Every Cortex XDR alert, autonomously resolved.
Simbian AI agents natively integrate with Palo Alto Cortex XDR to autonomously investigate and respond to endpoint incidents. Continuous containment at machine speed — no playbooks, no analyst bottlenecks.

Automated Cortex XDR Alert Triage and Endpoint Response
Simbian agents connect to the Cortex XDR API to execute response actions, query endpoint data, and contain threats across your Palo Alto-protected environment.
Endpoint Isolation & Containment
Instantly isolate compromised endpoints through Cortex XDR's agent isolation API — severing network connectivity while maintaining management channel access.
XQL Query Investigation
Autonomously run XQL queries against Cortex XDR data lake to trace process execution, network connections, and file operations across affected endpoints.
Incident & Alert Triage
Ingest Cortex XDR incidents and their constituent alerts, applying AI reasoning to prioritize and classify threats based on cross-domain context.
Automated Response Actions
Execute endpoint scan, file quarantine, process termination, and script execution directly through Cortex XDR response APIs — closing the remediation loop automatically.
Cross-Platform Context
Correlate Cortex XDR endpoint findings with SIEM, identity, and network signals to give every incident the full blast-radius context before containment decisions.
Context Lake™ Enrichment
Every Cortex XDR incident is enriched with org-specific tribal knowledge, SOPs, past investigations, and analyst feedback along with security telemetry from across your environment.
Use AI to Automate Cortex XDR Alerts
Most SOC teams spend 80% of their time on alerts that turn out to be false positives. Simbian closes them in seconds.

A real-world investigation, end to end. From incident to verdict in 28 seconds — every reasoning step auditable.
Four Steps to Autonomous Endpoint Defense with Cortex XDR
From API key to automated incident containment, Simbian handles your Cortex XDR response lifecycle without playbooks or XSOAR configurations.
Connect
Simbian connects to Palo Alto Cortex XDR via the Cortex XDR API using API key authentication with a security-level key. No agents to deploy, no firewall rules.
Monitor
AI agents continuously ingest Cortex XDR incidents, alerts, and endpoint telemetry — covering your entire Palo Alto-protected fleet around the clock.
Investigate
For every incident, Simbian runs XQL queries against the Cortex data lake, traces causality chains, and correlates with external intelligence to map the complete attack path.
Respond
Execute endpoint isolation, file quarantine, process kill, and remediation scripts directly through Cortex XDR APIs. Every action is logged and policy-governed.
Real Threats. Autonomous Outcomes.

Isolate Ransomware Endpoints Before Encryption Spreads
When Cortex XDR detects ransomware behavior, Simbian immediately isolates the endpoint, queries the data lake for lateral movement indicators, and blocks similar activity fleet-wide — all in under 2 minutes.
Quarantine Malicious Files Across the Fleet
Cortex XDR identifies a malicious file on one endpoint. Simbian queries XQL to find every instance of that file hash across the deployment, quarantines all copies, and delivers a complete distribution map to your team.
Contain Exploitation of Vulnerable Applications
Cortex XDR flags exploitation of a known vulnerability. Simbian traces the post-exploitation activity, isolates affected endpoints, and correlates with network telemetry to identify other vulnerable systems at risk of the same attack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Simbian AI agents autonomously triage every Cortex XDR incident — running XQL queries, mapping causality chains, and executing response actions without playbooks or analyst queues. Automated alert triage operates continuously across your entire Palo Alto-protected fleet.
AI investigates each Cortex XDR alert in seconds, correlates with network and identity signals, and resolves false positives with documented evidence. Simbian autonomously handles up to 92% of alerts, eliminating the endpoint alert fatigue that accumulates when SOC teams manually process high-volume XDR detections.
No, for most incident types. Simbian replaces EDR-specific playbooks and automated response rules with AI reasoning that adapts to each incident. Unlike XSOAR playbooks that require maintenance and break on novel attack patterns, Simbian functions as a SOAR alternative that handles new threats without configuration.
Under 10 minutes. Simbian connects via the Cortex XDR API using a security-level API key from your Cortex hub — no agents to deploy, no network changes. The autonomous SOC starts ingesting incidents immediately after authentication.
No. Simbian operates alongside Cortex XDR, not instead of it. Cortex XDR remains your endpoint and extended detection engine — Simbian adds an AI SOC analyst layer that autonomously investigates and responds to incidents. Analysts retain oversight with configurable approval thresholds for critical actions.
