Course Overview
The Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR: Engineering Security Automation Solutions course is a four-day instructor-led training with a blend of lectures and hands-on labs. This training will enable students to use Cortex XSOAR to:
- Conduct incident investigation and response activities on a phishing campaign
- Create custom dashboards and generate reports
- Install multiple engines and configure a load balancing group
- Use built-in and external integrations to ingest incidents and automate security processes
- Plan and implement an automation use case by building playbooks and automation scripts
This is an update and replacement for the previous (EDU-380) Cortex XSOAR: Automation and Orchestration. Private EDU-380 classes (based on Cortex XSOAR 6.8) are available upon request.
Remote Lab Connectivity
Students accessing the Palo Alto Networks Remote Lab environment require standard HTTPS access over Port 443 to the following domains:
pla.panwlabs.net locus.panwlabs.net Your corporate network or firewall must allow outbound HTTPS traffic on Port 443 to these domains. We recommend using a modern, HTML5-compliant browser such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
For the best experience, please avoid using Incognito or Private browsing mode.
