Integration with Cortex XSOAR, Prisma Cloud, and other workflow products like SIEMS and ITSMs allows our attack surface management (ASM) findings to enhance security workflows, and secure unknown, unmanaged risks on your cloud attack surface. Expander requires the base platform SKU plus a SKU based on the size of the network. * **Active Response**—Add-on module for Expander. Active Response uses embedded playbooks to automatically enrich incidents with ownership information, create tickets, and fully remediate exposures through cloud integrations, by creating firewall block rules or triggering endpoint isolation. * **Attack Surface Testing**—Add-on module for Expander. Cortex Xpanse Attack Surface Testing confirms the presence of a vulnerability on your external attack surface, enabling you to quickly and confidently prioritize risks. With your approval, Cortex Xpanse runs benign exploits against externally facing assets to confirm the presence of vulnerabilities. Rather than manually verifying inferred CVEs yourself, Cortex Xpanse Attack Surface Testing runs daily scans based on your preferences. * **Link** —SaaS web application that continuously identifies internet assets, risky services, and misconfigurations in third parties to help secure a supply chain or identify risk for M\&A due diligence. * **Third Party Assess**—SaaS web application that provides a comprehensive, point-in-time assessment of a third party's internet assets, risky services, and misconfigurations to help secure a supply chain or identify risk for M\&A due diligence. --- # 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 dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xpanse/learn-about-cortex-xpanse/cortex-xpanse-licenses.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. 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.
