Zero Networks has announced a major expansion of its integration with Palo Alto Networks, extending the companies' joint solution from automated microsegmentation and firewall policy orchestration to zero-touch containment and AI security. The expanded integration enables customers to identify and contain threats at the individual asset level, redirect selected traffic to Palo Alto Networks security services, and manage enforcement through Strata Cloud Manager.
Zero Networks expands Palo Alto Networks integration with zero-touch containment.
Enables traffic redirection to Palo Alto Networks firewalls for Layer 7 inspection.
Manages enforcement through Strata Cloud Manager for unified visibility.
Brings together Zero Networks AI Segmentation and Prisma AIRS to govern AI agents.
Linux traffic redirection available now, with Windows support planned.
Dynamic asset tagging keeps policies current as workloads move and change.
Zero Networks enables zero-touch containment by continuously mapping communication between assets and automatically creating least-privilege policies based on observed business activity. Through the expanded integration, selected traffic from protected workloads can be redirected to Palo Alto Networks firewalls for deeper Layer 7 inspection, enabling the platforms to block suspicious activity and contain affected assets before threats spread. Zero Networks-managed assets and policies can now be surfaced through Strata Cloud Manager, giving security teams a consolidated view of discovered assets, segmentation policies, and the Palo Alto Networks controls inspecting their traffic.
The expanded integration brings Zero Networks AI Segmentation together with Palo Alto Networks Prisma AIRS to provide security controls for AI agents and their traffic. Zero Networks identifies and governs AI agents, applying identity-based policies to restrict each agent to approved systems and destinations, while blocking unsanctioned AI services. When deeper inspection is needed, selected AI traffic can be redirected to Prisma AIRS for AI-aware threat prevention, combining control over where AI agents can connect with inspection of their prompts, responses, and data flows.
"Zero Networks controls which connections are allowed, Palo Alto Networks provides deep inspection," said Benny Lakunishok, Co-founder and CEO of Zero Networks. "Together, we can contain malicious activity before it can move across the environment."
About Zero Networks
Zero Networks helps organizations prevent attacks, minimize blast radius, and maintain business continuity – even when attackers get inside. By making every connection verified and intentional through identity-driven microsegmentation, Zero Networks tightly limits lateral movement, reduces operational risk, and strengthens cyber resilience. The platform deploys quickly and enforces adaptive, automated policies that eliminate manual management, technology sprawl, and long-term operational debt.
