Palo Alto Networks introduces AI Access Security to enable organizations to safely adopt GenAI applications usage across their organization by mitigating the risks posed by data leakage in prompts and malicious content in responses. AI Access Security offers an extensive dictionary of GenAI applications to help identify GenAI apps alongside contextual, fine-grained access control policy rules to prevent exfiltration of sensitive data. AI Access Security provides detailed monitoring capabilities allowing you to filter for specific GenAI apps, users, GenAI use cases allowing you to write targeted web access policy rules control what type of data is or isn't followed for specific GenAI applications used by your organization.
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) applications are AI applications capable of generating text, images, videos, and other forms of data in response to user prompts and continuously learn based on user data inputs. Their usage is proliferating at an astonishing rate and offer limitless opportunities for businesses.

  • Comprehensive Visualization and ReportingAI Access Security administration is managed entirely on Strata Cloud Manager for a single pane of glass management experience across your security enforcement channels. AI Access Security includes a detailed dashboard with trends allowing you to filter and explore usage based on users, data transfers, GenAI apps, and use cases across all channels. You can also generate executive summary reports to summarize GenAI app usage, policy violation metrics, and other important data security metrics.
  • Data ProtectionEnterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP), Palo Alto Networks' cloud-based data loss prevention service that uses AI and supervised machine learning algorithms, is the detection engine that fuels AI Access Security's ability to block exfiltration of sensitive data for file and nonfile based uploads and text prompts.
