FAQs

What is Precision AI by Palo Alto Networks?

Precision AI is Palo Alto Networks’ proprietary AI system built for cybersecurity. It centralises and analyses data with security-specific models to automate detection, prevention and response. By delivering high-resolution threat intelligence, Precision AI enables security teams to stop rapidly evolving threats in real time with fewer false positives.

How does Precision AI improve cybersecurity defences?

Precision AI analyses large volumes of data to identify patterns and anomalies indicating security threats. It automates responses to identified threats, reducing time between detection and remediation and increasing the efficiency of cybersecurity operations.

How does Precision AI reduce false positives?

Precision AI distinguishes between normal network behaviour and potential threats by learning from past behaviours and continuously updating its threat models. This produces fewer false alarms and more accurate detection.

Can AI replace human cybersecurity experts?

AI cannot replace human cybersecurity experts, but it significantly augments their capabilities. AI excels at processing large data volumes and identifying patterns quickly, handling routine tasks and providing actionable insights. Human experts remain essential for strategic decisions, interpreting complex scenarios and addressing sophisticated threats.

What are the key steps in an incident response plan?

An IRP typically includes preparation (establishing policies, tools and teams), identification (detecting and confirming incidents), containment (limiting threat spread), eradication (eliminating root causes), recovery (restoring systems) and lessons learned (reviewing and improving). SCC’s security specialists can assist in creating your plan.

What tools support an incident response plan?

Common tools include SIEM for monitoring and threat identification, EDR for endpoint detection and mitigation, incident management platforms to coordinate and document response, forensic analysis tools to investigate root cause, and secure communication tools for real-time collaboration. SCC’s security specialists can help align these to your plan.
