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.

Comprehensive endpoint visibility and multilayer security have strengthened compliance and protected removable media in critical environments
I work with the data sanitization feature, including USB. When it comes to data integrity, it is not meant for data integrity; it will modify your data. It will not look into your content, but it will look into embedded objects, such as hyperlinks, scripts, and any other embedded object, macro, and images. It will remove that potential malicious content, sanitize the hyperlink, remove the macro, sanitize the embedded objects, and remove the scripts if they are attached in your document to prevent you from zero-day attacks. MetaDefender Endpoint has an excellent malware detection feature; it has around thirty plus different anti-malware engines, so the detection ratio can go up to ninety-nine point nine percent. The vulnerability assessment feature definitely helps to address system vulnerabilities. You will have visibility of the vulnerability, and it is a continuous assessment. You will get complete visibility of your environment and of your endpoint.

Training labs have strengthened mobile app security and reduced vulnerabilities in our projects
A way SecureFlag can be improved would be to include video content where someone explains the approaches related to jailbroken or rooting situations. I know some videos were already there, but it would be better if more could be added. I do not remember participating in the initial setup of SecureFlag, but I might have. We used it during the initial setup, and it was mostly straightforward. I did not face any challenges because it was mostly for learning purposes. The single sign-on feature means we do not need to enter the username and password every time, which is one good advantage.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"Altogether, it is going to be complete endpoint protection and visibility."
"SecureFlag has positively impacted my organization by enhancing our skills."
"SecureFlag has positively impacted my organization in various ways because including the security vulnerabilities and explaining how an attacker can exploit them benefits both our organization and developers, and we have learned a lot."
"Many improvements have occurred after implementing SecureFlag's secure coding practices in our applications, as we did not face production outages and deployment times became faster."
 

Cons

"When it comes to core analysis and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"The deployment is pretty hard."
"There are some false positives."
"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"The negative aspect is that it only provides visibility; you require integration with multiple products to get complete control."
"I would rate the technical support of SecureFlag as seven out of ten."
"I noticed some errors, particularly some hanging in the labs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
