Palo Alto Networks launched Cortex AgentiX, AI-powered agents for automated cloud cybersecurity. Designed to enhance threat intelligence and breach response across vendor platforms, AgentiX addresses the growing demand for autonomous security solutions. CEO Nikesh Arora emphasizes a human-in-the-loop approach, reflecting AI’s current limitations. The launch follows news of cybersecurity vulnerabilities at other companies and Palo Alto’s acquisition of CyberArk, signaling a focus on AI-driven and integrated security. Analysts see this as part of a broader industry trend towards AI/ML for threat detection and response.
