Hello Everyone,
I am new to Cortex XDR. I wanted to ask what is searchHost.exe? and if it is safe when it generates alarm (level Medium) in Cortex XDR? If not then any recommendations?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for reaching LiveCommunity.
SearchHost.exe is a legitimate Windows component, to discard any issues please check Microsoft's documentation on how to detect if this process has been compromised.
Also, check on the alerts Cortex is giving you, check what is triggering it.
