A security supplier in the AI stack
Palo Alto Networks is an enterprise cybersecurity company. Its AI-specific offering, Prisma AIRS, covers model supply-chain risks, application testing, runtime behavior and posture management. Those are security controls around an AI deployment, rather than a claim to develop the foundation model underneath it. [1][3]
The Protect AI acquisition
The company completed its purchase of Protect AI in July 2025. The completion announcement connects the acquired technology and team to Prisma AIRS. That is the concrete corporate milestone behind this profile's relationship with Protect AI. [2]
Several layers of protection
The current Prisma AIRS page distinguishes scanning model artifacts, red-team testing of agents and applications, and protection during live interactions. Each addresses a different part of the deployment lifecycle. The advertised breadth of the platform should be separated from evidence about how a particular control performs in a particular environment. [3]
