Abstract

Check that links aren't malicious before clicking or using them.

Prerequisite

URL filtering must be enabled in the Malware prevention profile for iOS devices.

The Cortex XDR app lets you test any URL, using the new Share option. You can safely select the link and share it by selecting the option Validate URL with Cortex XDR. The link will be diagnosed with the Palo Alto Advanced URL Filtering engine, and you will receive an informative summary page about the result of the test. This summary will include information such as whether the link is malicious or not, and the associated site categories and risk level.

  1. Share the link, and then select the Validate URL with Cortex XDR option.

  2. After you receive the test results from Cortex XDR, decide whether you want to click, use, or share the link, or not.
