Palo Alto Networks, a cybersecurity company, has announced two major platform upgrades that redefine the future of AI-driven security across Cloud and enterprise environments – Cortex Cloud 2.0 and Prisma AIRS 2.0.

As AI transforms how enterprises build, manage and secure digital systems, organisations are grappling with increasing complexity and risk. This dual launch addresses these twin frontiers — securing the cloud and securing AI — through a unified vision that combines automation, intelligence, and protection at every layer.

Key highlights

Cortex Cloud 2.0

Autonomous AI Agents: Cortex AgentiX automates security workflows using 1.2 billion real-world responses, resolving risks in minutes.
Unified Command Center – A new Cloud Command Centre provides real-time, actionable visibility into assets, risks, and threats across multi-Cloud environments.
Performance-Optimised CDR Agent – Offers real-time protection with up to 50% less processing consumption, enabling security without performance tradeoffs.
Pre-Production Risk Prevention – Enhanced Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) identifies vulnerabilities 10x faster and more cost-effectively than post-production fixes.
Global Availability – Rolling out automated upgrades to customers worldwide by mid-2026.

Prisma AIRS 2.0

Comprehensive AI Lifecycle Security – Secures everything from autonomous AI agents to the models themselves for full-stack AI protection.
AI Agent Security – Provides real-time defense against prompt injections, tool misuse and malicious behaviour — even detecting “Shadow AI.”
Autonomous Red Teaming – Continuously hunts for vulnerabilities using 500+ specialised attacks in a persistent, AI-driven red team simulation.
AI Model Security – Performs deep architectural analysis to detect AI-native threats like data poisoning and backdoors.
Integrated Enterprise Partnerships – Strengthened by alliances like PwC’s AI risk governance frameworks, enabling secure AI adoption at scale.
