Cortex XPANSE in Canada
Continuous discovery of every internet-facing asset you own. Find exposures before attackers do.
What is Cortex XPANSE in Canada?
Cortex XPANSE is the attack surface management platform from Palo Alto. It continuously discovers an organization's internet-facing assets across IPs, domains, certificates, services, and cloud accounts, then surfaces exposures that the security team did not know existed.
Core capabilities.
- Continuous internet-wide asset discovery
- Exposure detection and prioritization
- Cloud account discovery
- Acquisition and subsidiary mapping
- Integration with Cortex XSIAM and XDR
Implementing Cortex XPANSE in Canada for UAE enterprises.
CWS deploys XPANSE as a 4 to 6 week engagement: organization scoping, attribution validation, exposure baseline, remediation prioritization, ongoing operations setup.
Engagements are scoped on a fixed-fee SOW with weekly review checkpoints and named senior engineer ownership. CWS holds PCNSC, PCNSE, and Prisma SASE APS certifications, with named platform specialisations across Software Firewall, Hardware Firewall, and Prisma Cloud. Bilingual handover artifacts in English plus a second language are produced where audit and operations teams require them.
Common engagement shapes.
Three patterns that recur in UAE engagements. Each starts with a fixed-scope assessment and progresses through implementation into managed operations where the customer wants steady-state coverage.
- 01
Canadian conglomerate discovering shadow IT across acquired subsidiaries
- 02
Canadian government agency baselining internet exposure across 30+ federal entities
UAE regulatory mapping.
XPANSE findings inform ITSG-33 risk-management deliverables and Quebec Law 25 continuous-monitoring requirements.
Need a written control mapping for an audit? Talk to a CWS engineer to scope the artifact set for TDRA NESA, ISR v2, CBUAE, DFSA, FSRA, or sector-specific frameworks.
Frequently asked: Cortex XPANSE in Canada
Is XPANSE a vulnerability scanner?
No. XPANSE discovers assets and finds exposures (open services, expired certificates, misconfigured cloud accounts). Vulnerability scanning is complementary.
