Palo Alto Networks announces the end-of-life of the hosted MineMeld™ application in AutoFocus™ on August 1, 2021. We are hoping you already picked a transition path based on email communications that were sent out regarding this announcement. If not, we are providing a list of recommended migration options, including our new Cortex™ XSOAR Threat Intel Management offering.
The hosted MineMeld application in AutoFocus will remain active through July 31, 2021. The open-source version of Minemeld will continue to exist and be supported by the open source community. As part of this process, we will guide you through every step of your migration. Here are a few options for your consideration if you have not been able to decide the migration path yet:
Upgrade to Cortex XSOAR Threat Intel Management with a limited-time discount offer.
Try the Cortex XSOAR Community Edition for free to test-drive how Cortex XSOAR Threat Intel Management can fulfill your MineMeld needs and many other use cases.
Migrate to an Open-Source instance of MineMeld, which is maintained by the open-source community.
Cortex XSOAR takes a new approach with native threat intelligence management, unifying aggregation, scoring, and sharing of threat intelligence with playbook-driven automation. All existing integrations and use cases from hosted MineMeld have been ported to Cortex XSOAR Threat Intelligence Management to ensure continuity of existing use cases.
If you choose to upgrade to Cortex XSOAR Threat Intel Management:
Q: What will happen to MineMeld?
The hosted MineMeld application is going to be removed from AutoFocus on 08/01/21.
Q: What is the migration path for existing AutoFocus MineMeld customers?
Q: Will MineMeld be offered as part of Cortex XSOAR?
No. Hosted Minemeld will reach end of life on 08/01/21. XSOAR Threat Intel Management offers more capabilities than MineMeld, and is a superior choice. Get more details from the datasheet.
Q: Can we still use the open-source version of MineMeld?
Yes. You still have access to the open-source version, but you will have to download & maintain the application yourself. Palo Alto Networks will not support this version, it will be managed by the open source community.
Q: When we upgrade to XSOAR Threat Intel Management, do we get access to AutoFocus?
Yes, XSOAR Threat Intel Management includes a single AutoFocus user license. Additional AutoFocus user licenses can be purchased if needed.
Q: I have heavy customization done on my MineMeld instance, does that get migrated to TIM?
Yes, custom MineMeld miners & prototypes can be migrated to Cortex XSOAR Threat Intel Management. Any custom miners & prototypes will need to be ported to XSOAR and our Professional Services team can help you with the process.
Q: Is XSOAR Threat Intel Management on-prem or cloud based?
XSOAR Threat Intel Management is available both on-prem and in the cloud.
Q: I have created Office 365 EDLs in my MineMeld environment, will those be migrated to XSOAR Threat Intel Management?
Yes. This capability is available out of the box with Cortex XSOAR pre-built playbooks and content packs.
Q: Is the limited time discount available for all types of deployments
No. The limited time discount is only available to existing AutoFocus customers who choose to migrate to Cortex XSOAR.
Q: What will I gain if we choose to migrate?
A lot!:
