Deepinfo vs. Cortex Xpanse.
Cortex Xpanse is Palo Alto Networks' EASM, acquired around 2020 and increasingly tied to the Cortex XSIAM ecosystem. It's a sensible default if your organization is committed to the Palo Alto stack. Deepinfo is deployable independent of any larger SIEM or SOAR ecosystem, with broader use cases that extend past pure EASM into CTI, BRP, and TPRM.
Independent platform vs. ecosystem-anchored EASM.
Cortex Xpanse increasingly assumes you're running the Palo Alto Networks stack. The integration into Cortex XSIAM, XSOAR, and the broader Palo Alto product family is well-instrumented; the architectural assumption is that XSIAM is your security platform.
Deepinfo is deliberately stack-agnostic. It integrates with whichever SIEM or SOAR your team operates, doesn't assume any single vendor's ecosystem, and offers integrated CTI, BRP, and TPRM modules beyond pure EASM. For organizations that maintain multi-vendor stacks deliberately, that independence has commercial and architectural value.
Four places Deepinfo extends beyond EASM-in-an-ecosystem.
Independent of any SIEM/SOAR ecosystem.
Cortex Xpanse is increasingly tightly integrated with Cortex XSIAM and the broader Palo Alto stack. Deepinfo integrates with Splunk, Sentinel, Elastic, and any SIEM your team runs, plus SOAR-friendly webhooks and ticketing connectors. No commitment to a single vendor's broader product family.
Integrated CTI, BRP, TPRM as well as EASM.
Cortex Xpanse is EASM. Deepinfo is EASM plus Cyber Threat Intelligence, plus Brand Risk Protection, plus Third-Party Risk Management, all in one platform sharing the same dataset. With Xpanse you buy EASM inside the Palo Alto ecosystem and integrate other categories from elsewhere.
Internet-scale dataset Deepinfo owns end-to-end.
Xpanse leans on the broader Palo Alto telemetry plus their own discovery infrastructure. Deepinfo indexes the internet itself: 400M+ domains, 2B+ subdomains, 200B+ DNS records, 30B+ SSL certificates. The dataset is ours end-to-end with our own cadence; not constrained to a packaged-product release cycle.
Direct dataset access via Data Feeds and APIs.
Deepinfo exposes the underlying dataset as Data Feeds and API Services for engineering teams that want to build with it directly. Xpanse is consumed primarily through the Cortex portal; raw dataset access for external tooling isn't the offering.
Xpanse fits the Palo-Alto-committed shop.
If your organization is standardized on the Palo Alto Networks stack, XSIAM as SIEM, XSOAR as SOAR, Prisma for cloud, the firewall fleet, Cortex Xpanse is a natural extension. The integration is well-instrumented; the licensing rolls into existing commercial agreements; the operational model is consistent with the rest of the Cortex family.
For organizations that operate multi-vendor stacks deliberately, want broader external-exposure capabilities than EASM alone, or value dataset independence, Deepinfo is the more flexible option.
