Palo Alto Networks
Application
A cloud-delivered service within Prisma SASE that discovers shadow AI usage and applies access controls and data loss prevention to generative AI applications.
Platform
Endpoint detection and response platform marketed as "the foundation of the AI-driven SOC," with an AI agent assistant (Cortex AgentiX) for investigation and response.
An AI-driven security operations platform that unifies SIEM, SOAR and detection-and-response data with automation and AI agents to run a security operations centre.
Palo Alto Networks' proprietary AI system combining machine learning, deep learning and generative AI to automate threat detection, prevention and remediation across its Strata, Prisma Cloud and Cortex security platforms.
An AI security platform that discovers, scans and protects AI models, agents, applications and data against runtime and posture threats.
Runtime gateway component of Prisma AIRS that inspects and governs traffic to and from AI models and agents.
"The first AI-powered, unified solution for network security management and operations," with an AI assistant (Strata Copilot) and purpose-built AI agents for policy optimization, threat detection and remediation.
Writer
Application
Universal context layer that grounds AI agents in a company's Agent Memory (captured decisions and preferences) and Company Standards (brand, tone, compliance), listed in WRITER's own top-level product navigation alongside Models, AI Studio, WRITER Agent and WRITER for Slack.
Reusable, repeatable workflows in WRITER, so a piece of work done once can be run the same way again.
Platform
WRITER's retrieval layer. A specialised LLM reads a customer's own documents, spreadsheets, slides and PDFs and builds a graph of the semantic relationships between them rather than storing vector embeddings, so retrieval can follow multi-hop connections, break a broad question into sub-questions and return specific source citations before WRITER's Palmyra models generate the answer.
No counterpart
Writer sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Palo Alto Networks yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
An agent that plans and carries out multi-step work across a customer's own data and tools, under enterprise governance controls.
Agent platform
WRITER's build surface: business teams assemble agents on an interoperable platform while technology teams keep visibility and governance over what ships.
