Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM Delivers Industry’s First AI-Driven SecOps Platform to Span Proactive and Reactive Security

Published

on

Evolves industry-leading capabilities with AI-driven Cortex Exposure management and Advanced Email Security

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Palo Alto Networks® (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today unveiled Cortex XSIAM® 3.0, the next evolution of its industry-leading SecOps platform, bolstered with proactive exposure management and advanced email security, enabling customers to further consolidate on Cortex for significantly better, faster and more cost-effective security operations.

Three years ago, Palo Alto Networks anticipated the future of security operations by introducing Cortex XSIAM, which consolidates and normalizes all cybersecurity data to fuel advanced, real-time analytics and automation, making disjointed point products obsolete. The best-selling platform surged past $1 billion cumulative bookings in FY25 Q2, making it our fastest offering to reach this milestone. Earlier this year, Palo Alto Networks doubled down on cloud security with the introduction of Cortex Cloud, converging its industry-leading CNAPP and CDR capabilities on the unified Cortex platform.

Cortex XSIAM 3.0 continues its relentless disruption of the security operations market by upending decades-old approaches to vulnerability management and email security. It further expands the scope of the SOC from reactive to proactive security to prevent breaches before they happen, in addition to its current powerful incident response capabilities. These new XSIAM innovations will help customers modernize legacy offerings across a total TAM of $37 billion.

Gonen Fink, SVP of Products, Cortex at Palo Alto Networks:
“Cortex XSIAM harnesses the power of the world’s largest and most comprehensive set of security data to transform our customers’ ability to rapidly counter evolving attacks with advanced AI and automation. This expansion of our groundbreaking SecOps platform merges best-in-class reactive with proactive security measures, allowing customers to achieve unprecedented risk reduction across their entire enterprise, from code to cloud to SOC.”

Cortex XSIAM 3.0 will enable customers to stop attacks at scale using AI-driven threat defense with Cortex Exposure Management and Advanced Email Security.

Cortex Exposure Management: Cut vulnerability noise by up to 99% with AI-driven prioritization and automated remediation spanning the entire enterprise:

See every exposure: Uncover risks with a unified solution spanning native network, endpoint and cloud scanners — extended with integration from any third-party source.Cut alert noise based on actual risk, not compliance: Use AI to prioritize high-risk, exploitable vulnerabilities with no compensating controls, eliminating false alarms.Close the loop with industry-leading automation to prevent future attacks: Seamlessly create new protections for critical risks in native network, endpoint and cloud security solutions. Automate remediation across first- and third-party tools with playbook automation.

Cortex Advanced Email Security: Stop sophisticated email-based attacks missed by other solutions, with advanced AI and automation:

Outsmart GenAI-powered threats: Detect advanced phishing and email-based threats based on attacker intent with LLM-powered analytics that continuously learn from emerging threats.Stop attacks in real time with built-in automation: Automatically remove malicious emails, disable compromised accounts, and isolate affected endpoints with best-in-class workflow automation.Extend industry-leading detection and response with complete email context: Correlate email, identity, endpoint and cloud data for unparalleled visibility into the full attack path for effective incident response.

Chris DeBrunner, VP of Security Operations, CBTS: 
“The transition to Cortex XSIAM has transformed our SOC operations at CBTS. Previously, we struggled with alert fatigue due to multi-console complexity, multiple data sources, disparate vendors, and labor-intensive tasks. With the consolidation of major security capabilities into one platform, we have achieved remarkable efficiencies. Our incident close-out rate has reached 100%, and we have significantly reduced our median time to resolution (MTTR) from days to, in some cases, seconds. The automation provided by XSIAM has been crucial in managing the alert overwhelm we faced, making our team more effective and less error-prone.”

Chase Hymel, CISO, State of Louisiana: 
“Discovering the capabilities of Cortex XSIAM was a game-changer for the State of Louisiana. It’s helped us to modernize our security infrastructure and set an example for other states to follow. By adopting XSIAM, we have significantly improved threat visibility and response effectiveness. Cortex XSIAM has allowed us to consolidate our security tools into one integrated platform, enhancing our security operations and protecting citizen data effectively. We have reduced MTTR from over 24 hours to under two minutes and automated the resolution of 86% of incidents.”

Availability: Exposure Management and Advanced Email Security are expected to be generally available to customers globally in FY25 Q4. For more details on Cortex XSIAM 3.0, read our blog here.

Building on this, OMODA 4 further expands the boundaries of in-car scenarios, creating a full-scene ecosystem that encompasses pet-friendly features, karaoke, camping, and multimedia entertainment. It is designed to fully accommodate the diverse lifestyle needs of young users and carry all their passions.

OMODA 4 will also launch an Ultra version, which offers class-exclusive factory performance modifications to deliver an exhilarating “supercar-like” experience for driving enthusiasts. The professional sports kit fully optimizes aerodynamics and body stance, boosting visual impact and high-speed stability. A launch control function unleashes peak torque at start for thrilling pushback, the tuned exclusive sports sound ignites drivers’ hearing on every acceleration. Professional sport tuning extends to the suspension, steering, and power response, resulting in more precise and sharper handling overall.

The official mass production rollout of the OMODA 4 represents a critical step in the execution of OMODA & JAECOO’s “New Million Strategy” and is a key component of the brand’s Globalization 2.0 blueprint.

Helping Irish savers better understand investment products, Broadridge is developing innovative language simplification technology

DUBLIN, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc (NYSE: BR) today announced plans to support groundbreaking work in financial literacy in Ireland. Supported by IDA Ireland, the project will enable Broadridge to explore how artificial intelligence can be used to simplify the language in financial disclosures and make investment products more accessible to Irish retail investors.

“Ireland is a leading international centre for innovation in financial technology,” said Denis Curran, Head of International Financial Services, Emerging Business and Engineering & Green Economy at IDA Ireland. “We are delighted to support Broadridge in its mission to enhance financial literacy through the power of artificial intelligence. I wish the team at Broadridge every success with this innovative project.”

This collaboration addresses a critical challenge facing Ireland’s financial services sector. While Ireland hosts over €5 trillion in fund assets and is Europe’s ETF powerhouse, retail investor participation remains low. Research shows that dense, jargon-heavy disclosures create a significant barrier, with only 18% of EU citizens demonstrating high financial literacy according to the European Commission’s 2023 Eurobarometer Survey.

“This partnership with IDA Ireland positions Broadridge at the centre of a national initiative to leverage technology to make sophisticated investment products genuinely accessible to retail investors,” said Stephen Johnston, Senior Country Officer, Ireland, at Broadridge. “We’ve analysed investment disclosures from the 50 largest UK asset managers and found that nearly half were written at an academic level that would be difficult for most retail investors to understand. Across Europe, around €14 trillion sits in household savings accounts. At a time when purchasing power is eroding due to inflation, too many of these savers lack clarity and confidence in how best to realise their investment potential. By applying AI to create plain-language communications while maintaining regulatory compliance and accuracy, we can measurably boost engagement and help move Irish savers from deposit accounts into long-term investments that can support their financial futures.”

Broadridge’s research project will investigate how AI-driven plain-English communications can transform complex fund documentation into clear and simple information that empowers everyday Irish savers to make informed investment decisions. The initiative aligns with both the European Commission’s Financial Literacy Strategy and regulatory efforts such as the UK FCA’s Consumer Composite Investment framework to deliver simplified, user-friendly disclosures.

Broadridge’s Dublin team supports clients across Ireland’s financial services community, delivering a broad range of technology and operational solutions. With dedicated Dublin-based regulatory expertise, the team partners with leading global asset managers and fund administrators to navigate complex requirements, including PRIIPs, MiFID, Solvency II and the evolving UK–EU regulatory landscape.

Results from the study will be shared with industry stakeholders and regulators to inform best practices.

We’ve been able to hit our projected numbers early while still keeping most of our capital undeployed. That’s a strong signal that we have built a strong scalable model.”

Commenting on product adoption, Shripriya Khaitan Dhelia, Co-Founder, Fabpad, said, “Our focus has always been on solving for real, everyday use. This isn’t a one-time purchase decision—it’s something customers evaluate every single month. That’s where trust gets built. If the product performs consistently, it earns credibility over time, and that’s what ultimately drives repeat usage and growth.”

Fabpad is a personal hygiene brand founded by Shripriya Dhelia, focused on building high-performance, affordable, and sustainable hygiene solutions for modern consumers. The company has developed a diversified business model, combining its direct-to-consumer (D2C) presence in India with institutional partnerships, export markets, and B2B distribution channels, enabling it to scale across both individual and large-scale use cases.
