The Cortex XSIAM Endpoint Engineer is a specialized technical role within the Professional Services team. This individual will be a key player in the successful deployment and operationalization of Palo Alto Networks' Cortex XSIAM platform, with a specific focus on the endpoint security components. The role centers on migrating customers from existing Cortex XDR or third-party EDR solutions to XSIAM, managing agent deployment, and tuning endpoint security policies to help customers maximize the value of our AI-driven SOC platform.
Job Responsibility:
Lead and execute the migration of endpoint agents from Cortex XDR or legacy EDR platforms to Cortex XSIAM
Develop and implement a phased agent rollout plan to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption
Create migration plans for moving agents and assist in updating the customer's architecture diagrams to reflect the new XSIAM endpoint traffic flow
Perform agent compatibility checks against various endpoint OS versions and conduct pilot validations before mass rollouts
Analyze the customer's existing XDR policies, profiles, and configurations to plan a successful migration to Cortex XSIAM
Implement and fine-tune endpoint security policies, profiles, and exception rules within the XSIAM console to align with customer security objectives
Manage global allow/block lists, exceptions, and other endpoint-specific configurations post-migration
Recreate and apply configurations such as tags and exception profiles for different operating systems (e.g., Windows, Linux, macOS) in the unified XSIAM tenant
Ensure endpoint agents are healthy and managed centrally post-migration
Collaborate with the customer's SOC and endpoint teams to tune alerts, validate security posture, and reduce alert fatigue
Provide expert guidance on endpoint security best practices, including threat prevention, device control, and data loss prevention (DLP)
Act as the key technical endpoint resource within the project team, working alongside the XSIAM Lead Consultant, SIEM Engineer, and Project Manager
Contribute to key project documents, including the Solution Design and As-Built documents, with a focus on endpoint architecture and configuration
Participate in testing and pre-production activities to ensure a smooth go-live for all endpoint-related functions
Assist in transitioning the customer to Business-As-Usual (BAU) operations and handing over to the appropriate long-term support teams
Requirements:
Proven experience with endpoint security solutions (EDR/XDR), specifically with agent deployment, policy management, and troubleshooting
Hands-on experience with Cortex XDR is highly desirable
Direct experience with Cortex XSIAM, particularly in agent migration from XDR to XSIAM, is a strong plus
Strong understanding of endpoint operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS) and their security configurations
Familiarity with SOC operations and how endpoint data is used for threat hunting, investigation, and response
Knowledge of scripting for agent deployment and management is an asset
Experience in a customer-facing, consultative role, such as professional services, technical account management, or solutions architecture
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to navigate complex agent migration and policy-tuning challenges
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to manage stakeholder expectations and collaborate effectively with customer endpoint teams
Ability to work effectively as part of a distributed project team to drive successful customer outcomes
