More and more enterprises are reaching out to Managed Detection and Response providers (MDR) to increase their security posture. This is an increasing trend because the threat landscape is becoming more and more complex and the attack surface keeps getting bigger. Many companies reach out to MDR to offload investigating, responding to and managing alerts. That's why Palo Alto Networks recently launched the Unit 42 MDR service, an MDR service for Cortex XDR, delivered by the Palo Unit 42 team. Our experts will work for you 24/7 to stop attacks with continuous monitoring, proactive threat hunting, alert triage, investigation and response services allowing your team to focus on what matters.

Cyber attacks have become more sophisticated today. This new reality is motivating organizations to opt for defense-in-depth strategies across their on-prem, private, and public cloud deployments. The defense-in-depth approach implements multiple layers of security to reduce the attack surface. Together, Web Application Firewall (WAF) and VM-Series firewall provide comprehensive security, particularly for customers who want to provide a Zero Trust security method to protect not just inbound, but also outbound and east-west traffic. Read this expert-written blog to learn more about the capabilities of these two solutions.
The latest in our Cloud NGFW how-to video series, this tutorial shows customers how to configure Outbound decryption in a few simple steps.
As the attack surface keeps getting bigger and attacks are becoming more and more sophisticated, threats are a huge concern for any security professional. The amount of information you get might be overwhelming and it might be difficult to know where to start.
So let's start with the Threat Logs. You will find these inside the WebGUI > Monitor > Threat tab. There, you'll see events ranging from informational to critical in severity. See the example below, where I'll use a Critical event as an example.
When migrating locally managed firewalls, plan the transition to Panorama Management. Determine which firewalls are going to be managed by Panorama and start to plan the device group hierarchy, templates, and template stacks for the environment. It is important to keep in mind which firewalls will share common policies when designing the structure.
