Abstract

Search the Cortex Marketplace and find content. Search by use cases, integrations, and categories.

Content in Marketplace is organized into content packs to support specific security orchestration use cases. Content packs are created by Palo Alto Networks, technology partners, contributors, and customers.

In Marketplace, content includes the following:

Content

Description

Actions

Actions wrap diverse capabilities (such as playbooks, scripts, and commands) to make them accessible and executable by an agent.

Classifiers

Classification determines the type of issue/indicator that is created for events ingested from a specific integration. You create a classifier and define that classifier in an integration. Mappers map the fields from your third-party integration to the fields in your issue/indicator layouts.

Correlation Rules

Analyzes the correlation of multiple events from multiple sources by using the Cortex Cloud XQL-based engine for creating these correlation (scheduled) rules. Issues can then be triggered based on these rules with a defined time frame and schedule.

Dashboards

Dashboards consist of visualized data powered by fully customizable widgets, which enable you to analyze data from inside or outside Cortex Cloud, in different formats such as line charts, tables, text, etc.

Data Model Rules

Data Model rules enable you to normalize logs for out-of-the-box analytics and data enrichment. This allows you to do the following:

  • Map 3rd-party data to a consolidated schema with predefined data types.

  • Enjoy auto-complete and mapping suggestions.

  • Map multiple datasets to one Data Model.

Some content packs contain out-of-the-box default Data Model Rules.

Indicator types and fields

Indicators are categorized by indicator type, which determines the indicator layout and fields that are displayed and which scripts are run on indicators of that type.

Integrations

You can define the following integrations:

  • (SOAR) Automation: Add your 3rd-party security and alert management vendors, which can then trigger events from these integrations that become issues in Cortex Cloud. Once the issues are created, you can run playbooks on these issues to enrich them with information from other products in your system, which helps you complete the picture.

  • Collection (SIEM): Add integrations that collect raw events, such as logs. These integrations are separate from automation integrations so that you can add a collection integration that requires read permissions without having to add automation (read and write permissions).

Issue types and fields

All issues that are ingested into Cortex Cloud are assigned an issue type when they are classified. After you classify the issue, you can then map the relevant fields to the issue.

Issue types contain fields that are relevant to the issue type.

Layouts and layout rules

Enables you to add rules, which define the layout of issues and notifications,

When installed, the layout rules are enabled and added as Default Rules. When deleted, all related layout rules (including all Rule sections) are removed from the Default Rules tab.

Parsing rules

Enables you to add rules, which remove non-required data for analytics, hunting, or regulation, reduce data storage costs, pre-process all incoming data, etc.

When installed, the parsing rules are enabled and added as Default Rules. When deleted, all related parsing rules (including all Rule sections) are removed from the Default Rules tab.

Playbooks

You can automate many security processes, including handling investigations and managing tickets and security responses that were previously handled manually. When an issue is ingested, the playbook runs and an issue is created.

Reports

Reports contain statistical data in the form of widgets (from a dashboard), which enable you to analyze data from inside or outside Cortex Cloud, in different formats such as line charts, tables, text from information, etc.

Scripts

Perform specific actions and are comprised of commands, which are used in playbook tasks and when running commands in the issue War Room.

Cortex Cloud supports free content packs, which are either Cortex Cloud or partner-supported content packs. You can restrict a user role from managing content packs in Marketplace when defining/editing user roles.

In Marketplace, you can browse all content packs (including installed content) or view only installed content packs.

You can search for content packs by entering text in the search bar and selecting the relevant content pack from the search results.

You can sort content packs by latest update, best match, recommended, number of downloads, and filter according to the following criteria:

  • Use cases: Filter according to high-level use cases.

  • Integrations: Filter according to the integration included in the content pack.

  • Categories: Filter according to content pack categories.

  • Published: Filter according to whether published by Cortex Cloud or by Cortex Cloud technology partners.

  • Content Pack Includes: Filter according to the content of the content pack, such as scripts, integrations, playbooks, and actions.

  • Tags: Filter according to tags, such as Issues, Actions, Network, and Security.

When clicking a content pack you can view detailed information including content that it installs (such as scripts, playbooks, and integrations), dependencies (what content packs are required or optional) and version history (including whether you want to roll back to earlier versions).

You can view Marketplace content packs from within Cortex Cloud (go to SettingsConfigurationsMarketplace) or at Cortex Developer Docs Marketplace.
