Managed Security ServicesMDR for Cortex XSIAM
A 24/7 managed SOC built on Cortex XSIAM and operated by Unit 42.
Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Managed XSIAM delivers a 24/7 managed SOC built on Cortex XSIAM and operated by the Unit 42 team — combining the AI-driven XSIAM platform with elite human expertise to run modern security operations for you. It is a managed SOC built for tomorrow’s threats. Faltrox positions and coordinates it as part of your managed security programme.
Overview
What MDR for Cortex XSIAM is
Modern security operations are hard: fragmented tools, overwhelming data, a skills shortage, and threats moving faster than human-run SOCs can respond. Unit 42 Managed XSIAM (MDR for Cortex XSIAM) addresses this by delivering a 24/7 managed SOC built on the AI-driven Cortex XSIAM platform and operated by the Unit 42 team.
It combines XSIAM’s AI-driven data consolidation, automatic detection, and automated response with Unit 42’s frontline expertise — running detection, investigation, threat hunting, and response as a managed service on a modern, AI-ready foundation. That gives organisations the outcomes of a next-generation SOC without building, staffing, or operating the XSIAM platform themselves. Faltrox positions and coordinates Managed XSIAM within the broader managed security programme it delivers.

FAQ
Common questions
01What is MDR for Cortex XSIAM?
It is Unit 42 Managed XSIAM — a 24/7 managed SOC built on the AI-driven Cortex XSIAM platform and operated by the Unit 42 team. It combines XSIAM’s automation with elite human expertise, giving you next-generation SOC outcomes without building, staffing, or operating the platform yourself.
02How is it different from Unit 42 MDR?
Unit 42 MDR is the managed detection and response service (which can run on the Cortex platform generally); MDR for Cortex XSIAM is built specifically around operating the XSIAM platform as a managed 24/7 SOC. Faltrox scopes which fits your platform and needs.
03Do we need to run XSIAM ourselves?
No — that is the point. Managed XSIAM delivers the outcomes of an AI-driven SOC on the XSIAM platform without you building, staffing, or operating it, because Unit 42 (and Faltrox coordinating it) runs it for you.
04What does the combination of AI and human expertise give us?
XSIAM handles data consolidation, automatic detection, and automated response at machine speed; Unit 42 experts add proactive threat hunting and the judgement to investigate and respond to what needs a human. Together they cover both the volume and the sophistication of modern threats.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We position and coordinate Managed XSIAM within the broader managed security programme we deliver — integrating it with the wider Cortex platform and the security services we run, so you get a modern, AI-driven managed SOC as part of one coherent programme.
