Course Overview
The Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR Automation and Orchestration (EDU-380) course is an advanced, four-day instructor-led training designed for security operations (SecOps), SOAR engineers, managed security service providers (MSSPs), and system integrators seeking to master automation in cybersecurity workflows. This course prepares candidates for the Palo Alto Networks Certified Security Automation Engineer (PCSAE) certification, a credential recognized across enterprise security teams for validating expertise in deploying and managing Cortex XSOAR solutions. With over 8,000 organizations globally leveraging Cortex XSOAR to reduce mean time to response, this training equips professionals with in-demand skills to automate incident response, streamline case management, and integrate diverse security tools within modern SOC environments.
Participants engage with core Cortex XSOAR components including integrations, playbooks, layout builder, Docker containers, threat intelligence management, and role-based access controls (RBAC). Through hands-on labs conducted in a dedicated Cortex XSOAR environment, students configure real-world integrations such as VirusTotal and urlscan.io, develop custom automations using Python and JavaScript, and build end-to-end playbooks to address phishing incidents. A key project involves designing a complete playbook that automates analyst workflows—from initial alert triage to evidence collection and reporting—using the War Room and Investigation tabs. Learners also practice classification and mapping techniques to standardize incident data, ensuring consistent response actions across complex security ecosystems.
By completing the Cortex XSOAR Automation and Orchestration (EDU-380) course, professionals gain direct preparation for the PCSAE certification, which can lead to career advancement with certified automation engineers commanding average salaries of $120,000–$150,000 in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning experience with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Palo Alto Networks courseware, and access to expert instructors through 1-on-1 training options. Graduates emerge ready to design scalable automation frameworks, improve SOC efficiency, and lead digital transformation in security operations, positioning themselves at the forefront of AI-driven cyber defense innovation.
