Partners Fuel Innovation with Cortex XSIAM & Prisma SASE

🚀 Palo Alto Networks announced that partners voted Cortex XSIAM as CRN’s 2025 Product of the Year for Security Operations Platform/SIEM and Prisma SASE as a 2025 Tech Innovator. Solution providers credited XSIAM’s AI-driven approach for sweeping the evaluation — leading in technology, revenue and customer need — and praised its ability to shift SOCs from tool management to outcome delivery. Partners highlighted Prisma SASE’s multicloud architecture, unified policies and AI copilot as essential for securing hybrid workforces, informed by feedback from over 70,000 customers and the recent Prisma SASE 4.0 release. Palo Alto frames these awards as validation of platform convergence and continued partner enablement.

Why AI Security Requires an Integrated Platform and Governance

🔒 Gartner and Palo Alto Networks argue that AI security must be treated as a platform problem to manage accelerating generative AI risk, cost and complexity. The post recommends a two‑phase path: start with AI usage control to govern third‑party GenAI consumption, then extend protections into AI application development and runtime. Prisma Browser, Prisma SASE and Prisma AIRS are presented as the integrated tooling to discover, govern and protect AI usage and models. Palo Alto highlights Unit 42, Huntr and autonomous red teaming as sources of continuous validation.

Prisma SASE: A Blueprint for Modern Branch Security

🔒 Prisma SASE positions Prisma SD‑WAN and Prisma Access as a unified blueprint for securing modern branch offices, embedding zero trust and local enforcement into the branch edge. It emphasizes identity‑aware controls (User‑ID, Device‑ID, App‑ID), automated IoT discovery and on‑box protections like URL filtering and DNS security to reduce appliance sprawl and contain lateral movement. By pairing on‑device enforcement with cloud services and centralized management via Strata Cloud Manager, the solution aims to simplify operations, maintain consistent policies and keep defenses up to date across distributed locations.

Prisma SASE 4.0: AI-Ready Security for Distributed Work

🔒 Prisma SASE 4.0 is positioned as a unified, cloud-delivered security platform engineered for the AI era. It combines AI-powered threat protection, frictionless data security for structured and unstructured content, and unified intelligent operations to automate deployment and troubleshooting. New capabilities include browser-based postload inspection, an Advanced DNS Resolver with Precision AI, SaaS security posture monitoring for AI agents, and Autonomous Digital Experience Management to preserve performance and resilience.

Palo Alto Networks Opens Local Cloud Region in South Africa

🌍 Palo Alto Networks has launched a new cloud location in South Africa to bring its AI-powered security platforms closer to local organizations. The region will host core services including Cortex XSIAM, Prisma SASE, Advanced WildFire, Advanced DNS Security, Strata Cloud Manager and Strata Logging Service. Local hosting is designed to reduce latency, meet data residency and sovereignty requirements, and deliver real-time detection, automated response and centralized logging. The investment aims to support South Africa’s digital transformation while addressing rising ransomware and phishing threats across the region.
