Palo Alto Networks Introduces Prisma AIRS for Enterprise AI Security
Palo Alto Networks has launched Prisma AIRS, a new AI security platform aimed at safeguarding enterprise AI applications, models, data, and agents as AI adoption grows.
Palo Alto Networks has introduced Prisma AIRS, a comprehensive AI security platform designed to protect the entire enterprise AI ecosystem. The platform addresses the growing need for robust security as organizations increasingly adopt AI technologies, including large language models (LLMs) and AI-driven applications.
Key Features of Prisma AIRS
- AI Model Scanning: Identifies vulnerabilities such as tampering, malicious scripts, and deserialization attacks before deployment.
- Posture Management: Monitors permissions, data exposures, and misconfigurations to mitigate risks.
- AI Red Teaming: Simulates attacks using an adaptive agent to uncover potential security gaps.
- Runtime Security: Protects AI applications from threats like prompt injection, toxic content, and data leaks during operation.
- AI Agent Security: Safeguards both standard and no-code/low-code AI agents against threats like identity impersonation and tool misuse.
Executive Insights
Lee Klarich, Chief Product Officer at Palo Alto Networks, emphasized the transformative impact of AI agents and apps, stating, "The attack surface isn't just expanding, it's fundamentally changing. Prisma AIRS delivers best-in-class security via a unified platform, enabling organizations to deploy AI bravely."
Anand Oswal, Senior Vice President and General Manager, highlighted the importance of visibility: "Without real-time insights, security teams are left in the dark about AI misuse. Prisma AIRS provides critical answers to safeguard trust and data."
Future Enhancements
Palo Alto Networks plans to enhance Prisma AIRS through its pending acquisition of Protect AI, expected to close in Q1 of fiscal 2026. Protect AI specializes in AI security, aligning with Palo Alto Networks' mission to address AI-related threats comprehensively.
This launch underscores Palo Alto Networks' commitment to securing the rapidly evolving AI landscape, ensuring enterprises can leverage AI safely and confidently.
