PAN-OS 10.1 enables you to connect your firewalls to Cortex Data Lake using the same device certificate that you use to authenticate to other Palo Alto Networks cloud services such as Cortex XDR, IoT Security, and Enterprise Data Loss Prevention. This simplifies the Cortex Data Lake onboarding process if you already have a device certificate installed.

Formerly, devices used a logging service certificate specific to Cortex Data Lake to connect to the service. Now, firewalls and Panorama on PAN-OS 10.1 or later can use a device certificate. When onboarding to Cortex Data Lake, make sure to follow the onboarding process appropriate for your deployment style.
