RAM	512MB minimum; 2GB recommended
Hard disk space	200MB minimum; 20GB recommended
Operating system versions	Palo Alto Networks supports Cortex XDR agent on many operating systems. To determine the minimum Cortex XDR agent release for a specific operating system, refer to Where can I install the Cortex XDR Agent in the Palo Alto Networks® Compatibility Matrix.
Networking	Allow communication on the TCP port from the Cortex XDR agent to server (the default is port 443). Allow the Cortex XDR management console and agent to communicate with external and internal resources required for enforcing endpoint protection.
