Palo Alto Networks: Cortex™ XSOAR 6.8: Automation and Orchestration

Security-operations (SecOps), or security, orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) engineers, managed security service providers (MSSPs), service delivery partners, system integrators, and professional services engineers

This training is designed to enable a SOC, CERT, CSIRT, or SOAR engineer to start working with Cortex XSOAR integrations, playbooks, incident-page layouts, and other system features to facilitate resource orchestration, process automation, case management, and analyst workflow.

The course includes coverage of a complete playbook-development process for automating a typical analyst workflow to address phishing incidents. This end-toend view of the development process provides a framework for more focused discussions of individual topics that are covered in the course.

1. Core Functionality and Feature Sets
2. Enabling and Configuring Integrations
3. Playbook Development
4. Classification and Mapping
5. Layout Builder
6. Solution Architecture
7. Docker
8. Automation Development and Debugging
9. The Marketplace and Content Management
10. Indicators and Threat Intelligence Management
11. Jobs and Job Scheduling
12. Users and Role‑Based Access Controls (RBAC)
13. Integration Development

Participants must complete the Cortex XSOAR Analyst digital learning. Participants who have experience with scripting, the use of Python and JavaScript, and the use of JSON data objects will likely be able to apply what they learn more quickly than participants without such experience. However, completion of the course does not require proficiency in writing code.
