Palo Alto Networks (PANW) Previews Application Security Module for Cortex Cloud

Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW) is one of the AI Stocks Gaining Attention on Wall Street. On August 5, the company announced the launch of Cortex Cloud Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), a prevention-first application security module intended to block security issues before applications reach production environments.

The security module will allow security leaders and developers to fix security risks before cloud and AI applications have been deployed. This will be 10 times faster, more efficient, and also cost effective.

Moreover, Cortex Cloud ASPM includes an open AppSec partner ecosystem which will allow organizations to integrate data from their preferred third-party code scanners into a centralized platform for extensive visibility. The system will help identify security risks during the development phase rather than after.

The security module will integrate with Palo Alto’s existing Cortex Cloud platform, which combines cloud native application protection platform capabilities with cloud detection and response capabilities for real-time cloud security.

“As AI-generated code compresses application development from months to hours, security must evolve to protect the speed of innovation. Equipped with an industry-leading CNAPP, best-in-class CDR and now prevention-first ASPM, Cortex Cloud delivers the most comprehensive approach to cloud security and automatically stops risks before they reach production with end-to-end visibility across the entire application lifecycle.” -Sarit Tager, VP of Product Management, Palo Alto Networks
