Abstract

Learn about the Cortex XSIAM Broker virtual machine (VM) and why use it in your network configuration.

The Palo Alto Networks Broker is a secured virtual machine (VM), integrated with Cortex XSIAM, that bridges your network and Cortex XSIAM. By setting up the broker, you establish a secure connection in which you can route your endpoints, and collect and forward logs and files for analysis.

The Broker can be leveraged for running different services separately on the VM using the same Palo Alto Networks authentication. Once installed, the Broker VM automatically receives updates and enhancements from Cortex XSIAM, providing you with new capabilities without having to install a new VM.
