Palo Alto Networks sells network security, security operations, cloud security, identity security, AI security and observability platforms, along with threat intelligence and incident response services. Palo Alto Networks says the Strata Network Security Platform is built for Zero Trust and powered by AI, and that Strata proactively monitors, analyzes and prevents sophisticated threats in real time.

On the network side, Palo Alto Networks offers next-generation firewalls as physical appliances and virtualized firewalls. Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls can be managed individually or centrally using Panorama, and Strata Cloud Manager supports them. Palo Alto Networks says its hardware firewalls are a foundational part of its network security platform. Palo Alto Networks says its NGFW uses App-ID technology to classify applications across all ports, regardless of protocol, evasion tactic, or encryption. Palo Alto Networks says its NGFW can decrypt SSL/TLS traffic to inspect for threats and prevent data loss. Palo Alto Networks says every internet-connected NGFW in a network is updated within single-digit seconds of an analysis through zero-delay signatures. Palo Alto Networks says an IoT device can be profiled to reveal its type, vendor, model and firmware. Palo Alto Networks says its latest Next-Generation Firewall is managed by Palo Alto Networks and procured in the AWS Marketplace. Palo Alto Networks describes protecting inbound, outbound and east-west traffic between container trust zones and other workload types in Kubernetes environments.

For security operations, Abraxas Informatik AG provides end-to-end IT solutions for the public sector in Switzerland. Abraxas had a Cortex XDR endpoint deployment and then explored Cortex XSIAM to create an AI-powered security operations center platform. Abraxas says Cortex XSIAM unites SIEM and EDR in one integrated solution. Cortex XSIAM provides SecOps across 3,000 clients and in-house Abraxas devices. Abraxas says some 30% of cases are now resolved automatically. Palo Alto Networks also describes Cortex XCOR as an AI-driven platform for observability that delivers autonomous remediation and nearly 90% data volume reduction.

For cloud security, Palo Alto Networks says its cloud platform merges a CNAPP with CDR. Cortex Cloud Runtime Security unifies posture, runtime, and investigation workflows. Prisma Cloud is deployed as a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP).

For identity, Palo Alto Networks says Idira secures every identity for the enterprise, human, machine and agentic, with a unified control plane. Idira training courses cover PAM and EPM. For AI security, Palo Alto Networks sells Prisma AIRS, an AI security platform designed to secure the entire enterprise AI ecosystem and to protect AI applications and LLM deployments. Prisma AIRS offers deployment modes such as Network Intercept and API Intercept. Palo Alto Networks says Prisma AIRS uses the Precision AI engine to monitor AI traffic and detect threats such as prompt injection, sensitive data exposure, malicious URLs and toxic content. Prisma AIRS provides dedicated AI Agent Security against risks such as memory manipulation and tool misuse. Prisma AIRS AI Gateway brings AI governance, identity and runtime controls together in one place. Prisma AIRS AI Gateway intercepts and optimizes agentic traffic while inspecting and securing communications to protect agents from attacks.
