At the same time, the cybersecurity firm has begun using Google\u2019s Gemini models to power its AI copilots and has adopted <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/vertex-ai?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=japac-PH-all-en-dr-BKWS-all-core-trial-PHR-dr-1710102&amp;utm_content=text-ad-none-none-DEV_c-CRE_770686580561-ADGP_Hybrid+%7C+BKWS+-+BRO+%7C+Txt+-+AIML-GenerativeAI-VertexAI-PH_en-KWID_1393876423869-kwd-1393876423869&amp;userloc_20817-network_g&amp;utm_term=KW_google+vertex+ai&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=19786971307&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiA9aPKBhBhEiwAyz82JylrxoDmczNiQ0yFAbDViLQLfYJzov1oNRWkCviWdUsBaNpig_k1dxoC7R8QAvD_BwE&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Google Cloud\u2019s Vertex AI<\/a> platform to support development and deployment.<\/span><span id=\"aidr-input-non-human-chunk\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"input-sentence~2\">This shift comes as enterprises face growing pressure to adopt AI without weakening their security posture.<\/span> <span id=\"input-sentence~3\">According to Palo Alto Networks, customers increasingly want safeguards that apply not only to traditional workloads but also to live AI systems and data pipelines. <\/span><span id=\"input-sentence~3\">Therefore, the next phase of the partnership aims to help organizations protect AI workloads running on <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/?_gl=1*u4i8o2*_up*MQ..&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiA9aPKBhBhEiwAyz82J6kgdYG7lR9oSSPX2DsYcyU3oAWoMtouvj2c_hbHQO6SF4QYbt6wsxoCg9EQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Google Cloud<\/a> while maintaining consistent security policies across environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"input-sentence~4\">The two companies already share a long history of technical and commercial ties. Palo Alto Networks has developed more than 75 integrations with Google Cloud and has generated roughly $2 billion in sales through the Google Cloud Marketplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"input-sentence~5\">For Google Cloud, teaming up with a top cybersecurity company fits right into their bigger plan to make their platform the go-to spot for secure AI development. Working side by side with a heavyweight in security lets Google Cloud tackle real customer worries about things like governance, transparency, and risk, especially as more businesses start using AI. Security isn\u2019t something they\u2019re tacking on at the end; both companies want it to be part of the entire process from the start.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"input-sentence~6\">Stepping back, this deal is part of a bigger shift in enterprise tech. Now that AI is everywhere, companies are starting to see cloud platforms, security, and AI development as pieces of the same puzzle. Moves like this show how tech vendors are betting that these priorities will keep coming together as the industry moves forward.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palo Alto Networks just signed a multibillion-dollar deal to move some of its main internal workloads over to Google Cloud.
