Build cyber resiliency into every part of your organization
A unified AI-driven security partnership
As organizations accelerate their use of AI and digital technologies, they are encountering rising cybersecurity complexity driven by disconnected tools, siloed teams, and an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. Companies now manage an average of 83 security tools from 29 vendors, resulting in fragmented visibility, slower response times, and higher risk. For a USD 20B enterprise, this complexity can translate into more than USD 1B in lost revenue due to breaches, failed transformations, and reputational damage. Forward-looking leaders are responding by reframing cybersecurity as a strategic growth enabler rather than a cost center, with 66% of executives viewing it as a driver of revenue and innovation.
This shift is fueling a move toward unified, AI-powered security platforms that replace tool sprawl, strengthen resilience, and accelerate business outcomes. By greatly increasing detection and response speed while improving operational and financial efficiency, these platforms enable faster innovation and deeper trust with customers and regulators. To help clients lead this transformation, IBM and Palo Alto Networks have formed a strategic partnership that brings together IBM’s industry expertise, global capabilities, and integrated practices with Palo Alto Networks’ market-leading platforms and AI technologies. Together, they provide a unified approach that simplifies security environments, embeds resilience across operations, and unlocks new value from digital transformation.
Address the complexity of the security tools landscape with a unified, AI-powered platform that scales security coverage and strengthens the security posture. Co-create strategies that streamline security environments, reduce the number of tools, and improve operational efficiency, while aligning with business goals.
Modernize Security Operations Centers (SOCs) by shifting from reactive, manual processes to proactive, intelligent, and automated security postures. Leverage AI-driven automation to streamline threat detection, reduce alert fatigue, and accelerate incident response to improve SOC performance and reduce operational costs.
Robust governance frameworks and security tools assess the security posture of AI services, control user access and protect against threats. Build secure AI capabilities, including AI agents with AI model scanning and AI model red-teaming. Minimize risks associated with shadow AI and compliance violations.
Secure cloud environments from ‘Code to Cloud to SOC’. Identity and prevent vulnerabilities in application code before deployment. Gain visibility of the cloud security posture and automate remediation. Achieve faster cloud adoption and maximum cloud ROI with industry-leading cloud security solutions.
Achieve flexible, secure remote access for hybrid workforces. Scalable solutions across users, devices and networks, enabling secure connectivity and improving user experience. This unified approach with zero trust will boost workforce retention and productivity across dynamic and hybrid workplace scenarios.
Modernize privileged access management by updating processes, automation and zero-trust controls to meet current and future challenges. Closing the Identity Security gap requires more than just cutting-edge technology -it demands a trusted partner with deep expertise and proven capabilities.
