Cortex XDR
One picture of the attack, from endpoint to cloud.
Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR connects data from endpoints, network, cloud, identity and email, and uses AI to detect and prioritize attacks, investigate them and respond. ELPC deploys and tunes the platform and integrates it with your security stack.
About the product
What is Cortex XDR?
Cortex XDR is an extended detection and response (XDR) platform that unifies data from multiple sources - endpoints, network traffic, cloud, identity and email - into one picture of an attack: what happened, where it started and what needs to be stopped.
It combines endpoint prevention with behavioral analytics, correlation of events into an attack timeline, and response tools. It's a particularly good fit for organizations already running Palo Alto Networks firewalls that want to connect network and endpoint.
What you get with Cortex XDR.
Behavioral analytics
AI-based detection of anomalous user and device activity.
Correlation & investigation
Stitches events into an attack timeline and finds the root cause.
Response
Isolate devices and stop processes, including AI-assisted response.
Custom detection
BIOCs, IOCs and correlation rules tailored to the organization.
Managed services
Optional Unit 42 MDR and threat hunting.

The ELPC difference
Not just a license - a managed service.
The product is only half the solution. ELPC’s team designs, deploys and operates it as part of your IT and security department.
- Scoping, gradual deployment and policy tuning
- Connecting data sources: network, identity and cloud
- Integration with Palo Alto Networks firewalls
- Alert handling and first response to incidents
- Vendor due diligence: DPA, data location and retention vs. Amendment 13 and GDPR
What is Cortex XDR?
Cortex XDR is Palo Alto Networks' extended detection and response platform. It connects data from endpoints, network, cloud, identity and email, and uses AI to detect, prioritize and investigate attacks and respond to them.
What's the difference between EDR and XDR?
EDR focuses on endpoints. XDR adds more data sources - network, cloud, identity and email - and connects them, so you see the whole attack rather than just one machine.
Is Cortex XDR only for Palo Alto firewall customers?
No, but the integration shines when you run Palo Alto Networks firewalls, because network and endpoint data come together in one picture.
Is there a managed service?
Yes. Palo Alto Networks offers Unit 42 MDR and threat hunting, and ELPC supports deployment, tuning and integration with your security stack.
How much does Cortex XDR cost?
Pricing depends on the number of endpoints, data sources and data retention. After a scoping call you get a written quote.
How does Cortex XDR help with compliance?
It provides monitoring and logging of security events - evidence for logging and monitoring controls in ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Because it collects user-activity data, define retention and employee transparency in line with privacy law.
