Palo Alto Autonomous AI Workforce for Cloud Security | JKTech
Cortex Cloud™ 2.0
As AI accelerates a projected 4.6x surge in cloud investment by 2030, siloed security strategies are exposing organizations to unresolved risks lasting up to 120 days. To address this growing challenge, Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW) has introduced Cortex Cloud™ 2.0 — a unified platform that integrates industry-leading CDR and CNAPP capabilities. The new release features autonomous AI agents, an enhanced Cloud Command Center, and a performance-optimized CDR agent, designed to deliver proactive, unified, and intelligent cloud security at scale.

Organizations are still grappling with fragmented cloud posture and CDR tools, leading to critical security gaps and operational complexity. Cortex Cloud 2.0 marks a significant leap forward from the launched just eight months ago — now the leading CNAPP for unified operations from code to cloud SOC. With this update, enterprises can advance their cloud security transformation through enhanced automation, greater efficiency, and stronger protection.
Cortex Cloud 2.0 Features
- Automate Security with Autonomous AI Agents
- The new Cortex® AgentiX™ streamlines workflows by using AI agents trained an over 1.2 billion real-world responses to autonomously investigate and resolve complex security issues within minutes —reducing risk and freeing teams for higher-value work. Enterprise-grade guardrails ensure every automated action aligns with organizational policies.
- Gain Unified Visibility Across the Cloud
- The enhanced Command Center delivers real-time, actionable insights into assets, risks, and active threats across multicloud environments, helping team's environments, helping teams prioritize the most critical remediation efforts though an intuitive, unified view.
- Protect Workloads Efficiently
- The new performance-optimized mode of Cortex Cloud’s CDR agents enables one-click, real-time protection with up to 50% lower resource comsumption, allowing organizations to deploy strong defenses without compromising performance.
- Shift Left to Prevent Risks Early
- The Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) module empowers developers to detect and fix vulnerabilities up to 10x faster than in production. Now with an integrated Command Center, it offers DevSecOps teams a single source of truth to secure the entire software supply chain before deployment.
Cortex Cloud is now available to customers worldwide, with all existing users set to receive automatic upgrades to version 2.0 in the first half of 2026.
