Palo Alto Networks

AI is everywhere. Governance isn't 🔐 Developers are spinning up AI apps faster than ever. It's great for innovation, but without a clear security strategy, the enterprise is left exposed. To secure the business without slowing developers down, Jaimin Patel breaks down how Prisma’s AI Gateway layers machine-speed governance, runtime security, and total visibility right into the workflow. See how it works. https://bit.ly/4cnd7GF

Data-led narratives drive faster, better executive decisions. That’s the growth mindset driving our Wharton MBA Intern, Abhimanyu, on the Cortex Cloud GTM Strategy team. From leveraging AI to automate complex workflows to turning data insights into actionable GTM narratives, he is making a massive operational impact this summer. We love seeing our interns embrace the #LifeAtPaloAltoNetworks ecosystem to push boundaries, tackle complex cloud security challenges, and stay curious, whether analyzing business strategy or planning their next adventure travel experience.

AI agents. Identity. Data trust. Quantum. The browser. Some of the biggest forces reshaping cybersecurity are converging, and the implications for defenders are only beginning to emerge. Haider Pasha takes stock of how the threat landscape has evolved in 2026 and looks ahead to what could come next, from agent-on-agent conflict to the growing governance challenges surrounding AI. Explore his perspective on what security leaders should have on their radar.

Four years. Two Magic Quadrant™ reports. One consistent recognition. Palo Alto Networks has been recognized as a Leader in both the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge (SSE) and SASE Platforms for the fourth consecutive year. In the 2026 Magic Quadrant for SSE, Palo Alto Networks was positioned highest for Ability to Execute and furthest for Completeness of Vision for Prisma Access. As AI reshapes how enterprises work and how they're attacked, we're continuing to rethink SASE for what comes next. See what’s behind our approach to securing the AI-powered enterprise. https://bit.ly/4qES6go

Palo Alto Networks has officially closed its acquisition of Embrace. By adding Real User Monitoring (RUM) and Synthetics, built by our Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM) team, to our Observability platform, we are empowering organizations to gain a complete view of end-user interactions alongside backend infrastructure to: 🟧 Eliminate blindspots 🟧 Prevent revenue-impacting downtime 🟧 Catch problems before any user does Learn how to transform your digital experience monitoring ➡️ https://bit.ly/4xHGZGt

Agentic AI, and especially AI coding agents like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor, can access repos, invoke tools, connect through MCP, and exchange sensitive data with AI models. Spencer Thellmann shows how Prisma AIRS AI Gateway, powered by AI Runtime Security, provides inline protection across these interactions: 🔵 Stop runtime threats: Detect and block prompt injection and malicious AI interactions. 🔵 Protect code and secrets: Inspect prompts and responses for sensitive data. 🔵 Enforce context-aware policy: Apply controls based on agents, apps, models, and workflows. 🔵 Maintain accountability: Log interactions and security verdicts for investigation. Secure AI from prompt to action. https://bit.ly/4wLKUkd

Is your EDR keeping up with autonomous AI agents? 🤖🛡️ As enterprises rapidly adopt frontier AI and autonomous development tools, a critical security gap is opening up at the endpoint. Traditional EDR solutions were built for human-driven workflows and standard malware, leaving them virtually blind to the unique risks posed by agentic AI. To protect the modern software supply chain without slowing down innovation, security teams need total AI visibility, proactive governance controls, continuous risk context, and real-time prevention built natively on the endpoint. Read our latest blog to learn how Agentic Endpoint Security closes the visibility gap. https://bit.ly/3UJ6Tuu

Securing agentic AI means extending established security practices to include logic interpreted by LLMs at runtime 🔒 Instead of following fixed scripts, models interpret conversational goals. That flexibility can create risk. An agent may misinterpret context, misuse its permissions, and become a “confused deputy,” manipulated into performing unauthorized or high risk actions. The skills agents rely on can introduce another layer of risk. Because skills can direct agents to run local commands or access backend systems, a modified skill can trigger unauthorized operations even when the core application code remains unchanged. In this AI Security Nexus Active Defense series, Ben Meadows, Sr. Product Manager, explores these risks and approaches to securing agentic workflows.

“Did you get to work on real projects, or was it ‘intern work’?” “100% real stuff.” That’s how Julia, a rising junior at Cal Poly, describes her summer as an Early Talent Programs Intern at Palo Alto Networks. From helping shape the intern experience for her peers to using AI in her day-to-day work, Julia says what surprised her most was the trust and responsibility she was given from day one. In our latest 15 Questions with PANW, she shares what she learned, what changed her perspective on a career in cybersecurity, and her advice for the next generation of interns. https://bit.ly/4isx4PU #lifeAtPaloAltoNetworks
