About

Protect AI

Protect AI is now part of Palo Alto Networks' AI-security portfolio, with its former domain redirecting to Prisma AIRS. The acquired company's specialty was securing AI and machine-learning systems, and that expertise now contributes to a broader platform for discovering, testing and defending enterprise AI applications and models.

Protect AI was a Seattle cybersecurity company focused specifically on artificial-intelligence and machine-learning systems. Its products and open-source work addressed risks in AI models, software supply chains, model repositories, runtime applications and adversarial testing. The supplied protectai.com domain now redirects to Palo Alto Networks' Prisma AIRS offering. Prisma AIRS combines AI application discovery and posture management with model and application security, runtime protection and AI red teaming. That product direction is consistent with Protect AI's earlier focus on identifying weaknesses unique to machine-learning infrastructure and generative-AI applications rather than treating AI workloads as ordinary software. The current redirect is a material entity change for this directory listing. Protect AI should no longer be described as an independent Seattle startup with its own active product portfolio. Its technology and expertise now sit inside Palo Alto Networks' AI-security business, so this enrichment describes the acquired company in that current context rather than preserving stale standalone-company claims.
