Palo Alto Networks Launches Frontier AI Defense Program

Palo Alto Networks today announced the Frontier AI Critical Defense Program, a first-of-its-kind initiative to protect critical infrastructure from AI-driven exploits. Through the program, leaders across operational technology (OT), healthcare, commercial software and open-source communities coordinate with Palo Alto Networks to deploy proactive “virtual patches,” neutralizing vulnerabilities at the network-level before attackers can exploit them.

Palo Alto Networks recently used Frontier AI models to uncover more than 14,000 previously unknown vulnerabilities in open source software, underscoring how AI could enable threat actors to automate cyberattacks and shrink attack timelines. Yet, critical infrastructure operators, constrained by strict uptime and safety testing, cannot patch at AI speed. This mismatch creates a significant exposure gap, leaving essential systems vulnerable long before software fixes can be safely deployed.

True defense at AI speed requires joint action. This program builds on our existing collaborations with IBM and Red Hat (as part of Lightwell), Microsoft (as...

Why your best-interviewing AI candidate may not be your best AI hire

Demand for AI fluency has risen nearly sevenfold in two years, faster than demand for any other skill, according to the McKinsey Global Institute. My conversations with technology leaders echo this: nearly every one I speak with is hiring for AI skills. The problem, however, is that fewer can tell
