The Palo Alto Networks SOC processes over one trillion events per month, with Cortex XSIAM automatically handling the vast majority of those events. On average, the Cortex-powered SOC detects threats in 10 seconds and responds to high priority threats in one minute, with an 80% reduction in alerts that SOC analysts need to analyze.\nThe feedback on XSIAM has been strong.
