Multicloud, AI and Critical Infrastructure Security | InterSECt 2026

Explore new Palo Alto Networks security innovations for multicloud environments, AI workloads, browsers, data centers and critical infrastructure. This InterSECt 2026 session shows how organizations can identify security gaps, deploy protection more flexibly and extend consistent network security across cloud, endpoint and operational technology environments. In this video, learn how Palo Alto Networks helps organizations: • Assess cloud network and AI security risks with CLARA • Discover workloads, missing controls, weak policies and security gaps across multiple clouds • Benchmark existing security controls against real-world threats • Allocate software firewall and AI security capabilities through Firewall Flex • Secure AI agents, models and applications with Prisma AIRS • Extend NGFW policies and Layer 7 protection to Prisma Browser • Protect AI-era data centers with fifth-generation PA-Series hardware firewalls • Support high-throughput inspection of encrypted and post-quantum traffic • Secure OT networks with ruggedized PA-50R Series firewalls • Apply Frontier Virtual Patching and OT microsegmentation to critical infrastructure • Protect industrial environments, remote sites and connected assets Together, CLARA, Firewall Flex, Prisma AIRS, Prisma Browser and the Palo Alto Networks hardware and software firewall portfolio provide a unified approach to securing AI workloads, multicloud infrastructure, enterprise users and operational technology.
