Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud have announced they are expanding their partnership to help companies build and use artificial intelligence (AI) more safely. The collaboration combines Google Cloud’s leading AI and infrastructure capabilities with Prisma® AIRS™, Palo Alto Networks comprehensive AI security platform, to secure the next generation of digital business.
The strategic partnership between Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud is more than another hyperscaler–security vendor announcement. It reflects a structural shift in how enterprises are expected to secure cloud-native and AI-driven environments at scale. At a time when organisations are simultaneously modernising infrastructure and embedding generative AI into core business processes, the agreement addresses a growing reality: security can no longer be layered on after transformation—it must be engineered into it.
The partnership brings together Google Cloud’s strong AI tools and computer systems with Prisma® AIRS™, the security platform from Palo Alto Networks.
Simon Green, President, APAC & Japan, at Palo Alto Networks, said, “For our customers across the Asia Pacific and Japan region, the ability to scale agentic AI safely is the new competitive benchmark. This expanded partnership with Google Cloud provides the trusted foundation organizations need to innovate at speed. By integrating Prisma AIRS natively with Google Cloud’s infrastructure, we are enabling businesses to build and deploy autonomous AI applications with comprehensive protection for their data and intellectual property. Together, we are ensuring that advanced security is a built-in feature of the cloud journey, allowing enterprises to harness the full potential of AI with total confidence.”
Matt Renner, President and Chief Revenue Officer, Google Cloud, said, “Enterprises are increasingly turning to Google Cloud and Palo Alto Networks to secure their applications and data — together and in a seamless way. This latest expansion of our partnership will ensure that our joint customers have access to the right solutions to secure their most critical AI infrastructure and develop new AI agents with security built in from the start.”
