Palo Alto Networks Cortex Data Lake (previously called the Logging Service) provides cloud-based logging for our security products, including our next-generation firewalls, Prisma Access, and Cortex XDR. Cortex Data Lake lets you collect ever-expanding volumes of data without needing to plan for local compute and storage, and is ready to scale from the start. Once you're sending logs to Cortex Data Lake, you can start leveraging Cortex apps that analyze and report on your network, cloud, and endpoint data.
This cloud-based logging infrastructure is available in multiple regions. Review the Cortex Data Lake privacy datasheet for details on how network data is captured, processed, and stored.
