Extends AI security leadership with comprehensive protection for the entire AI lifecycle
Palo Alto Networks recently announced it has completed its acquisition of Protect AI, an innovative leader in securing Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications and models.
The acquisition accelerates Palo Alto Networks’ commitment to securing the next generation of technology infrastructure, a landscape increasingly defined by the rapid proliferation of AI.
The result is a single company to meet the demand from organizations across every major industry—from finance, government, and healthcare to manufacturing and retail—all of whom are leveraging AI to innovate, establishing Palo Alto Networks as the definitive standard for comprehensive AI security.
“The promise of AI is immense, but so are the security risks. Our customers are moving quickly to adopt AI and are asking for a partner who can secure their entire AI ecosystem on scale,” asserted Anand Oswal, SVP and GM, Network Security, Palo Alto Networks.
Integrating capabilities
“We are thrilled to integrate our capabilities into Prisma AIRS and continue innovating to empower a broader set of customers to build and deploy AI bravely,” affirmed Protect AI CEO Ian Swanson, who now joins Palo Alto Networks as VP, Product, Prisma AIRS.
Innovation and technology leader Leidos, a strategic partner to both companies, is already demonstrating safe AI acceleration for government customers with Prisma AIRS, reflecting the anticipation of hundreds of organizations for a single, comprehensive security platform.
“As one of the early adopters of Protect AI, Leidos is proud to help the most advanced government and industry users build, deploy, and manage secure AI systems aligned with national security objectives,” noted Eric Moore, CTO, Digital Modernization Sector, Leidos.
