  • Lateral movement through private cellular networks in OT was long considered a theoretical risk. Not anymore. A recent breach of an energy facility exposed a critical blind spot: device-to-device traffic inside a private APN often bypasses standard enterprise security controls entirely. Read our analysis of the incident to see what it reveals about the cellular OT edge, and why Zero Trust must extend directly into the cellular network itself. https://bit.ly/4yfqVM3

  • What happens when an AI coding agent has access to production without the right controls in place? As agents gain the ability to act autonomously across critical systems, organizations need controls that extend beyond visibility. Govern what agents can access and do, and block risky actions in real time, all without slowing developers down. See how to secure AI coding. https://bit.ly/4hrrQSu

  • What happens in the 55 days before a patch gets deployed? Vulnerabilities can be exploited within 24 hours of disclosure, while organizations take an average of 55 days to deploy a traditional patch. At InterSECt 2026, Will Townsend and Anand Oswal discussed how Frontier Virtual Patching, introduced with PAN-OS 12.2 Ceres, is designed to close that window, automatically delivering protections against emerging vulnerabilities without waiting for disclosure or traditional patching cycles. See how we’re rethinking threat prevention for the frontier AI era at InterSECt 2026 on-demand. https://bit.ly/4y6w49T

  • Palo Alto Networks is joining the S&P 100 🎉 This milestone reflects the trust organizations around the world place in us and our responsibility to keep pushing cybersecurity forward as AI transforms how we work. We’re building for what’s next, helping organizations harness AI securely and stay ahead of threats moving at unprecedented speed and scale. See how we’re leading cybersecurity into the AI era. https://bit.ly/3V4rhqo

  • Every dollar and minute saved in cybersecurity is an investment back into patient care 🏥 To support over 1.6M patients annually and empower clinicians with modern AI, Ochsner Health unified its cybersecurity strategy across hundreds of hospitals and clinics. By replacing fragmented tools with a platform approach, they boosted SOC efficiency and strengthened care continuity. The operational results: 🎯 15-minute MTTR for security cases (down from hours) 🛡️ 75% of cases handled via automation 💰 $10.7M in projected benefits over four years See how Palo Alto Networks platform approach protects clinical operations. https://bit.ly/4xFd68A

  • 🚨 Cybersecurity has reached a tipping point. Armed with AI tools, threat actors are weaponizing vulnerabilities in minutes, compressing attack timelines by 97%. Human-speed defense can no longer keep up. That’s why we’re introducing Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Continuous Frontier AI Defense. By combining leading frontier AI models, elite cyber experts, and Unit 42 threat intelligence, the service continuously discovers, validates, and remediates exposures across your estate before attackers exploit them. Giving the advantage back to defenders. https://bit.ly/3V9r3hB

  • You wouldn’t give your kid full access to your streaming account, so why do it at work? 🔐 Overly broad permissions create chaos. Today, adversaries don’t break in; they simply log in using uncontrolled privileges. Idira by Palo Alto Networks secures every human, machine, and agentic identity with dynamic, zero standing privilege controls, stopping hidden risks at machine speed. It’s time to control the chaos. https://bit.ly/4h5DovP

  • What started as a university QA internship became a career built on curiosity, continuous learning and a passion for cybersecurity. Today, Milen is a Principal Software Automation/Test Engineer at Palo Alto Networks, helping drive quality initiatives, automation, and engineering standards across teams. Along the way, he’s grown from running basic tests to helping shape how quality is built into the development process. As AI continues to reshape cybersecurity, Milen shares what he’s learned, the role his colleagues have played in his growth and his advice for those looking to build a career in the industry.

  • What looked like an isolated infection was anything but... Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers followed the trail of seemingly low-priority infections and uncovered a much larger cybercrime operation hiding in plain sight. The campaign used YouTube channels and manipulated search results to lure people into downloading malware, ultimately reaching corporate endpoints, critical infrastructure and government entities. See how Unit 42 uncovered the operation, and what defenders can learn from it. https://bit.ly/46t4UNM

  • AI has left the sandbox, and static guardrails are failing. When autonomous agents, AI code, and enterprise apps enter live workflows, static safety filters fall apart. Organizations shouldn't have to choose between AI velocity and reputational risk. Palo Alto Networks is recognized as a Market Shaper in the September 2026 Gartner® Emerging Market Quadrant for AI Application Security - Established Vendors. Get systemic control that maps agent identities, validates multi-turn attacks, and stops runtime threats at machine speed. Read the Gartner® report to learn how to secure your AI ecosystem without slowing innovation. https://bit.ly/4hAujLy
