Explanation

Cortex XDR integrates with WildFire, Palo Alto Networks' cloud-based threat analysis service. When Cortex XDR encounters an unknown or suspicious file on an endpoint that cannot be conclusively classified through local analysis, it automatically submits the file to WildFire for deeper, dynamic and static analysis in a sandboxed environment. This enables rapid discovery of previously unknown ('zero-day') malware. AutoFocus provides threat intelligence context. MineMeld aggregates threat intelligence feeds. Cortex XSOAR orchestrates response workflows - none of these natively perform the local-to-WildFire file submission workflow the way Cortex XDR does.
