Gain hands-on experience investigating security incidents and analyzing threat activity using Cortex XDR.
This two-day instructor-led course combines focused lectures with hands-on simulations to help security professionals investigate cases, analyze assets and artifacts, and use advanced analytics and automation to support effective incident response.
This instructor-led training introduces participants to Cortex XDR, Palo Alto Networks’ extended detection and response platform designed to unify endpoint data, analytics, and response workflows. The course provides a detailed view of how Cortex XDR supports investigation, detection, and case management across modern security operations.
Participants will learn how to investigate cases by analyzing alerts, assets, and causality chains, query and analyze logs using XQL, and apply advanced tools for forensic analysis and vulnerability investigation.
Through guided simulations, learners will also work with platform automation, dashboards, and reports to support efficient and consistent security investigations.
Participants should have a foundational understanding of cybersecurity principles and prior experience analyzing security incidents using investigation and response tools.

At DataCipher, we offer our training courses in both traditional full-day and convenient half-day formats. Our half-day classes are specifically designed for IT professionals who cannot be away from their workplaces for consecutive full days. This flexible schedule allows participants to dedicate a few hours to learning and then return to their regular work responsibilities.
The curriculum for both the full-day and half-day formats is identical. The primary difference is that the half-day classes spread the coursework over a more extended period, providing a balanced approach to professional education. DataCipher has been successfully running these half-day training sessions for several years, receiving consistently positive feedback from our customers. They appreciate the flexibility and report that the extended timeframe facilitates a deeper understanding of the material, as it gives them more time to absorb and reflect on the information learned.
