Cortex AgentiX (agents for Cortex Cloud, XSIAM and XDR)

What it does

Cortex AgentiX is Palo Alto Networks' platform to build, deploy and govern security agents. The product page says it powers the Cortex Agentic Assistant across Cortex XSIAM, Cortex XDR and Cortex Cloud, offers a library of specialised agents (blog posts cover a Case Investigation Agent, an Automation Engineer agent and AI-driven phishing response), lets administrators define when agents act independently or need human approval, runs agents within existing roles and permissions with visible reasoning, and supports 1,100+ integrations plus MCP. Palo Alto's Cortex Cloud 2.0 release (Oct 28, 2025) describes a workforce of autonomous AI agents in its CNAPP that investigate and resolve cloud security issues within enterprise guardrails, with upgrades to 2.0 rolling out in the first half of 2026. Volume claims (for example training on 1.2 billion responses) are vendor marketing. Pricing is not published.

Alternatives

• 
  7AI agentic security platform — Boston-based agentic security platform where swarms of specialised AI agents categorise, investigate and reach a determination on every alert, escalating only what needs a person, with optional managed service (PLAID ELITE).
• 
  Abnormal AI Security Mailbox (Abnormal AI for Government) — Autonomous agent for email security operations that triages user-reported emails, removes related malicious campaign messages across the organisation and replies to reporters; included in Abnormal AI for Government, which is FedRAMP and GovRAMP Moderate authorized.
• 
  Adaptive Security Agentic Email Security and Phish Triage — API-based 'agentic email security' that re-analyses inbound mail after native filtering with ML and LLM reasoning and removes confirmed threats across every inbox automatically (configurable human-in-the-loop thresholds). AI Phish Triage classifies employee-reported emails and acts on them, feeding Adaptive's simulations and awareness training.
• 
  Aikido Attack AI Pentesting — Belgian autonomous AI pentest: many agents map the app, test attack paths and re-exploit each finding to confirm it, with a same-day audit-grade report.
• 
  AIpentix (agentic continuous security testing and agentic red teaming, by Swipergy) — German continuous security-testing platform with an AI agent that signs in to the customer's application on its own, chooses follow-up checks and documents attack paths, with every tool run evidenced. Findings are grouped into remediation actions with owners, deadlines and Jira sync, and retests confirm fixes. Agentic red-team campaigns (recon, access, lateral and report agents led by human red teamers) are also offered for TIBER-EU and DORA TLPT style testing.
• A
  Andesite Human-AI SOC (Azimuth for Government) — Agentic SOC platform with configurable agents for alert triage, enrichment, investigation and remediation under analyst oversight; its government offering is FedRAMP High authorized.
