## Attack Surface Management

| FEATURE                                 | DESCRIPTION                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| On-demand attack surface rescan         | Confirm remediation faster by triggering a new Attack Surface Testing (AST) scan directly from an AST alert. Validate findings and keep alert status current without waiting for the next scheduled scan.                     |
| Business unit asset mapping             | Organize your attack surface more efficiently with bulk business unit assignment for IP addresses and domains. Map assets to the right teams faster and maintain clearer ownership across the enterprise.                     |
| Frontier AI-informed detection coverage | Expand protection with new detections shaped by frontier AI attack research. Built from testing with models like Mythos, these detections help identify exploitable weaknesses and exposures across external attack surfaces. |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xpanse-expander-rn/2026-releases/july-2026.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
