Onboard Cortex XSIAM - Learn about the deployment preparation and procedures for onboarding and configuring Cortex XSIAM. - Administrator Guide - Cortex XSIAM - Cortex - Security Operations

Onboarding aims to get you up and running as quickly as possible, driven by the need for rapid time-to-value (TTV), immediate risk reduction, and quick validation. Focus on the most essential components (such as core data sources and integrations), and install the XDR agent (subject to license) as the central sensor for visibility and prevention. This establishes the Cortex Extended Data Lake (XDL) as the central data repository, ensuring it is the single, intelligent source of truth powering all subsequent XQL queries, detection analytics, and automated case triage.
