The following features were added to Cortex XDR agents running on Windows, Linux, and Mac endpoints:
Feature | Description |

Handling errors from WildFire Service (Windows and Mac) | Cortex XDR introduces a new mechanism for handling errors from the WildFire service, in order to avoid creating benign alerts from non malicious files and eventually reducing the false positive ratio. |

Feature | Description |

New Linux Support | Cortex XDR, version 7.9, supports RockyLinux 9 and AlmaLinux 9 |
