The Palo Alto Networks Certified XSOAR Engineer certification is designed for engineers responsible for deploying, configuring, integrating, and managing Cortex XSOAR in security operations environments.
It focuses on the technical skills required to build and maintain XSOAR infrastructure, including playbook development, use case planning, threat intelligence management, and system integration. Candidates learn how to configure XSOAR to support automated incident response workflows at scale.
This certification is particularly relevant for XSOAR engineers, automation engineers, playbook developers, and SOC engineers responsible for building and managing security orchestration environments.
There are no formal prerequisites for this certification.
Candidates should have a working knowledge of security operations processes, including incident response workflows and common SOC tools such as SIEM, EDR, and threat intelligence platforms. Proficiency in Python is important, along with familiarity with REST APIs, JSON data formats, and automation principles.
Experience with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and understanding of integration methodologies is also beneficial when preparing for this exam.
Modules Covered
The certification focuses on five core engineering domains:
These modules reflect the core responsibilities of engineers who build and manage Cortex XSOAR environments to support security automation and orchestration.
The XSOAR Engineer certification focuses on the skills required to deploy and manage Cortex XSOAR environments that support automated security operations.
Candidates learn how to plan and configure system authentication, deploy engines, manage Marketplace pack installations, and troubleshoot integration instances. The certification also covers use case development, including incident lifecycle management, classifier and mapper configuration, and playbook-driven incident handling workflows.
Playbook development is one of the most significant areas of focus. Candidates explore how to build, customize, and debug playbooks using task types, sub-playbooks, filters, and transformers. Automation script creation is also covered, along with job configuration and context data management.
The certification also addresses threat intelligence management, including how engineers configure indicators, manage enrichment sources, establish indicator relationships, and share threat intelligence with external security services.
By completing this certification, professionals demonstrate the ability to deploy, integrate, and manage Cortex XSOAR environments that power effective security automation and orchestration across the SOC.
