AI, cloud adoption, and a distributed workforce are transforming how enterprises operate, creating new challenges for securing users, applications, and data everywhere. Traditional point solutions can’t keep up with today’s scale and speed in the AI era. This session will explore how Prisma SASE empowers organizations to stop evasive AI threats, secure modern work globally, protect data, and automate operations and management — enabling secure access for every user, to every application, from any location, while building the foundation for a modern AI-ready enterprise.

The autonomous SOC is no longer just an aspiration—advances in AI have made it possible. In this session, we’ll reveal five keys to building the autonomous SOC with Cortex XSIAM. See how unifying all your data, analytics, automation, XDR, and AI into a single platform transforms security operations. Experience agentic AI in action with a fast-paced demo, and learn how AI-driven playbooks accelerate detection, triage, investigation, and response. You’ll also see why human expertise remains essential to guide and validate outcomes—and the skills you’ll need as SOC operations evolve.

Today's distributed workforce relies heavily on browsers, creating a significant security gap as 95% of organizations report browser-originated security incidents. This session will demonstrate how Prisma Browser secures this critical workspace. Learn to enable secure work on any device in minutes, prevent the leak of data-in-use, eliminate blind spots in encrypted traffic, and stop advanced threats. Powered by Palo Alto Network's security, it blocks 30.9 billion attacks daily, protecting your organization's most vulnerable access point.
