Frequently Asked Questions

Why do SOC teams need AI now?

What does a transformed, AI-driven SOC look like in practice?

How does Palo Alto Networks help organizations reimagine their SOC?

Palo Alto Networks supports SOC transformation through an integrated, AI‑driven approach built around platforms like Cortex XSIAM and Cortex XDR, combined with expert services from Unit 42. Key elements include:

1. Consolidated security stack

Combines SIEM, EDR/XDR, SOAR, ASM, and cloud security into a single platform.
Provides unified visibility across endpoint, network, cloud, and identity, so all data flows into one hub for AI‑driven analysis.
Reduces tool sprawl, complexity, redundancy, and engineering overhead.

2. AI‑driven incident response and automation

AI‑driven intelligence filters out non‑threats, often reducing alerts by over 90%.
Automated playbooks can isolate endpoints, revoke credentials, and block malicious IPs without manual intervention.
More incidents are resolved automatically, lowering mean time to detect and respond and freeing analysts for complex investigations.

3. Continuous, expert-backed defense

24/7 monitoring of Cortex XDR or XSIAM environments by Unit 42 security experts.
Proactive threat hunting when new vulnerabilities appear in the wild.
Detailed threat and impact reports plus continuous posture optimization.

4. Proven customer outcomes

Oil & Gas (Fortune 500):
- Legacy SIEM produced massive false positives and required multiple tools for investigation.
- After adopting Cortex XSIAM, false positives dropped from about 90% to virtually none.
- Daily incidents requiring investigation fell from 1,000 to 250.
- Median time to resolution dropped from multiple days to minutes.
Manufacturing (global semiconductor):
- Previously relied on a stack of point solutions with limited visibility and a heavily manual, reactive process.
- Palo Alto Networks consolidated vendors into a unified, intelligent stack (ML‑powered Next‑Generation Firewalls, Cloud‑Delivered Security Services, and Cortex XSIAM).
- Security was shifted left into engineering workflows, improving protection of intellectual property and enabling a “do it right, do it once” approach.

Palo Alto Networks is already working with 97% of the Fortune 100 and 76% of the Forbes Global 2000, as well as all six branches of the U.S. armed forces, to help them rethink how their SOC operates and defend at machine speed.
