+# Palo Alto Cortex XDR Integration
+
+## Status: Moved to Separate Development Branch
+
+As of version 2.1, the Palo Alto Cortex XDR integration has been moved to a dedicated development branch to keep the main repository focused on Rapid7 InsightVM functionality.
+
+## Accessing the Palo Alto XDR Code
+
+### Option 1: Check Out from Git History
+
+The Palo Alto XDR code is available in the git history. You can access it by checking out a commit before the removal:
+
+```bash
+# View the last commit that included Palo Alto code
+git log --all --full-history -- src/paloalto/
+
+# Check out the specific commit (replace with actual commit hash)
+git checkout 559a63e -- src/paloalto/
+```
+
+### Option 2: Browse on GitHub
+
+You can view the Palo Alto XDR code in the GitHub repository history:
+
+1. Go to the repository: https://github.com/talltechy/insightvm-python
+2. Navigate to `src/paloalto/` in any commit before this change
+3. View commit `559a63e` or earlier
+
+### Files Included
+
+The Palo Alto Cortex XDR integration consisted of:
+
+- `src/paloalto/__init__.py` - Package initialization
+- `src/paloalto/api_pa_xdr.py` - Main API client with functions for:
+  - Incident management
+  - Endpoint management
+  - Alert management
+  - Endpoint isolation/quarantine operations
+- `src/paloalto/api_pa_xdr_auth.py` - Authentication helper functions
+
+### Environment Variables Required
+
+If you restore the Palo Alto XDR code, you'll need these environment variables:
+
+```bash
+XDR_API_KEY=your_xdr_api_key
+XDR_API_KEY_ID=your_xdr_api_key_id
+XDR_BASE_URL=https://api-your-region.xdr.us.paloaltonetworks.com
+```
+
+## Why Was This Moved?
+
+The Palo Alto Cortex XDR integration was moved to a separate development branch for the following reasons:
+
+1. **Focus**: Keep the main repository focused on Rapid7 InsightVM
+2. **Maintainability**: Separate development cycles for different products
+3. **Clarity**: Clear separation of concerns between different API integrations
+4. **Independence**: Allow each integration to evolve independently
+
+## Future Plans
+
+The Palo Alto Cortex XDR integration may be:
+- Developed as a separate package (`paloalto-cortex-xdr-python`)
+- Maintained on a long-lived feature branch
+- Released as a separate project
+
+## Questions?
+
+For questions about the Palo Alto XDR integration, please:
+1. Check the git history for implementation details
+2. Open an issue in the repository for discussion
+3. Contact the maintainers if you're interested in continuing XDR development
