The Cortex ecosystem aims to address the challenges faced by security operations centers (SOCs) by providing a comprehensive solution for proactive security. Traditional SOCs struggle with alert overload, lack of context, manual processes, and limited visibility. Additionally, the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks, particularly ransomware, pose significant threats.
To tackle these issues, Palo Alto Networks offers the Cortex platform—a web- and cloud-based solution that enables tighter control of security operations, a holistic view of security posture, and centralized threat detection, behavioral monitoring, intelligence, asset discovery, and vulnerability assessment.
