The Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR: Prevention and Deployment (EDU-260) and Cortex XDR: Investigation and Response (EDU-262) courses are instructor-led training that will enable you to deploy Cortex XDR and use its threat investigation and response functionality.


Cortex XDR: Prevention and Deployment (EDU-260)
This instructor-led course will guide you in preventing attacks on your endpoints. After an overview of the Cortex XDR components, you’ll dive into the Cortex XDR management console, learn how to install agents, create security profiles and policies, and explore in detail all of the threat prevention capabilities of Cortex XDR, including exploit prevention, malware prevention, and behavioural-based threat prevention.
Successful completion of this instructor-led course with hands-on lab activities should enable you to:
- Describe the architecture and components of the Cortex XDR family
- Use the Cortex XDR management console, including reporting
- Create Cortex XDR agent installation packages, endpoint groups, and policies
- Deploy Cortex XDR agents on endpoints
- Create and manage Exploit and Malware Prevention profiles
- Investigate alerts and prioritize them using starring and exclusion policies
- Tune Security profiles using Cortex XDR exceptions
- Perform and track response actions in the Action Center
- Perform basic troubleshooting related to Cortex XDR agents
- Deploy a Broker VM and activate the Local Agents Settings applet
- Understand Cortex XDR deployment concepts and activation requirements
- Work with the Customer Support Portal and Cortex XDR Gateway for authentication and authorization
Cortex XDR: Investigation and Response (EDU-262)
This instructor-led course teaches you how to use the Incidents pages of the Cortex XDR management console to investigate attacks. It explains causality chains, detectors in the Analytics Engine, alerts versus logs, log stitching, and the concepts of causality and analytics.
You will learn how to analyze alerts using the Causality and Timeline Views and how to use advanced response actions, such as remediation suggestions, the EDL service, and remote script execution.
Multiple modules focus on how to leverage the collected data. You will create simple search queries in one module and XDR rules in another. The course demonstrates how to use specialized investigation views to visualize artifact-related data, such as IP and Hash Views. Additionally, it provides an introduction to XDR Query Language (XQL). The course concludes with Cortex XDR external-data-collection capabilities, including the use of Cortex XDR API to receive external alerts.
Successful completion of this instructor-led course with hands-on lab activities should enable participants to:
- Investigate and manage incidents
- Describe the Cortex XDR causality and analytics concepts
- Analyze alerts using the Causality and Timeline Views
- Work with Cortex XDR Pro actions such as remote script execution
- Create and manage on-demand and scheduled search queries in the Query Center
- Create and manage the Cortex XDR rules BIOC and IOC
- Working with Cortex XDR assets and inventories
- Write XQL queries to search datasets and visualize the result sets
- Work with Cortex XDR’s external-data collection
