Demisto

Demisto is a Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform that unifies incident case management, playbook-driven automation, real-time analyst collaboration (the "War Room"), and threat-intelligence management. Founded as an independent security startup backed by Accel and Greylock, Demisto was acquired by Palo Alto Networks in 2019 for roughly $560M and rebranded as Cortex XSOAR; the demisto.com domain now redirects to the Cortex XSOAR product. The Demisto REST API exposes incidents, war-room entries, evidence, threat indicators, and automation scripts programmatically, with a Swagger 2.0 specification, an official Python client (demisto-py), and a content-development SDK/CLI (demisto-sdk). This API Evangelist profile was enriched from the provider's public developer surface (xsoar.pan.dev, docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com, and the github.com/demisto organization).

Demisto publishes 24 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Apikeys API, Automation API, Classifier API, and 21 more. Tagged areas include Company, Security, SOAR, Incident Response, and Threat Intelligence.

Demisto’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, CLI, changelog, and 17 more developer resources.
