Palo Alto Networks Cortex Agentic Endpoint Security (AES) is an AI-native endpoint security platform designed to protect enterprise devices from risks associated with autonomous AI agents and modern software applications. The platform continuously discovers AI agents, local models, browser extensions, IDE plugins, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and other software components operating on endpoints. Its context-aware risk analysis evaluates software dependencies, permissions, behaviors, and potential security exposures to help organizations prioritize threats. Cortex AES provides automated governance policies and security guardrails that control agent interactions and restrict potentially unsafe software. Its real-time prevention capabilities block malicious agent actions, prompt injection attacks, unauthorized data access, and risky software execution before they cause damage.
