Hi @H.Zaw245320 

Thanks for your query on LC!

The key difference between "Aggressive mode" vs "Normal" is that- When By default, Protection Mode is set to Normal, where the decoy files on the endpoint are present, but do not interfere with benign applications and end user activity on the endpoint. If you suspect your network has been infected with ransomware, and you need to provide better coverage, you can apply the Aggressive protection mode. Aggressive mode exposes more applications in your environment to the Cortex XDR agent decoy files. However, it also increases the likelihood that benign software is exposed to decoy files, raising false ransomware alerts, and impairing user experience.

This is listed in this article - please expand windows tab and search for Protection Mode - https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/r/Cortex-XDR/Cortex-XDR-Documentation/Set-up-malware-preven...

Give it a like & mark as solution if this helped your query!

Best,
