AI-Driven SecOps: Unifying Controls, Automating Response, and Advancing the Modern SOC Using Cortex XSIAM

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and overwhelming, organizations are increasingly turning to AI-driven security operations to modernize their SOCs, streamline response, and stay ahead of attackers. This paper reviews Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex XSIAM, an AI-driven security operations platform that consolidates data, automates threat response, and enhances SOC efficiency through advanced analytics and automation. It highlights how the platform addresses modern security challenges—like alert fatigue, tool sprawl, and manual triage—by unifying detection, investigation, and remediation in a streamlined, AI-powered environment.
