Introducing Cortex AgentiX: Build, Deploy and Govern the Agentic Workforce of the Future

The future isn't just automated. It’s autonomous.

Everywhere you look, AI is taking the driver's seat. But as this new era of productivity unfolds, so does a new class of threat. AI-driven attacks are now moving at speeds up to 100X faster than any human-driven operation can hope to counter.

This is the new speed gap. For too long, security and IT teams have been locked in a losing battle. Automation, our trusted tool, saved countless hours on repetitive tasks. But rigid playbooks, built for known routines, flatline against the dynamic, AI-powered threats of today.

To win this race, you don’t just need to be faster. You need a new operational model.

Welcome to the Autonomous Enterprise

Today, we’re delivering the foundation for a new era, built on the AI-driven Cortex platform. Meet Cortex^® AgentiX™, the industry’s most secure platform to build, deploy, and govern the AI agent workforce of the future.

As the next generation of Cortex XSOAR^®, AgentiX is our answer to the autonomous future, built to revolutionize both security and IT operations. We are starting where the need is most urgent: the Security Operations Center (SOC).

This isn't just automation; it’s the end of manual toil. We are freeing your experts to transform the SOC, not just chase alerts. AgentiX delivers a decisive advantage, enabling you to achieve up to a 98% reduction in Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) with 75% less manual work, freeing your team for high-value strategic initiatives.

From Automation to Autonomy: Built on a Decade of Trust

Unleashing autonomous agents without tight control is a recipe for disaster. That’s why we built AgentiX on our proven Cortex platform, delivering the full power of agentic AI with the control, traceability and enterprise-grade permissions you demand.

Unlike siloed tools that automate single tasks, AgentiX delivers end-to-end workflow autonomy. This new AI workforce is not built from scratch; it is trained on the battle-tested expertise of 1.2 billion real-world playbook executions from over a decade of security automation leadership.

The result is a workforce of intelligent agents that can dynamically plan, reason and execute complex solutions just as a human expert would, but at machine speed.

Your New AI Workforce, Ready on Day One

AgentiX works as a seamless extension of your operations, with prebuilt security agents ready to deploy:

• Threat Intelligence Agent: Aggregates and enriches threat intelligence to uncover related cases and emerging adversary techniques.
• Email Investigation Agent: Automates a full-spectrum email threat response, from search and analysis to containment, across all platforms.
• Endpoint Investigation Agent: Delivers rapid analysis, forensics collection and host containment across every major EDR platform.
• Network Security Agent: Orchestrates threat response, policy control and network management across Palo Alto Networks and third-party firewalls.
• Cloud Security Agent: Secures cloud environments end-to-end, from posture and application protection to detection and response.
• IT Agent: Streamlines enterprise IT operations by automating upgrades, patching, troubleshooting and user onboarding.

Autonomy with 100% Control: The AgentiX Advantage

You cannot have autonomy without trust. Cortex AgentiX is built on a rock-solid foundation of enterprise-grade governance.

• Full Transparency, No Black Boxes: Get complete visibility into an agent’s reasoning, how it interprets your request, the plan it creates and the actions it executes. Every step is logged and fully auditable.
• Granular Access Controls: Agents are bound by the same role-based access controls and permissions as your human analysts, operating strictly within your organizational policies.
• Human-in-the-Loop Approval: You maintain final oversight. Flag any sensitive action to require human validation before critical system changes are executed.

Build Your Vision of Autonomy

Beyond the SOC, AgentiX is the platform for your entire autonomous enterprise. You can rapidly create powerful, custom AI agents with an elegant GenAI builder. This allows you to extend autonomy to any security or IT challenge, leveraging our library of over 1,000 prebuilt integrations and native MCP support, all protected by the same robust guardrails.

Seamless AI, Integrated Everywhere

We believe autonomy must be built in, not bolted on. Cortex AgentiX delivers this power natively across your security ecosystem.

Cortex AgentiX is available today, embedded in Cortex XSIAM^® and Cortex Cloud, delivering autonomous, agentic workflows where you need them most. The standalone AgentiX platform and the embedded version in Cortex XDR^® will be available in early 2026, advancing your organization into the era of agentic AI.
