## See How Palo Alto Networks Performs in the XDR Market

"Its company vision --- a world where each day is more secure than the one before --- aligns with its product vision, a prevention-first approach and empowering analysts to detect and respond effectively."

\--- "The Forrester Wave^™^: Extended Detection And Response Platforms, Q2 2024" report which we believe underscores our leadership in the cybersecurity field.

Cortex XDR received the distinction as a Leader in the latest Forrester Wave, earning recognition for its:

* Commitment to disruption, with monetary investment in R\&D and delivery of high-quality features.

* High-quality analyst experience where Cortex XDR provides context within alerts.

* Enhancements centered on enabling more platform features and analytics for identity and cloud.

Security operations teams on the front lines of cyber defense are often overwhelmed by countless alerts and complex tools. Extended detection and response platforms, such as Cortex XDR^®^ reduces these challenges, processing large amounts of data to automatically detect threats, guiding analysts to precise remediation.

With Cortex XDR, security operations centers can do more than expedite detection and response processes. They can boost their overall security posture and reclaim valuable time.
