Overview

Join us for an immersive, hands-on Ultimate Test Drive (UTD) workshop focused on transforming your Security Operations Center with the Cortex SecOps Platform. Designed for SOC analysts, network security engineers, and cybersecurity professionals, this session showcases how to automate response workflows and enhance your organization's security posture.

Throughout this workshop, you will explore the power of a unified SOC by getting hands-on with Cortex XDR and Cortex XSIAM. You'll experience real-world case studies to see how these tools rapidly detect, investigate, and mitigate sophisticated threats across your network and endpoints.

Technical Details Explored

  • Extended Detection and Response (XDR): Walk through a Remote Code Exploit case study to see how Cortex XDR prevents zero-day attacks and stops lateral movement.

  • Unified SOC Platform (XSIAM): Discover the power of AI-driven security operations, including integrated SOAR capabilities that automate data handling, triage, and response at machine speed.

  • Exposure & Vulnerability Management: Learn how to proactively manage vulnerabilities and implement automated mitigation strategies using Cortex XDR.

  • Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR): Investigate a shadow credentials escalation scenario using Cortex XSIAM to protect critical identity infrastructure.

  • Advanced Email Security: See how the Cortex platform integrates telemetry to thwart complex, multi-stage phishing and email-borne attacks.

Key Takeaways

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Accelerate Threat Triage: Use AI-driven analytics to connect events and shorten your mean time to respond (MTTR) from days to minutes.

  • Automate Security Operations: Leverage out-of-the-box SOAR functionality within XSIAM to automate playbooks and streamline incident resolution.

  • Gain Comprehensive Visibility: Unify telemetry from endpoints, network, cloud, and identity sources into a cohesive defense ecosystem.

  • Prevent Advanced Exploits: Apply behavioral analytics and machine learning to proactively block remote code exploits and unauthorized privilege escalations.
