Palo Alto Networks has acquired Console, an AI-native platform for building agentic workflows across enterprise operations. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Palo Alto Networks plans to integrate Console’s technology with its Cortex security platform, expanding its ability to help security teams investigate signals, prioritize work and take action through AI-powered workflows.
Console enables users to define operational objectives in natural language and use AI agents to perform the analysis and actions required to achieve them.
Palo Alto Networks said the technology can let customers interact directly with security data and create agentic workflows that automatically alert on and remediate issues.
The acquisition advances Palo Alto Networks’ broader strategy of moving security operations toward what it calls “software-as-an-agent,” with autonomous systems performing increasingly complex security tasks.
Console’s team will gain access to Palo Alto Networks’ cybersecurity expertise, platform infrastructure and global enterprise customer base.
Palo Alto Networks currently serves more than 70,000 customers across network, cloud, security operations, AI and identity security.
KEY QUOTES:
“Security operations can no longer be about managing dashboards and queuing tickets just to help humans work faster. By bringing Console into Palo Alto Networks, our customers can have a direct conversation with data and build agentic workflows in natural language that helps alert and remediate issues automatically. This is the shift to software-as-an-agent, giving our platform the arms and legs to deliver autonomous security outcomes across the entire enterprise.”
Nikesh Arora, Chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks
“We built Console around a simple idea: people should be able to express an operational goal, and intelligent software should handle the complexity required to achieve it. Our customers have already proven that agents can dramatically slash overhead and transform their business. Joining Palo Alto Networks gives our team the security expertise, platform foundation, and global scale to bring that vision to the world’s largest enterprises. Together, we can make agentic operations faster to adopt, safer to govern, and far more consequential.”
Andrei Serban, Co-Founder and CEO of Console
