After deploying Cortex XDR agents to a large group of endpoints, some of the endpoints have a partially protected status. In which two places can insights into what is contributing to this status be located? (Choose two.)
Which configuration profile option with an available built-in template can be applied to both Windows and Linux systems by using XDR Collector?
A multinational company with over 300,000 employees has recently deployed Cortex XDR in North America. The solution includes the Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) add-on, and the Cortex team has onboarded the Cloud Identity Engine to the North American tenant. After waiting the required soak period and deploying enough agents to receive Identity and threat analytics detections, the team does not see user, group, or computer details for individuals from the European offices. What may be the reason for the issue?
During the deployment of a Broker VM in a high availability (HA) environment, after configuring the Broker VM FQDN, an XDR engineer must ensure agent installer availability and efficient content caching to maintain performance consistency across failovers. Which additionalconfiguration steps should the engineer take?
Which statement describes the functionality of fixed filters and dashboard drilldowns in enhancing a dashboard’s interactivity and data insights?
How long is data kept in the temporary hot storage cache after being queried from cold storage?
A new parsing rule is created, and during testing and verification, all the logs for which field data is to be parsed out are missing. All the other logs from this data source appear as expected. What may be the cause of this behavior?
Multiple remote desktop users complain of in-house applications no longer working. The team uses macOS with Cortex XDR agents version 8.7.0, and the applications were previously allowed by disable prevention rules attached to the Exceptions Profile "Engineer-Mac." Based on the images below, what is a reason for this behavior?
A security audit determines that the Windows Cortex XDR host-based firewall is not blocking outbound RDP connections for certain remote workers. The audit report confirms the following:
All devices are running healthy Cortex XDR agents.
A single host-based firewall rule to block all outbound RDP is implemented.
The policy hosting the profile containing the rule applies to all Windows endpoints.
The logic within the firewall rule is adequate.
Further testing concludes RDP is successfully being blocked on all devices tested at company HQ.
Network location configuration in Agent Settings is enabled on all Windows endpoints.What is the likely reason the RDP connections are not being blocked?
An engineer is building a dashboard to visualize the number of alerts from various sources. One of the widgets from the dashboard is shown in the image below:
The engineer wants to configure a drilldown on this widget to allow dashboard users to select any of the alert names and view those alerts with additional relevant details. The engineer has configured the following XQL query to meet the requirement:
dataset = alerts
| fields alert_name, description, alert_source, severity, original_tags, alert_id, incident_id
| filter alert_name =
| sort desc _time
How will the engineer complete the third line of the query (filter alert_name =) to allow dynamic filtering on a selected alert name?
How can a customer ingest additional events from a Windows DHCP server into Cortex XDR with minimal configuration?
When onboarding a Palo Alto Networks NGFW to Cortex XDR, what must be done to confirm that logs are being ingested successfully after a device is selected and verified?
