Insights
The launch of Cortex Cloud marks a pivotal strategic move that significantly strengthens Palo Alto Networks' competitive moat in the cloud security market. This consolidation of Prisma Cloud and Cortex CDR addresses two critical market dynamics: the increasing complexity of cloud security and the growing demand for unified, AI-driven security solutions.
The strategic decision to include CNAPP capabilities at no additional cost for Runtime Security customers is particularly noteworthy. This bundling strategy serves multiple purposes: it accelerates adoption, increases customer lock-in, and creates a compelling competitive advantage against point-solution providers. The move effectively raises barriers to entry for competitors while potentially accelerating revenue growth through broader platform adoption.
The integration partnerships with industry giants like IBM, Deloitte, and Orange Cyberdefense significantly enhance the go-to-market strategy. These partnerships provide immediate enterprise-level credibility and vast distribution channels, potentially accelerating market penetration and revenue growth. The timing is particularly strategic, given the reported 66% increase in cloud-targeted threats and the growing adoption of AI technologies that require enhanced security measures.
The platform's AI-powered capabilities and automated remediation features address the critical industry challenge of security team efficiency and skill gaps. By unifying data analysis and automating workflows, Cortex Cloud positions PANW to capture a larger share of enterprise security budgets while reducing customer total cost of ownership - a compelling value proposition in the current market environment focused on operational efficiency.
- The next version of Prisma Cloud adds AI-powered prioritization, automated remediation, and a new simplified, powerful user experience.
- Prisma Cloud is merged with Cortex CDR to form Cortex Cloud, stopping attacks in real-time.
- Cortex Cloud is also available on Cortex XSIAM, making it the preferred SOC platform for enterprise and cloud.
Unit 42® reports reveal that
Lee Klarich, chief product officer of Palo Alto Networks
"As more critical business applications move to the cloud, cloud security must expand to include industry-leading runtime protection. And to make it as easy as possible for our customers to adopt end-to-end cloud security, we're including CNAPP at no additional cost for every Cortex Cloud Runtime Security customer. With Cortex Cloud, we are delivering the next generation of cloud security — enabling organizations to swiftly prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to evolving threats across their entire enterprise."
Cortex Cloud delivers on Palo Alto Networks platformization strategy by rearchitecting its cloud security solution on the AI-driven Cortex SecOps platform to deliver a powerful unified user experience with persona-driven dashboards and workflows. Cortex Cloud helps customers achieve superior protection at a significantly lower total cost of ownership and provides additional value and new features including:
- Application security: Build secure apps and prevent issues in development before they become production issues that attackers can target. Cortex Cloud identifies and prioritizes issues across the entire development pipeline with end-to-end context across code, runtime, cloud and newly introduced third-party scanners.
- Cloud posture: Improve multi-cloud risk management with new AI-powered prioritization, guided fixes to resolve multiple risks with a single action, and automated remediation. Additionally, Cortex Cloud delivers a single user experience with tight integration across all of Prisma Cloud's cloud posture capabilities.
- Cloud runtime: Stop attacks in real time. Cortex Cloud natively integrates the unified Cortex XDR agent, enriched with additional cloud data sources, to prevent threats with advanced analytics - as proven by industry-leading results in the most recent MITRE ATT&CK testing. Our new Cloud Runtime Security offering includes the world's leading CNAPP capabilities at no additional cost, maximizing adoption of end-to-end cloud security on a single platform.
- SOC: The preferred SOC platform for enterprise and cloud, expanding beyond what any SIEM can deliver. Cortex Cloud natively integrates cloud data, context and workflows within Cortex XSIAM to significantly reduce the mean time to respond (MTTR) to modern threats with a single, unified SecOps solution.
Melinda Marks, practice director, cybersecurity, Enterprise Strategy Group
"Security teams need to mitigate risk to reduce the chance of cybersecurity incidents, and if and when an incident occurs, they need to respond as quickly as possible. Our research shows that security teams struggle with remediation efficiency because application security, cloud security, and security operations tools and processes have been historically siloed. With the introduction of Cortex Cloud, Palo Alto Networks delivers a unified code-to-cloud-to-SOC platform giving security teams the context to prioritize and drive remediation actions with the highest impact on reducing risk, while speeding up detection and response for security operations."
Customer Delivery
Existing Prisma Cloud customers will experience a seamless upgrade to Cortex Cloud, and will now experience the power of streamlined, real-time cloud security. Existing Cortex XSIAM customers who add Cortex Cloud gain the ability to seamlessly adopt CNAPP capabilities that are native-by-design on the world's most complete AI-powered, enterprise-to-cloud SecOps platform. Cortex Cloud will be available to customers later in Q3 FY25.
