Cortex XSIAM for Investigation and Analysis (XSIAM-IA) Training

This course trains security analysts to investigate incidents, analyze assets, and uncover threats using Cortex XSIAM and XQL-driven insights.

Course Overview

The Cortex XSIAM for Investigation and Analysis course is a two-day, instructor-led training that provides in-depth exposure to Cortex XSIAM, Palo Alto Networks’ comprehensive security incident and asset management platform. This course focuses on enabling security teams to investigate incidents, analyze threats, and derive actionable insights across complex, multi-environment infrastructures.

Throughout the course, participants will explore the core architecture and key capabilities of Cortex XSIAM, with an emphasis on incident investigation and analysis. Learners will gain hands-on experience investigating security incidents, analyzing assets and artifacts, interpreting causality chains, and querying security data using XQL to uncover meaningful insights. The course also introduces advanced tools and resources used for comprehensive incident analysis.

This course is designed for cybersecurity professionals working in SOC, CERT, CSIRT, and Security Analyst roles who are responsible for investigating alerts, managing cases, and analyzing security incidents. It covers XSIAM concepts from foundational components to advanced investigation techniques, including navigation of case management workflows and the use of automation to enhance investigative efficiency.

Course Update Notice:
Palo Alto Networks has replaced the former Cortex XSIAM for Security Operations and Automation (EDU-270) with two role-based courses:

• Cortex XSIAM for Investigation and Analysis – a two-day course designed for XSIAM analysts

• Cortex XSIAM: Security Operations, Integration, and Automation – a three-day course designed for XSIAM engineers

Students may choose to attend one or both courses depending on their role and responsibilities.
