Palo Alto Networks launched Prisma AIRS 2.0, an end-to-end AI security platform.
It natively integrates Protect AI to secure the entire AI application lifecycle.
The platform defends AI agents in real-time against prompt injection and misuse.
It features autonomous, continuous AI red teaming with over 500 specialized attacks.
AI Model Security performs deep architectural analysis to find hidden threats.
The solution aims to secure autonomous agents, models, and their interactions.
Confronting the AI Security Gap
Prisma AIRS 2.0 is engineered to meet the urgent demand for robust AI security, providing protection from development to production. The platform seamlessly connects deep model inspection with real-time agent defense, all continuously validated by autonomous red teaming. This gives enterprises the visibility and control needed to secure interactions between AI models, agents, data, and users. Anand Oswal, Executive Vice President of Network Security at Palo Alto Networks, stated: "AI is transforming every enterprise, creating extraordinary opportunities and new risks. Prisma AIRS 2.0 bridges that gap... turning security into an accelerator for innovation, not an obstacle."
Three Pillars of Comprehensive AI Defense
The platform's enhanced capabilities are organized into three core modules. AI Agent Security provides real-time, in-line defense for the autonomous workforce, discovering all agents and defending against prompt injections and malicious behavior. AI Red Teaming uses an autonomous, agentic approach with over 500 attacks to proactively hunt for vulnerabilities in generative AI applications. AI Model Security shields open-source deployments by performing deep architectural analysis to detect sophisticated, AI-native threats like backdoors and data poisoning that traditional scanners miss.
Enabling Secure Innovation at Scale
The platform is already trusted by global leaders in finance, healthcare, and government. By providing a unified approach to AI security, it allows organizations to accelerate their AI adoption confidently. Harshul Joshi, Principal at PwC US, highlighted the strategic importance, noting the alliance with Palo Alto Networks provides a "full-lifecycle, 'secure-by-design' assurance and managed defense required for our clients to innovate with AI, confidently and at scale."
With Prisma AIRS 2.0, Palo Alto Networks sets a new benchmark for AI defense, offering a natively integrated platform that secures today's AI deployments while being engineered to protect against the computational and autonomous threats of tomorrow.
