Description

Palo Alto Networks Cortex Agentic Endpoint Security (AES) is an endpoint protection and AI security governance platform designed to secure autonomous agents, developer tools, and software components across enterprise devices. The software provides continuous discovery of AI applications, local language models, MCP servers, browser extensions, IDE plugins, and open-source packages that may introduce security risks. Its AI-native visibility capabilities help security teams identify unauthorized software and previously unmanaged AI tools operating within their environments. Context-aware risk analysis evaluates application behavior, permissions, software supply chain relationships, and access to sensitive resources. The platform maintains an AI Context Graph that connects discovered assets with relevant security information to support risk assessment and investigation. Governance tools allow administrators to establish security policies, restrict unsafe interactions, and remove insecure packages or extensions. Runtime protection monitors autonomous agent activity and blocks prohibited actions, malicious downloads, prompt injection attempts, and potential data exfiltration. Cortex AES integrates with Cortex XDR and Prisma AIRS to combine endpoint monitoring with AI application security and threat prevention capabilities. Organizations can deploy the solution as a standalone security product or alongside existing endpoint security infrastructure, with optional managed protection and investigation services from Palo Alto Networks Unit 42.

Description

Formal serves as a reverse proxy that is aware of protocols, enhancing security measures for databases, APIs, infrastructure, and AI tools by implementing least privilege principles at the wire-protocol layer. This tool is deployed as a singular stateless binary within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) using platforms like Terraform, Kubernetes, or Docker, effectively positioning itself between users and resources without necessitating alterations to applications, SDKs, or agents. Formal supports the analysis of over 15 distinct protocols, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Snowflake, SSH, Kubernetes, HTTP, MCP, S3, Redis, RDP, BigQuery, ClickHouse, and DynamoDB, which empowers it to make decisions based on specific queries rather than relying solely on broad network filtering. Furthermore, its policies can oversee user authentication and authorization, mask or filter data fields, modify requests, prohibit certain actions, mandate multi-factor authentication, isolate sessions, revoke access, or enable impersonation throughout the stages of session, request, and response. Additionally, teams have the capability to protect AI agents and MCP servers by eliminating personally identifiable information before it is processed by a model, preventing unauthorized calls to tools, and meticulously auditing each action taken. This comprehensive approach not only enhances security but also ensures compliance with data protection regulations.
