Palo Alto Networks Launches Cortex Cloud ASPM to Revolutionize AI and Cloud Application Security

by VARINDIA 2025-08-07

With cloud threats on the rise and application development cycles shrinking, Palo Alto Networks is setting a new benchmark in proactive application security.

Palo Alto Networks has announced the launch of Cortex Cloud Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), redefining how organizations protect their cloud-native and AI-driven applications. This prevention-first ASPM solution is designed to proactively block security vulnerabilities before deployment, making application security 10x faster and more efficient.

As AI-generated code accelerates development timelines from months to hours, Cortex Cloud ASPM ensures that cybersecurity teams can keep pace. By integrating security early in the DevSecOps pipeline, this innovative ASPM platform prevents threats from reaching production, reducing operational costs and enhancing cloud security posture.

Key Highlights:

●Prevention-First Approach: Cortex Cloud ASPM identifies and stops security risks in the development phase, minimizing exposure in production environments.

●Unified AppSec Ecosystem: With an open partner framework, it supports top third-party application security tools like Black Duck, Checkmarx, GitLab, HashiCorp, Semgrep, Snyk, and Veracode—offering a single-pane-of-glass view across all security data

● Automated Remediation: The platform automates vulnerability fixes, saving developers time and eliminating security backlogs.

● AI-Ready Integration: As part of the unified Cortex platform, it enables full-spectrum visibility across code, cloud infrastructure, and the Security Operations Center (SOC), leveraging AI for real-time threat detection and response.

Sarit Tager, VP of Product Management at Palo Alto Networks, emphasized, “With Cortex Cloud ASPM, we offer the most comprehensive, automated, and scalable approach to application security, aligning perfectly with today’s fast-paced AI development cycles.”
