Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud expanded their partnership to enable secure development and deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions and to provide a foundation for organizations to use AI.
Palo Alto Networks' State of Cloud Report, released in December 2025, found customers increased use of cloud infrastructure for new AI applications and that 99% of respondents experienced at least one attack on their AI infrastructure in the prior year. The companies described plans to address those findings through an enhanced go-to-market strategy and by incorporating security across multicloud infrastructure, application development stages and endpoints.
The announcement named Prisma AIRS to protect AI workloads and data on Google Cloud, including Vertex AI, and to secure developer tools. It also cited VM-Series virtual firewalls with Deep Packet Inspection and Threat Prevention and referenced Prisma Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Prisma Access running on Google's network with Google Cloud Interconnect, and it described a multibillion-dollar agreement to migrate workloads and to use Vertex AI and Gemini LLMs for copilots.
“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.” Matt Renner, President and Chief Revenue Officer, Google Cloud, said.
The announcement said the expanded partnership planned to deliver end-to-end AI security from code to cloud, integrate AI-driven software firewall and SASE capabilities with Google Cloud services, and provide a simplified, unified security experience across multicloud environments.
