Resumen del Curso
This 3-day instructor-led course provides in-depth training on Cortex XDR, Palo Alto Networks' powerful extended detection and response platform. You will gain hands-on expertise in security operations, incident investigation, and system optimization to effectively protect modern environments. Throughout this course you will explore the key features of Cortex XDR.
The course is designed to enable cybersecurity professionals, particularly those in SOC/CERT/CSIRT and engineering roles, to use XDR. The course reviews XDR intricacies, from fundamental components to advanced strategies and techniques, including skills needed to configure security integrations, develop workflows, manage indicators, and optimize dashboards for enhanced security operations.
This is an update and replacement for the previous EDU-260 course, specifically intended for the individuals who are responsible for configuring Cortex XDR and managing integrations, data ingestion, and security policies as opposed to the analysts who investigate cases and issues. A retirement date for the EDU-260 and EDU-262 will be announced once the replacement course for EDU-262 is released (date TBA). For now the EDU-260 and EDU-262 will remain available, in addition to this new course offering
