Cortex XDR Agent 8.0 for Linux - Administrator Guide - EoL - 8.0 - Cortex XDR - Cortex XDR Agent - Advanced Endpoint Protection - Cortex - Security Operations

The Cortex XDR agent protects Linux servers by preventing known and unknown malware from running by halting any attempts to leverage software exploits and vulnerabilities to compromise the server. The agent also extends exploit and malware protection to processes that run in Linux containers. When you install the agent on a Linux server that uses containers, it automatically protects any new and existing containerized processes regardless of the container solution (for example, docker). Because Cortex XDR issues the license per Linux server, each container does not consume any additional licenses.
