Palo Alto Networks

Importer Data Types

• Asset Details Enrichment and Create New in Vantage

  Palo Alto Cortex XDR supplies records including endpoint hostname, IP and MAC addresses, OS version, agent version, isolation status, endpoint type, content version and last check-in timestamp — to enrich existing Vantage assets and create new asset records for endpoints not yet observed on the OT network.

• Asset Software Inventory Import

  Palo Alto Cortex XDR reports installed application inventory collected by the Cortex XDR Pro agent. This per-asset software list is imported into Vantage, giving OT security teams an authoritative view of what is running on each observed device.

• Asset CPE and CVE Import

  Palo Alto Cortex XDR produces CVE findings and severity ratings produced by the Cortex XDR Host Insights module. These findings are imported into Vantage as CPE-correlated vulnerability records, enabling prioritized remediation tracking within the Nozomi asset context.

Joint Use Cases

• Correlating Palo Alto Networks signals with OT network alerts

  When Nozomi Vantage raises an anomaly alert for a device inside an OT segment, the analyst can pivot to the same asset's Palo Alto Cortex XDR record in Vantage to review recent detections, prevention events, isolation status and agent health, all without leaving the Vantage investigation workflow. This cross-layer correlation surfaces whether a network-layer anomaly coincides with activity observed by Palo Alto Networks, reducing the time needed to confirm or dismiss an incident.

• Closing asset inventory gaps across IT and OT

  Devices recorded by Palo Alto Cortex XDR but not yet observed by Nozomi network sensors are automatically created as new asset records in Vantage, populated with hostname, OS, agent status and last-seen timestamp drawn from the Palo Alto Networks management plane. OT operations teams can audit the resulting unified inventory to identify unmonitored or underprotected assets in industrial and critical infrastructure zones, then prioritize sensor deployment accordingly.

• Prioritizing vulnerability remediation on critical OT assets

  CVE findings and severity scores imported from Palo Alto Cortex XDR are surfaced alongside Nozomi's OT risk scoring for each asset, allowing security engineers to rank remediation effort by both vulnerability severity and the operational criticality of the affected device. This joint view enables compliance reporting workflows, such as IEC 62443 gap assessments, to reference both network-observed risk and Palo Alto Networks-confirmed vulnerability data from a single Vantage dashboard.
