I'm a FinOps lead at a 300-person SaaS shop. We run Cortex XDR across our AWS estate (mostly serverless containers, some VMs). We migrated from PAN's ...

Five checks over 90 seconds is still aggressive. Your orchestration logic is costing you runtime in both regions the entire time. That's double the co...
