Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Centralized threat intelligence has streamlined dark web monitoring and real‑time IOC detection
The best features Anomali offers are that it acts as an application that pulls data from different solutions. As I mentioned earlier, we utilize Mandiant, Flashpoint, and other CTI solutions. Using Anomali, I push all the results into it, providing a single UI to see what Flashpoint and Google Mandiant are providing rather than jumping into different platforms, which can be time-consuming. Anomali helps us stay on a single platform and provides the required results. The user interface in Anomali is very good. I have worked in Anomali for five years and think they have a great UI for writing queries and finding specific results much more efficiently than in other solutions where you need to scroll down through different widgets. Anomali has a query-based language, similar to SQL, that helps us dig out specific results, whether vulnerability-related or concerning threat actors and TTPs. We can also perform string-based searches. I think it's an awesome feature. Furthermore, regarding integration, Anomali has capabilities to integrate with different downstream applications such as Palo Alto, allowing us to create playbooks to block domains, URLs, or IPs directly within the firewall. Anomali has positively impacted my organization by reducing the time required to find intel specific to our needs. We can create our own queries specific to our organization and pull out results related to any posts within the dark web or any activities from threat actors targeting us. This capability enables us to create saved searches that provide exact results. I estimate that Anomali has saved me about 30% of my time.
