Securing the Future of Japan’s AI Landscape

The shift from static LLMs to autonomous agents has fundamentally changed the global threat surface. Frontier models like Anthropic's Mythos can now autonomously discover hundreds of zero-day vulnerabilities, rapidly shrinking the gap between discovery to exploitation from days to minutes. With the rise of autonomous offensive AI, multi-agent systems like the 'Zealot' proof-of-concept can independently perform reconnaissance, escalate privileges, and exfiltrate cloud data.

Prisma AIRS 3.0 is a comprehensive AI security platform that secures the new AI estate end-to-end: scanning models, agents, and artifacts before deployment, protecting runtime behavior, and enforcing unified control through posture management.To secure this new AI estate against these advanced global threats, Palo Alto Networks is pleased to announce a strategic investment designed to enhance cyber resilience: the establishment of our new local cloud location for Prisma® AIRS™ in Japan. This localized presence simplifies complex operations, enabling local data residency and low-latency processing to accelerate the secure adoption of Generative AI and Agentic Workflows.

Comprehensive Agent Security Platform The new regional expansion in Japan hosting Prisma AIRS provides Japanese organizations with domestic, high-performance access to critical AI security capabilities. As we progressively roll out our full suite of features in the region, Prisma Airs is designed to be a comprehensive AI security platform that secures an organization's entire AI ecosystem including AI applications, models, agents, and datasets, from the development phase all the way through active deployment.  

• AI Model Security:
  Enables the safe adoption of third-party AI models by scanning them for vulnerabilities and secures the AI ecosystem against risks, such as model tampering, malicious scripts and deserialization attacks.
  
• AI Red Teaming:
  Uncovers potential exposure before bad actors do. Performs automated penetration tests using our Red Teaming agent that learns and adapts like a real attacker to stress test AI deployments at machine speed.
  
• AI Runtime Security™:
  Protects LLM-powered AI apps against runtime threats, such as prompt injection, sensitive data leaks, and Indirect Prompt Injection (IDPI) embedded in benign-looking websites.
  
• AI Agent SSPM (SaaS Security Posture Management):
  Secures AI agents against new agentic threats, such as identity impersonation, memory manipulation and tool misuse. This governs autonomous connections and prevents attackers from weaponizing a company's internal AI assistants.
