Explanation
Cortex XDR Live Terminal uses the WebSocket protocol to establish a real-time, bidirectional communication channel between the Cortex XDR console and the agent on the endpoint. WebSocket is well-suited for this use case because it maintains a persistent connection over a single TCP connection, enabling low-latency, interactive command execution. The other options - NetBIOS over TCP, UDP with a random port, and TCP over port 80 as a raw connection - are not used by Live Terminal.
