Cortex XDR Prevent and "Identity Analytics" Module - licensing confusion

ScottCloster — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 18:12:03 GMT

Good day, I am running in circles trying to figure out whether or not I have the access to the "Identity Analytics" module. I'm looking to alert on several Kerberos related alerts, and a few of them require this detection module. Is this module included by default in Cortex XDR Prevent, or does it require Cortex XDR Pro, or is it an add-on for Cortex XDR Prevent that I need to buy?

Thanks.

Hi @ScottCloster, thanks for reaching us using the Live Community.

To use the "Identity Analytics" you need to configure the Cloud Identity Engine to send your directory logs to the XDR tenant, you don't need any add-on or special license. Follow the steps from this document: https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/r/Cortex-XDR/Cortex-XDR-Documentation/Enable-the-Analytics-Engine-and-Identity-Analytics

If this post answers your question, please mark it as the solution.
