XSOAR automates indicator-driven actions through various trigger types. To execute a search automatically on a remote SIEM when new IP indicators are extracted, two components are needed:

Feed-triggered job (D)– The Admin Guide explains that jobs can be triggered when a feed updates. When new indicators are fetched, a feed-triggered job can automatically start a playbook.

Integration command (C)– The playbook executed by the job can call SIEM integration commands (such as siem-search, query-log, or custom search commands). These commands send API queries to the remote SIEM and return event/log results.

Reputation scripts (option A) evaluate or enrich indicators but do not execute SIEM searches. Enhancement scripts (option B) add contextual data to indicators but not remote searches.

Thus, the correct pair supported by XSOAR automation architecture is:

✅Integration Commandto perform the SIEM query

+

✅Feed-Triggered Jobto automatically initiate the action when new IP indicators appear.

This reflects XSOAR’s feed-driven automation workflow.

In Cortex XSOAR’s documented Dev/Prod deployment model, thedevelopment tenantis designed to be the workspace where engineers create, modify, test, and validate content before promoting it into production. As part of this workflow, the development tenant includes the“Export all custom content”feature, which generates a structured content bundle containing custom playbooks, integrations, fields, layouts, lists, and other artifacts. This bundle is then imported into the production tenant to ensure controlled, versioned, and tested promotion of content.

The Admin Guide highlights that this export capability isrestricted to the development environmentto preserve the integrity and stability of the production tenant. Production systems are intentionally limited, allowing only the import (not export) of custom content to prevent accidental overwriting, drift, or unintended modifications.

Marketplace access (A) exists in both tenants. Custom integration instances (C) can be created in either tenant. The Content Repository page (B) is also available across both environments.

Therefore, the only feature exclusive to the development tenant isD: “Export all custom content.”This ensures a safe, repeatable Dev→Prod promotion model aligned with enterprise change-control requirements.

Cortex XSOAR jobs are automated scheduled tasks used for running playbooks or scripts on a recurring basis. According to the Jobs documentation within the XSOAR Admin Guide, the available job trigger mechanisms includeTime-based triggersandDelta-based feed triggers.

ATimetrigger enables execution at scheduled intervals using either predefined frequency settings or a cron expression. This allows running jobs hourly, daily, weekly, etc.

ABy delta in feedtrigger launches a job when a connected feed detects changes (new, updated, or removed indicators). This is commonly used in threat-intelligence workflows to perform enrichment, normalization, or distribution when new indicator data arrives.

The other options listed do not exist within XSOAR’s job trigger configuration. "Mapping and Classification" are ingestion components, not job triggers. "Cron View and Human View" are simply formatting options for viewing scheduling expressions—not trigger types. "Script Start and CLI" describe execution methods for scripts, not job-initialization triggers.

Thus, optionBis the accurate and documented set of job trigger types available when creating a new job in XSOAR.
