Palo Alto Networks, a global leader in cybersecurity, has introduced Prisma® AIRS™ 3.0, a major upgrade to its AI security platform designed to protect the entire lifecycle of agentic AI. With this launch, the company enables enterprises to move beyond simply monitoring AI interactions and instead securely manage autonomous AI execution.

As organizations rapidly transition toward AI-powered operations, the rise of agentic AI—systems capable of independent decision-making and execution—has created new and complex security challenges. For instance, enterprises now face risks such as unmanaged Shadow AI, evolving agentic identities, runtime vulnerabilities, and gaps in governance. While many businesses still focus on tracking AI-generated outputs, they often lack visibility into what AI systems actually do. Therefore, Prisma AIRS 3.0 addresses this critical gap by offering full lifecycle security from design to runtime.

Moreover, the platform replaces fragmented, point-based security tools with a unified solution that simplifies AI risk management. By doing so, it allows organizations to future-proof their AI ecosystems as agent adoption continues to grow.

Anand Oswal, Executive Vice President of AI & Network Security at Palo Alto Networks, emphasized the importance of this advancement. He stated, “Agentic AI represents a massive leap forward, moving beyond simple conversation to autonomous action that will redefine productivity. But this shift from ‘AI that talks’ to ‘AI that acts’ introduces new risks – from unmanaged agentic identities to unpredictable runtime behaviors. Prisma AIRS 3.0 provides a comprehensive platform to discover, assess and protect agentic AI, giving our customers the unique ability to confidently, and securely, scale the AI-powered enterprise.”

To deliver comprehensive protection, Prisma AIRS 3.0 introduces several powerful capabilities. First, it enables organizations to discover AI agents across all environments, including cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and local endpoints. This ensures that no hidden or unmanaged AI systems remain undetected.

Next, the platform offers continuous risk assessment. Through Agent Artifact Security, it maps agent architectures and identifies vulnerabilities. Additionally, its AI Red Teaming capabilities simulate real-world, context-aware attacks to uncover weaknesses and recommend appropriate security policies.

Furthermore, Prisma AIRS 3.0 strengthens real-time protection at scale. The AI Agent Gateway acts as a centralized control layer, enforcing runtime security, identity management, governance, and observability. In addition, upcoming enhancements such as Agentic Endpoint Security will provide deeper visibility into AI-driven applications, enabling organizations to deploy tools like coding agents without compromising safety.

Harpreet Sidhu, Global Lead at Accenture Cybersecurity, highlighted the platform’s value in enabling secure AI scaling. He said, “Scaling agentic AI requires clearing critical hurdles around visibility and control. To do this, organizations must know where agents reside, what data they access and how they behave post-deployment. By providing a comprehensive, end-to-end view of the AI lifecycle, Prisma AIRS helps clients mitigate risk. We are excited to collaborate with Palo Alto Networks to help enterprises enforce consistent guardrails allowing them to scale agentic AI securely.”

Ultimately, Prisma AIRS 3.0 represents a significant step forward in securing the future of AI-driven enterprises. By combining visibility, risk assessment, and real-time protection into a single platform, Palo Alto Networks empowers organizations to confidently adopt agentic AI while maintaining strong security and governance.
