Understand AI security before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is it?
Palo Alto's platform for securing the AI you build — protecting AI models, apps and agents against prompt injection, data leakage, model attacks and agent hijacking, across the AI lifecycle.
Unsecured AI vs AI secured by AIRS — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Unsecured AI (new surface, exposed) | Prisma AIRS (AI secured) |
|---|---|---|
| AI attack surface | Unprotected | Secured by AIRS |
| Prompt injection | Undefended | Blocked at runtime |
| Data leakage via AI | Uncontrolled | Prevented |
| AI agents | Hijackable | Secured |
| Shadow AI | Invisible | Discovered |
| Model attacks | Unaddressed | Defended |
| Approach | Point tools / none | Full lifecycle platform |
| Traditional security | Not built for AI | Purpose-built for AI |
A leading platform in the fast-emerging AI-security category — startups and cloud guardrails also compete.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
Discover
Discovers the AI in use across the enterprise — including shadow AI you didn't know about.
Assess
Scans AI models and applications for risks and vulnerabilities — before and during deployment.
Runtime Protection
Protects AI apps and agents at runtime — against prompt injection, leakage and manipulation.
Agent Security
Secures autonomous AI agents — preventing hijacking and harmful actions.
Data Protection
Prevents sensitive-data leakage through AI apps — a top GenAI risk.
Cloud, endpoint and network telemetry sharing a single fabric — threats connected once, not hunted from console to console.
Twelve capabilities. Discover, assess, protect.
Prisma AIRS discovers the AI in use, assesses models and apps for risk, and protects AI apps and agents at runtime — the new attack surface, defended.
AI Discovery
Find the AI in use — including shadow AI across the enterprise.
Model Scanning
Scan AI models for risks and vulnerabilities before deployment.
AI App Assessment
Assess AI applications for security risks — the new app class.
Prompt-Injection Defence
Stop prompt injection and jailbreaks — the core LLM attack.
Data-Leak Prevention
Prevent sensitive-data leakage through AI apps — a top GenAI risk.
Agent Security
Secure autonomous agents — prevent hijacking and harmful actions.
Model-Attack Defence
Defend against model attacks and data poisoning.
Runtime Protection
Protect AI apps and agents live, in production.
Malicious-Response Control
Block harmful or manipulated AI responses.
AI Security Posture
Understand and improve your AI security posture.
Full AI Lifecycle
Discover, assess and protect — across the AI lifecycle.

Here’s what genuinely sets Palo Alto Prisma AIRS apart from the alternatives.
AI is a new, largely-unprotected attack surface
Enterprises building GenAI apps, copilots and agents are creating a new attack surface traditional security wasn’t built for: prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, poisoned training data, hijacked agents. Prisma AIRS exists because this AI surface is real, growing fast and mostly undefended.
Prompt injection and data leakage — the real GenAI risks
The headline AI risks are concrete: prompt injection that manipulates an LLM into ignoring its instructions, jailbreaks that bypass safety controls, and sensitive-data leakage. Prisma AIRS defends against them at runtime, so your GenAI apps can’t be trivially manipulated or made to leak data.
Securing autonomous agents — the next frontier
As AI moves from chatbots to autonomous agents that access systems and execute tasks, a hijacked agent can do the wrong thing, not just say it. Prisma AIRS secures agents against hijacking and harmful actions — ahead of a risk most organisations haven’t addressed.
You can't secure the AI you don't know about
You can’t protect what you can’t see, and shadow AI — apps, models and services adopted without security’s knowledge — is rampant. Prisma AIRS discovers the AI in use across the enterprise, giving you an inventory to secure; most organisations deploy AI faster than they track it.
The whole AI lifecycle — discover, assess, protect
Prisma AIRS covers the AI security lifecycle: discover the AI, assess and scan models and apps before and during deployment, and protect them at runtime. It’s a platform for securing AI end to end, not a point tool for one risk.
The honest positioning
Prisma AIRS is a leading platform in the fast-emerging, quickly evolving AI-security category, best when you’re deploying AI apps and agents. Its edge is the Palo Alto platform, Precision AI backing and breadth, as startups and other vendors enter. TechBag scopes your AI attack surface and models it, in INR/GST.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“Prisma AIRS secures the AI we’re building, defending against prompt injection, data leakage and model attacks.”
“Prompt-injection and jailbreak defence means our GenAI apps can’t be easily manipulated or made to leak data.”
“A hijacked agent doesn’t just say the wrong thing, it does it. Prisma AIRS was built ahead of that risk.”
“Discovery found shadow AI we had no idea about — you can't secure what you can't see. The essential first step most orgs haven't taken.”
“It covers the whole lifecycle — discover, assess, protect — not a point tool for one AI risk. A platform for securing AI end-to-end.”
“The category is new and startups are entering. Platform fit and Precision AI backing made AIRS our choice.”
“TechBag scoped our AI attack surface and where AIRS mattered most, for the AI we’re rushing to deploy.”
“Sensitive-data-leak prevention through our AI apps — a top GenAI risk, addressed. Our confidential data stays put even as we adopt AI everywhere.”
Where everyone sits — the grids
Analyst firms bury this view behind paywalls, and review-site grids score satisfaction, not fit for your estate. So here’s TechBag’s synthesis of the AI security market — tap any vendor to see why it sits where it does.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | Full AI-security platform | Point AI-security tools | Provider guardrails | Not built for AI | None |
| Runtime protection | Prompt injection, leakage, agents | Varies | Basic | None | None |
| Agent security | Yes | Emerging | Limited | None | None |
| Discovery + lifecycle | Discover/assess/protect | Partial | None | None | None |
| Best fit | Enterprises deploying AI (apps/agents) needing to secure it | Specific AI-risk needs | Basic guardrails | Nobody serious about AI | Nobody deploying AI |

Choose Palo Alto Prisma AIRS if…
- ✓You're deploying AI (apps, agents) and need to secure it
- ✓Prompt injection, data leakage and agent hijacking worry you
- ✓You need to discover shadow AI you can't currently see
- ✓You want a full-lifecycle AI-security platform on Palo Alto
Choose AI-security startups if…
- ✓You have a specific AI-risk need a point tool addresses
Choose cloud-native guardrails if…
- ✓Basic provider-level AI controls suffice for now
Choose traditional security if…

No AI security if…
- ✓Never if you deploy AI — unsecured AI is a fast-growing risk
What does unsecured AI cost you?
Drag the sliders (count AI apps/agents deployed; IT-hour cost as loaded rate). Estimates assume ~10 hours per AI app per year of exposure from an unprotected AI attack surface, with ~65% removed by AI discovery, assessment and runtime protection — the avoided AI-breach and data-leak value is the larger unpriced win. Illustrative.
Loaded cost = salary + overheads per productive hour. Illustrative only — your TechBag quote models your actual environment and modules.
