# Feature enhancements

The Cortex XSOAR 8.11 release includes the following enhancements:

| Feature                              | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Terminate incident export            | You can now manually terminate an ongoing scheduled or on-demand incident export, which provides users with greater control over their data management workflows. For more information, see [Schedule incident export and delete](https://app.gitbook.com/s/vksWgzvBZ9ZvAg4dGLrH/incident-configuration/configure-incident-export-and-delete/schedule-incident-export-and-delete).                                                                                                                                    |
| GCOW2 on KVM deployment              | Cortex XSOAR now supports deployment on a KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) hypervisor. For more information, see [Install Cortex XSOAR on a VM deployed on KVM](https://app.gitbook.com/s/HUXm4cXMLNi17K8Nk5FM/install-cortex-xsoar-on-a-vm-deployed-on-kvm).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| Proxy authentication for deployments | You can now configure the proxy username and password directly in the textual UI (TUI), ensuring seamless operation in environments that require proxy authentication. This allows all outbound HTTP and HTTPS requests to function correctly through your authenticated proxy server. You can choose the HTTP or HTTPS protocol for the proxy. For more information, see Configure proxy settings (Task 5) for your [relevant deployment](https://app.gitbook.com/s/zu0JFveya8HggDUkscbw/cortex-xsoar-installation). |
| Kube CIS benchmark test fixes        | The security posture has been enhanced by addressing controls flagged during CIS Kubernetes benchmarking, thereby fixing vulnerabilities in critical components, including kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, and kube-scheduler, to improve adherence to industry-standard best practices.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| Package and cipher updates           | System security is now improved by eliminating weak ciphers (such as 3DES) and updating underlying Debian packages to resolve recent CVEs                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| Network Security Enhancements        | Narrowed down the list of ports that should be opened on the VM. For more information, see [Port requirements for cluster communication](https://app.gitbook.com/s/vksWgzvBZ9ZvAg4dGLrH/system-requirements/port-requirements-for-cluster-communication).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

# 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/xsoar-8-opp-release-notes/8.11/features-introduced-in-this-release/feature-enhancements.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
