Cortex Cloud: secure your cloud in the AI era
Autonomously eliminate risk from code to cloud to SOC. Application security, cloud security and security operations on one platform.
When frontier AI accelerates cloud attacks, defence cannot wait on manual response
Palo Alto Networks has brought its cloud security portfolio together under Cortex Cloud, and Prisma Cloud customers gain the capabilities of this platform. Cortex Cloud is positioned as the industry’s only converged platform unifying application security (ASPM), cloud posture (CSPM), runtime security (CWP/CDR) and security operations in one context.
With an agentic-first approach, it moves from seeing to doing, using autonomous AI agents to resolve risk dynamically from code to cloud to SOC. Best-in-class cloud detection and response (CDR) and AI-driven guardrails prevent risk before production.
Key capabilities
Agentic-first cloud security
Move from seeing to doing: autonomous agents resolve risk from code to cloud to SOC.
Real-time protection
Stop attacks with best-in-class CDR and prevent risk before production with AI guardrails.
Unified workflows
One platform with complete context across AppSec, CloudSec and SecOps.
Cloud posture security
Continuously detect and fix misconfigurations and compliance drift across multi-cloud.
AI-SPM
See and protect AI models, training data and agents in the cloud.
Application security
Catch code, dependency and CI/CD risk during development.
