Hi,

Can you provide me information on how cortex xdr agent perform real time threat detection ?

1. does it is detect when file is dowloaded and prevent from downloading ?

2. does it prevent file execution ?

I like to know the process, I am looking to adopt the cortex xdr for endpoint protection.

Thanks,

Please refer to this article to understand how Cortex XDR does threat protection.

Cortex XDR will not be able to prevent someone from downloading malware. That's a NGFW feature.
Cortex XDR has several protections modules that will activate during execution. Please refer to the above provided link.
