Abstract

Learn more about the Cortex XDR predefined user role called Responder.

Adds response actions to the Investigator base. Can view and triage alerts, and access all response capabilities (isolate, terminate, quarantine), but no Live Terminal, rule editing, or configuration access.

Tip

Assign to SOC Tier-2 analysts who need to take immediate containment actions (isolate, terminate, quarantine) when responding to confirmed threats, plus the ability to edit detection rules and manage threat intel.
