During Cortex XSIAM tenant activation, data at rest is configured with AES 128 encryption by selecting "BYOK" (Bring Your Own Key) under the Advanced → Encryption Method option and following the wizard's instructions. This ensures secure key management and compliance with encryption standards.

Cortex XSIAM ingests structured third-party logs (such as CEF, LEEF, and JSON) by breaking down the key- value pairs and saving them in a normalized table format. This enables efficient correlation, analytics, and query performance across diverse log sources while preserving data fidelity.

A Marketplace content pack in Cortex XSIAM can include scripts, playbooks, integrations, and correlation rules. These packaged content items extend platform functionality, automate workflows, and enhance detection and response capabilities.

To show incidents assigned to a specific user in a Cortex XSIAM custom dashboard, the engineer should use filters and inputs in the custom dashboard. This enables dynamic filtering of incident data, allowing the dashboard to be customized based on user assignment.
