Abstract

The type of content in Cortex XDR

In Cortex XDR, content includes individual content entities that you create such as individual playbooks and scripts, preinstalled content packs, and content packs that are downloaded from Marketplace when you adopt and edit playbooks.

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

You can view your installed Marketplace content packs from within Cortex XDR.
