Introducing Unit 42 Managed XSIAM 2.0
Palo Alto Networks, Tuesday, February 17th, 2026
The window for defense has collapsed, and most SOCs weren't built for the speed of today's attacks. According to the 2026 Unit 42 Global Incident Response Report, some end-to-end attacks now unfold in under an hour. Attacks that used to take days or weeks now happen in minutes.
Most traditional SOC models are trapped in a cycle of alert overload, fragmented tools and limited engineering capacity that slow investigations and delay response. Traditional SIEM and MDR models were designed to react to alerts. They were not designed to continuously improve detections, correlations and response with threats that move at machine speed. Over time, that gap between attacker speed and defender capability keeps widening, and it's exactly why we built Unit 42 Managed XSIAM 2.0 (MSIAM).
Today marks the availability of the next evolution of our managed SOC offering - one that reflects how modern security operations must run in today's threat landscape.
