Cannot add BIOC rule to restriction profiles

Hello, I'm receiving malware incidents with files signed by the same signer entity. However, Cortex XDR often only detects these files without blocking them. I want to prevent this behavior by creating a BIOC rule that detects processes with that specific signer and converting it into a prevention rule. However, when I try to add the BIOC rule...

XSOAR community or Trial Version

Hi All, From posts/discussions year or so ago it looks like there was a XSOAR community edition or trial edition available for people who want to evaluate or learn the platform. However, I cannot find any where to download the version or any other way to build PoC environment. Is there anything out there that I can use for PoC purposes? Thanks

Dead Space

This has been bothering me for a while. Look at all this useless space that is taken up now! 1/3 of the screen is useless. I wish I could scroll it away, but we are forced to deal with it. The information I need to actually review is even further down in the bottom 40% of the screen.

XSIAM - Data Patterns

Hi. Please, a question about Data Patterns in Cortex XSIAM. Once the connection from the Broker VM to the Windows server (SMB) is configured, the connection is verified and displayed under Modules -> Data Security -> Storage Buckets, how is it linked to previously created Data Patterns and Data Profiles?. Thank you in advanced. Regards.

Quarantined Files not appearing in Action Center

Hi there, We are having issues with files being quarantined on BIOCs but they are not appearing in the Action Center-->File Quarantine. We have verified both Broker VM and local machines experiencing this issue are not anywhere near storage quota. We can see the quarantine appearing in the trapsd.log file and we can see the packets making...

Is there an API to add IPs to Cortex XDR EDL programmatically?

Hi community, I'm looking for a way to programmatically add IP addresses to the Cortex XDR External Dynamic List (EDL) via the XDR public API — ideally using a Python script. Currently, I can see that the EDL is referenced in the Audit Log API as an AUDIT_ENTITY value, but I cannot find any dedicated API endpoint to add or manage IPs in the EDL ...

Username Generalization Playbook

Hey all, i'm hoping that someone has already started something like this and can get me a few steps past the starting line but as we know, in a corporate environment, there are various ways that usernames come across (abc123, first.last, domain/abc123, domain/first.last, fqdn....etc) from different log sources. This creates complexity for playbo...

dataset xdr_data field auth_outcome_reason codes table

we often see entries in dataset xdr_data where auth_outcome = "FAILURE" and auth_outcome_reason contains a code number (e.g. 14, 18, 25, …). It seems that these codes are PAN internal and I could not find a table explaining where these codes come from and what they mean. Does anybody know the explanation of these codes? Thanks

Hi team, I would like to confirm the behavior of Cortex XDR Pro regarding USB devices: Does Cortex XDR perform any automatic malware scan when a USB device is connected to an endpoint? If not, what protections are applied at connection time (e.g., device control, behavioral detection, execution monitoring)? Is scanning of removable media only p...
