Palo Alto Networks migrates largely to Google Cloud and signs landmark deal

"Critical workloads from the security company are migrating to Google's cloud service, and customers will have access to broad protection for their AI deployments. The combination should provide end-to-end security, "from code to cloud" as Palo Alto Networks describes it. Customers can protect their AI workloads and data on Google Cloud with both Prisma AIRS and built-in security options from the hyperscalers."

"As you would expect from a comprehensive offering, the security tooling addresses all layers of the stack, all of which require defense. AI Posture Management provides visibility, while AI Runtime Security offers real-time protection against threats such as prompt injection and data leaks. AI Agent Security monitors autonomous systems, AI Red Teaming proactively tests for weaknesses, and AI Model Security scans for vulnerabilities in models."

"However, the collaboration goes beyond software. Palo Alto Network's VM-Series firewalls will be more deeply integrated with Google Cloud. This will enable customers to maintain their security policies and migrate to Google Cloud more quickly. The firewalls offer deep packet inspection and threat prevention in cloud environments. Both parties are also strengthening their collaboration in the area of SASE. Prisma SASE, Palo Alto's cloud platform for secure access and networking, runs on Google's infrastructure."

Palo Alto Networks is migrating critical workloads to Google Cloud while integrating security offerings to protect AI deployments across services like Vertex AI and Agent Engine. Customers can use Prisma AIRS alongside hyperscalers' built-in security and secure development tools such as the Agent Development Kit. The security stack covers AI Posture Management, AI Runtime Security, AI Agent Security, AI Red Teaming, and AI Model Security to provide visibility, runtime protection, agent monitoring, proactive testing, and model vulnerability scanning. VM-Series firewalls will integrate deeply with Google Cloud, enabling policy continuity, faster migration, deep packet inspection, and threat prevention. Prisma SASE will run on Google infrastructure and Google Cloud Interconnect preserves consistent WAN-to-cloud security policies.
