The Palo Alto Networks XSIAM Analyst Certification Exam (V2) validates real-world Security Operations skills across detection, investigation, automation, and incident response. This course is designed for learners who want to build analyst judgment, not just memorize screens or commands.
Instead of jumping directly into buttons and options, every topic in this course starts with a visual mental model. You’ll learn how XSIAM works end-to-end — from data ingestion to alert generation to investigation and containment — so you always understand why you are executing a task, not just how. This helps you retain concepts longer, respond faster to alerts, and perform confidently in live SOC environments.
What Makes This Course Different
This training is structured to match how analysts actually think:
Visual-first learning to reduce cognitive load and improve memory
Short, modular lessons so you can progress quickly and stay focused
Scenario-based reasoning to develop real SOC judgment
Certification-aligned content mapped directly to the official XSIAM Exam Blueprint
Practical workflows, not just tool walkthroughs
Key Skills You Will Develop
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Understand XSIAM Core Architecture (Data Sources → Data Lake → Analytics → Automation → Case Management)
Perform structured alert triage with confidence and clarity
Use XQL to explore data, correlate events, and support investigations
Apply MITRE ATT&CK reasoning during threat analysis
Tune detection logic and analytics rules to reduce noise
Use entity context + enrichment + threat intel to uncover root causes
Execute remote investigation & containment actions safely
Automate repeatable workflows using playbooks and response actions
Inside the Learning Journey
To prepare you for real SOC work (and the exam), we walk through the analyst workflow step-by-step:
SecOps fundamentals & investigation mindset
Intake, enrichment, alert triage & prioritization
Deep investigation paths using context and XQL
Containment, response, case management & reporting
Exposure monitoring and continuous improvement
You also receive 300+ structured practice questions to build familiarity with exam patterns, reasoning traps, and scenario interpretation.
