Platform Vs. Point Solution: Palo Alto Networks Addresses AI Security
Photo Illustration by Budrul Chukrut/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Nearly every enterprise is either deploying AI-powered applications or is preparing to deploy. Each of these efforts face the same challenge: every new AI application arrives with a new, and often overlooked, attack surface. Palo Alto Networks wants to help solve that problem. Its new Prisma AIRS platform, unveiled at this year's RSA Conference in San Francisco, offers a enterprises a comprehensive approach to protecting AI applications. The company also announced its intent to acquire Protect AI, an established provider of AI security solutions. Palo Alto will leverage Protect AI to enhance its Prisma AIRS offering and accelerate its capabilities in securing enterprise AI ecosystems. The rapid integration of AI across business functions creates a near-perfect storm of vulnerability. Enterprises are deploying AI applications and are using LLMs in virtually every department. This accelerates innovation, but it also introduces new security blind spots. These new security gaps create opportunities for sophisticated attacks, including model manipulation, data poisoning, and prompt injection attacks that traditional security tools are ill-equipped to handle. The statistics tell a sobering story: while 90% of organizations are actively implementing or planning to explore large language model use cases, a mere 5% express high confidence in their AI security preparedness. This gap between adoption and protection represents a technical vulnerability and a strategic business risk that demands immediate attention from executive leadership. Palo Alto Networks' Prisma AIRS, short for "AI Runtime Security,' is a comprehensive platform designed to address these challenges by protecting the entire enterprise AI ecosystem. Its protection spans development to deployment, including protection for applications, agents, models, and data. Prisma AIRS delivers five critical capabilities: Prisma AIRS is a continuation of Palo Alto Networks' 'platformization' strategy, first unveiled in April 2024. Platformization emphasizes unifying diverse security capabilities into cohesive platform, instead of more legacy approaches of offering disconnected point solutions. Prisma AIRS brings this philosophy into the AI security domain, where fragmentation would be particularly detrimental. Palo Alto's platform-centric architecture gives the company several significant advantages: reduced complexity, streamlined management, comprehensive visibility, and enhanced operational efficiency. By integrating AI security into their broader platformization framework, Palo Alto Networks builds on this, allowing organizations to address the full spectrum of AI vulnerabilities while maintaining consistency with existing security operations. Acquiring Protect AI, a key player in AI application protection, further strengthens the story. Its integration into Palo Alto Networks' ecosystem creates a formidable market advantage that reinforces the company's platformization strategy. The AI security market is evolving rapidly. Platform security leaders like Palo Alto Networks and Cisco have taken decisive early positions, with Cisco's acquisition of Robust Intelligence showing a serious commitment to this space. Traditional cybersecurity firms, including Fortinet, Zscaler, and Netskope, are extending their security portfolios to address AI-specific threats, though often with less comprehensive approaches than dedicated platforms. The market has also attracted specialized AI security startups like Lakera and HiddenLayer, which develop focused solutions for specific AI security challenges but may lack the integration capabilities of larger players. Palo Alto Networks' advantage emerges from its early market entry combined with the comprehensive nature of Prisma AIRS. The platform's integrated, proactive security measures, like scanning and posture management, alongside reactive runtime protection capabilities, make it a compelling offering. There's little question that the gap between AI adoption and security preparedness is a significant business risk that demands attention. As Anand Oswal, SVP and GM at Palo Alto Networks, aptly noted when announcing the new offering: " As organizations integrate AI into every aspect of their operations, securing it requires a runtime security platform that provides continuous visibility and real-time insight. Without this, security teams are left in the dark about how AI is being used, misused, or manipulated, which puts critical data and decisions at risk." The reality is that we're in a world where AI adoption is no longer optional, making security solutions like Prisma AIRS essential. Making AI safe and secure allows businesses to harness AI's transformative potential while avoiding its most significant risks. The enterprises that address these challenges comprehensively and strategically will be best positioned to thrive in the age of AI. Prisma AIRS isn't the only product announcement made by Palo Alto at RSAC. It also released a significant update to its Cortex Cloud offering. Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM 3.0 brings new email protection capabilities and exposure management capabilities to its integrated solution. The two announcements show an aggressive and comprehensive approach to enterprise-class cybersecurity. The early winners in the AI protection market will be the companies that help enterprises achieve this level of protection. Innovations like Prisma AIRS, coupled with the rapid evolution of its Cortex Cloud, show a deep understanding of current enterprise needs. It's precisely this that makes Palo Alto Networks one of the fastest moving and most dominant players in the industry.

Palo Alto Networks launches Prisma AIRS to secure enterprise AI
Palo Alto Networks has unveiled Prisma AIRS, an AI security platform designed to offer protection for the entire enterprise AI ecosystem, including applications, agents, models, and data. The platform addresses the security needs of organisations adopting AI technologies at scale, particularly as enterprises increasingly employ AI applications and large language models (LLMs) in varied functions such as customer support and code generation. Prisma AIRS provides several key security capabilities, including AI model scanning to detect vulnerabilities, posture management to monitor permissions and data exposures, AI red teaming to simulate attacks against AI systems, runtime security to guard against evolving threats during operation, and security for AI agents, including those built with no-code or low-code tools. AI model scanning enables organisations to assess their AI models for vulnerabilities such as tampering, malicious scripts, and deserialization attacks. This component aims to help organisations adopt AI models safely by identifying security risks before deployment. Posture management provides insights into security risks associated with an enterprise's AI ecosystem. It highlights issues such as excessive permissions, sensitive data exposure, and both platform and access misconfigurations. The AI red teaming feature allows organisations to perform automated penetration testing on AI applications and models by utilising a red teaming agent. This agent stress-tests AI deployments, learning and adapting like a real attacker to uncover potential exposures and lurking risks before malicious actors can exploit them. Runtime security within Prisma AIRS protects AI applications powered by LLMs against threats encountered during operation. These threats may include prompt injection, malicious code execution, toxic content, sensitive data leaks, resource overload, and hallucination. To address risks associated with AI agents, Prisma AIRS includes safeguards for both standard and no-code/low-code platforms. It aims to defend against agentic threats such as identity impersonation, memory manipulation, and misuse of tools. Lee Klarich, Chief Product Officer for Palo Alto Networks, said, "AI agents and apps are transforming the way we work and live. In parallel, the attack surface isn't just expanding, it's fundamentally changing. The last thing organizations need is more point products to secure their use of AI. Organizations need best-in-class security delivered via the right architecture - platformization is that architecture. Prisma AIRS addresses both traditional and AI specific threats with best-in-class security capabilities delivered in a comprehensive, unified AI security platform that enables organizations to deploy AI bravely." Anand Oswal, Senior Vice President and General Manager at Palo Alto Networks, added, "As organizations integrate AI into every aspect of their operations, securing it requires a runtime security platform that provides continuous visibility and real-time insight. Without this, security teams are left in the dark about how AI is being used, misused, or manipulated, which puts critical data and decisions at risk. Prisma AIRS empowers teams with answers to essential questions, like whether someone is exploiting an LLM to extract sensitive information or if a compromised API is feeding the model poisoned data. These insights are vital to maintaining trust and safeguarding AI." Palo Alto Networks indicated that Prisma AIRS would be enhanced by the company's plans to acquire Protect AI. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be finalised in the first quarter of the company's fiscal 2026. Protect AI focuses on securing the use of AI, aligning with Palo Alto Networks' efforts to address AI security concerns comprehensively.
