Swamped by incident alerts, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) struggle to quickly identify and prioritize high-risk attacks, leaving critical infrastructure exposed to ransomware and data theft. ANY.RUN’s integration with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR solves this by automating proactive sandbox analysis and threat intelligence correlation to beat alert fatigue, boost detection rates, and accelerate security workflows.

With the ANY.RUN’s Interactive Sandbox in Cortex XSOAR, users can: 

• Submit a file, remote file, or URL for analysis across Windows, Ubuntu, or Android operating systems. 

• Retrieve detailed report details and IOCs for a specific analysis in JSON, HTML. 

• Download file submission samples and analysis network traffic dumps for deeper incident response insights. 

Benefits of the Interactive Sandbox in Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR 

• Higher detection rate: Automated Interactivity ensures even evasive attacks are fully detonated and identified.  

• Faster incident resolution: Quick insights accelerate response to critical threats.  

• Reduced alert fatigue: Focus only on severe incidents, while the sandbox identifies.  

Threat Intelligence Feeds in Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR 

ANY.RUN’s Threat Intelligence Feeds empower SOCs and MSSPs to strengthen security with high-fidelity, actionable IOCs from real-time sandbox analysis. New indicators are continuously added to TI Feeds from sandbox investigations across 15,000+ organizations after filtering. This means you get a curated stream of malicious IPs, domains, and URLs that have been active for no more than several hours and can still be used to detect attacks that are happening right now.
