Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud expanded their strategic alliance to provide a secure, trusted foundation for organizations to develop, deploy, and operationalize Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies with confidence.

As enterprises accelerated adoption of agentic AI and cloud computing solutions, the companies framed the expansion to address operational security needs. Palo Alto Networks' December 2025 State of Cloud Report indicated widespread expansion of cloud infrastructure for AI applications and a 99% incidence rate of AI infrastructure attacks among respondents within the last year. The enhanced agreement focused on a go-to-market strategy and on embedding security across hybrid multi-cloud environments, development lifecycles, and endpoints.

The partnership integrated Google Cloud’s advanced AI and infrastructure capabilities with Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma AIRS, described in the release as an AI security platform intended to secure next-generation digital operations. The release listed capabilities such as AI Posture Management, AI Runtime Security, AI Agent Security for autonomous systems, AI Red Teaming, and AI Model Security. It described VM-Series firewalls as designed to secure cloud and virtualized environments via Deep Packet Inspection and Threat Prevention.

Deliverables included end-to-end AI security to protect live AI workloads and data on Google Cloud, including Vertex AI and Agent Engine, and to secure developer tools such as the Agent Development Kit with Prisma AIRS. The release said the collaboration built on more than 75 joint integrations and $2 billion in sales through the Google Cloud Marketplace and that Palo Alto Networks was migrating internal workloads to Google Cloud under a multibillion-dollar agreement.

“The critical question for modern governance boards is how to leverage AI without introducing undue risk. This partnership provides the definitive answer. We are eliminating the operational friction between security and development, delivering a unified platform where cutting-edge security is an inherent component of innovation. By embedding our AI-powered security deeply into the Google Cloud infrastructure, we are transforming the platform into a proactive defense system.” said BJ Jenkins, President, Palo Alto Networks.

“Enterprises increasingly rely on the combined capabilities of Google Cloud and Palo Alto Networks for seamless application and data security. This partnership expansion guarantees our joint clientele access to the necessary solutions for securing their most critical AI infrastructure and developing secure-by-design AI agents from inception.” said Matt Renner, President and Chief Revenue Officer, Google Cloud. Palo Alto Networks said VM-Series and Prisma Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) would feature deeper integrations with Google Cloud and Google Cloud Interconnect.
