Cortex Data Security

Discover, classify, protect, and govern sensitive data across your organization in Cortex XSIAM.

Requires a Data Security, Cloud Runtime Security, or Cortex XSIAM Premium license, or the Data Security add-on.

Cortex Data Security is the unified data security solution from Palo Alto Networks for protecting sensitive data wherever it lives across your organization. It covers cloud storage, SaaS applications, on-premises file shares and databases, database-as-a-service (DBaaS) environments, code repositories, and AI pipelines. The platform discovers, classifies, and protects your data from a single console, replacing the fragmented set of point tools that organizations have traditionally needed to cover each environment.

Cortex Data Security gives you access to the following capabilities:

• Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to discover and assess your data at rest.
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to prevent exfiltration across communication channels.
• Data Detection & Response (DDR) to monitor real-time activity and stop breaches before they happen.
• Data Access Governance (DAG) to rightsize access and enforce least privilege across human, non-human, and AI agent identities.
