Cortex Cloud 2.0 Brings AI Workforce to Cybersecurity

Siloed approaches to security are undermining the cloud’s boundless potential. By 2030, cloud investment will have increased by 4.6X due to AI, yet the increasing complexity is causing important risks to remain unresolved for an average of 120 days.

Palo Alto Networks is introducing Cortex CloudTM 2.0, the solution to this pervasive problem. A workforce of autonomous AI agents, a redesigned Cloud Command Center, and a performance-optimized CDR agent are all part of the upcoming iteration of its unified platform, which combines industry-leading CNAPP with best-in-class CDR.

Gonen Fink, EVP of Products, Cortex, Palo Alto Networks, said,

“Customers continue to struggle with fragmented tools across cloud posture and CDR, creating dangerous security gaps and complex operations. Cortex Cloud 2.0 represents a major advancement of the platform we launched eight months ago, which quickly became the preferred CNAPP for converged operations from code to cloud to SOC. Now, enterprises can further accelerate their cloud security transformation with powerful new capabilities designed to unlock new levels of automation, efficiency and protection.”

Workflows are automated by the recently released Cortex® AgentiXTM, freeing up security personnel for higher-value tasks. These agents, which have been trained on an astounding 1.2 billion real-world replies, significantly lower cloud risk by independently investigating and resolving complicated security concerns in a matter of minutes.

Its enterprise-grade safeguards guarantee that automated actions always adhere to the rules and procedures of the company program.

With a streamlined, attractive picture of the complete multicloud environment, the redesigned Command Center directs security teams to the most effective repair workflows by providing immediate, actionable insights into cloud assets, significant risks, and active threats.

With just one click, Cortex Cloud’s best-in-class CDR agent’s new performance-optimized mode can be activated for real-time protection with up to 50% less resource consumption. Strong protections that precisely match an organization’s application performance and security requirements can now be widely deployed.
