Palo Alto Networks Acquires AI Agent Platform Console
Palo Alto Networks has acquired Console, an AI-powered platform designed to automate security workflows and incident response through natural language commands. This acquisition will enhance Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex platform, allowing security teams to streamline operations and respond to alerts more efficiently.
Palo Alto Networks has announced the acquisition of Console, an AI-native platform focused on automating operational tasks and security workflows using natural language. Console’s core functionality allows users to describe a desired outcome in plain language, and then AI agents will handle the complex analysis and actions required to achieve that outcome. This represents a significant step towards more intuitive and automated security operations for Palo Alto Networks customers.
Console’s technology is intended to significantly reduce the burden on security teams by automating tasks such as investigating alerts, resolving issues, and responding to requests at a much faster pace than traditional methods. By integrating Console into its Cortex platform, Palo Alto Networks aims to provide a more streamlined and intelligent security experience.
Financial details of the acquisition were not publicly disclosed. The announcement coincided with Palo Alto Networks’ fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 financial results, which showed a substantial increase in revenue and remaining performance obligations.
