ANALYST REPORT

Palo Alto Networks Recognized as a Market Shaper

September 2026 Gartner® Emerging Market Quadrant for AI Application Security - Established Vendors

Securing AI, From Coding to Autonomous Agents

AI no longer just assists, it acts. Coding agents modify files and run commands, AI applications reach into proprietary data and autonomous agents take actions across your tools and systems.

Security now has to protect far more than models. It has to secure AI coding, enterprise AI applications and the autonomous agents themselves.

We believe this recognition reflects the comprehensive approach behind Prisma® AIRS™, our AI security platform that brings together visibility, risk assessment, runtime protection, agent security and AI governance.
