We need to talk about why your next data security purchase might be your biggest mistake. 54% of enterprises are already juggling four or more tools to manage data risk. Bolting another AI-powered solution onto a fragmented architecture doesn't close blind spots; it multiplies alerts and adds noise you can't afford. The fix isn't another tool. It's a better foundation: unified policies, normalized classification, and shifting controls away from the user and applying them directly to the data asset. Read on to learn how you can rebuild for the AI era 👇

For the 4th year in a row, Gartner® has named Palo Alto Networks a Leader in Endpoint Protection Platforms! From pioneering XDR to redefining endpoint security for the agentic era, we stop the attacks others miss. Here’s our takeaways from the report: ✅ Secure Agentic AI: Unprecedented visibility and control over AI agents and agentic tools. ✅ Stop the Unseen: Battle-tested, industry-leading prevention. ✅ Unify Your Defense: Consolidate workspace security with a 4-time Leader.

This is the next chapter in platformization, enabling our customers to stay secure and resilient in the AI era. See the full announcement here. https://bit.ly/4tWLYQB

For the first time in history, one of the world's largest sporting tournaments will be jointly hosted across three nations. Staging 104 matches on this massive scale requires an unprecedented network infrastructure. This makes it a primary target for attacks ranging from cybercrime and hacktivism to geopolitical threats. Our latest Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Insights blog connects the dots between this massive network footprint and the actual fan experience by breaking down the threat picture pre-game to post-game: ⚽️ Direct disruptions to stadium systems and local utilities during matches ⚽️ Overloaded networks freezing ticketing platforms and fan websites ⚽️ Hotel network hacks locking up bookings and digital room keys See the full risk breakdown. https://bit.ly/4tYlq1i

Have questions about identity security? Just ask Amy Blackshaw, CISSP 😎 When it comes to the AI enterprise, Zero Standing Privilege is the new non-negotiable. Non-human workflows are essential, but leaving standing access open gives attackers a clear path to your critical infrastructure. Securing that path requires knowing exactly where those identities live and governing them from end to end. Idira by Palo Alto Networks provides the right level of control to make sure that even if a credential is compromised, lateral movement is stopped in its tracks. Learn more. https://bit.ly/4u4KLaS

The world is going agentic so it's time to pass the mic to a security strategy that can keep up 🎤 As AI agents join the workforce with the power to access sensitive data across every browser and endpoint, runtime visibility is the only way to stay ahead. Without this level of control, your innovation can quickly turn into a massive enterprise blind spot. Our team outlines what it takes to secure the agentic enterprise with Prisma AIRS 3.0. https://bit.ly/43mo7ip

Lines of code blink into existence in seconds, but convenience has turned the modern software supply chain into a black box 🗃️ When code is summoned rather than written, traditional accountability disappears. With AI tools 40% more likely to leak a secret into your repository and 78% of leaders anticipating a security reckoning, relying on surface-level impressions is a massive business risk. We're restoring traceability to AI-assisted environments through Idira by Palo Alto Networks. By anchoring workloads and autonomous agents with cryptographic proof, we establish verified machine identities to ensure every line of code can be tracked, signed, and verified before it reaches production. Learn what it takes to add human judgment to AI-driven development.

Watching this recap brings all that incredible New York City energy right back 🗽 We're hosting Ignite on Tour this year for one simple reason. The threat landscape is evolving way too fast for us to sit still. AI is fundamentally reshaping the world, and yesterday's security approaches simply cannot keep up with tomorrow's adversaries. Taking our flagship conference directly to you means we get to tackle these massive shifts face to face. We spent Wednesday unpacking how to turn security from a roadblock into a true enabler of innovation. It was amazing to see so many leaders connecting over how to safely harness agentic workflows and simplify their operations. Watch to see how we are building the future together. Toronto, you're up next! 🇨🇦

Are you worried about well-meaning employees exposing sensitive data inside AI prompts? We have good news. Palo Alto Networks and Anthropic are closing the enterprise AI blind spot to enable the safe use of Claude across your organization. By integrating Anthropic’s Compliance API with Cortex Cloud DSPM, we turn conversational interactions into governable events. Security teams can now automatically scan for PII, detect anomalies and stop data leakage in real time without slowing down productivity. Learn more. https://bit.ly/49bkKhN
