Cortex Cloud
The Autonomous AI Workforce for Cloud Security

Overview:

Complete Protection From Zero-Day Threats

Prevent threats from compromising your cloud environment with containment actions that stop malicious processes, workload attacks, web-based exploits, and API abuse. Cortex® Cloud Runtime Security extends industry-best cloud runtime protection with enterprise-wide visibility and response in a single source of truth for full context and workflow sharing across cloud security and the SOC. Transform how you protect your cloud ecosystem and ensure business continuity in an increasingly dynamic threat landscape.

Complex, Rapidly Changing Threats Stretch Cloud Security Teams

Cloud security now spans infrastructure, identities, custom and open-source code, and vast amounts of cloud-generated data. The rapid adoption of AI-driven services has further expanded the attack surface, while decentralized access to cloud resources enables developers to deploy at unprecedented speed—often bypassing traditional security controls. These shifts fuel innovation but create security gaps that attackers exploit.

Deliver a Near-Native User Experience With No Friction

Deliver a near-native user experience when using Palo Alto Networks’ RBI. Websites and applications are rendered with no compromise in quality and perform as if the user was browsing natively. You can use the browser and device of your choice with zero onboarding or training needed because the RBI is browser and platform agnostic.

With over 750 million cloud-native applications supported by 38 million developers, attacks on cloud environments have surged, increasing by 66% in the past year.1 Security exposures in the cloud now account for 80% of all risks,2 and nearly half of them shift monthly,3 making defense a moving target.

As attacks grow more frequent and architectures, more dynamic, security teams need a centralized solution to protect, detect, and respond to threats in real time, with unmatched visibility and protection.

Cortex Cloud Runtime Security

Stop cloud attacks in real time, before they escalate into breaches, with industry-leading runtime protection that includes

Protect cloud environments at scale with both predictive and threat-driven active security. Cortex Cloud leverages advanced machine learning models to detect and block attacks on running workloads, minimizing risk without disrupting performance.

Secure virtual machines across public and private cloud environments with real-time threat prevention, automated policy enforcement, and deep visibility into workload activity. Cortex Cloud protects VMs against malware, unauthorized access, and advanced exploitation techniques.
