Explanation

Cortex XDR is Palo Alto Networks' extended detection and response platform that provides behavior-based protection on endpoints. It uses machine learning and behavioral analytics to detect anomalous activity - stopping threats that evade signature-based detection. AutoFocus is a threat intelligence platform for contextual analysis of threat data. DNS Security is a service that blocks malicious domains at the DNS layer. MineMeld is an open-source threat intelligence feed aggregation tool. None of these others perform behavior-based endpoint protection.
