Palo Alto Networks announced it has completed its acquisition of Protect AI, an innovative leader in securing Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications and models.
The integration of Protect AI's forward-thinking technology and its team of experts will be a cornerstone of Palo Alto Networks' Prisma AIRS, a comprehensive AI security platform. The combination of Protect AI and Palo Alto Networks brings together model scanning, posture management, AI red teaming, runtime protection, and AI agent security.
