Cortex Cloud + Unit 42: Stop Alerts, Start Preventing Breaches

AI agents powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP) are reshaping how enterprises work — coordinating tasks, integrating with tools and making autonomous decisions at scale. But the very power that makes MCP so transformative also makes it dangerous. Attackers don’t need to break your infrastructure; they just need to trick your AI. From prompt injections and impersonated services to excessive privilege and compromised “trusted” tools, MCP introduces a new class of vulnerabilities that can quietly erode revenue, trust and compliance.

Traditional security controls aren’t designed for this environment. AI agents move fast, interpret loosely and can be manipulated in ways legacy defenses can’t detect. The question isn’t whether MCP-enabled agents can be exploited — it’s how quickly adversaries will take advantage.

In this session, we’ll demystify MCP, expose the top security gaps it creates and share a practical security playbook for containing AI risk. Whether you’re an executive asking “what’s the business impact?” or a practitioner asking “how do I defend it?”, you’ll walk away with a clear roadmap for securing your agentic future.

You’ll learn:

● How MCP works — and why it’s becoming the backbone of agentic AI.
● The most common and dangerous ways AI agents can be tricked.
● Security strategies to control agent “agency” and prevent rogue behavior.
● What leaders must do now to protect AI-powered systems before attackers strike.

Join us to uncover the hidden risks in MCP — and how to defend your AI before it makes a decision you can’t take back.

Can your AI Be Tricked? Exposing the Security Gaps in MCP

AI systems are no longer theoretical targets — they’re already being exploited. From jailbreaks and prompt injections to data leaks and agent manipulation, attackers are using simple language to probe and break systems once thought secure. Traditional pentesting can’t keep pace with this reality. AI behaves unpredictably, its vulnerabilities change with context and every new update or integration introduces fresh risk.

In this session, we’ll explore why AI needs an entirely new red teaming playbook. You’ll hear real-world evidence of how even the most advanced models fail under adversarial testing, and why continuous red teaming — across models, applications and agents — is now essential. We’ll break down how red teaming works in practice, from simulating guardrail bypasses and data exfiltration to uncovering context-driven flaws that only appear in deployment.

You’ll learn:

● Why AI’s nondeterministic nature breaks the old red-teaming model.
● The most common attack vectors enterprises face today.
● How vulnerabilities differ in models, applications and agents.
● How continuous red teaming builds confidence for developers, executives and customers alike.

Join us to see how AI red teaming turns hidden flaws into actionable insights — helping you protect your business before attackers exploit the gaps.

Red Teaming Your AI Systems Before Attackers Do

Generative AI is transforming how businesses innovate — but it also opens the door to risks that only surface once systems go live. Even rigorously trained models can harbor hidden flaws that attackers exploit through prompt injection, jailbreaks, tool misuse or data exfiltration. These aren’t rare edge cases — organizations have already suffered financial loss, compliance penalties and reputational damage from AI failures.

In this webinar, we’ll show why static testing and traditional tools can’t keep pace with adaptive AI systems. You’ll learn:

• How vulnerabilities emerge when chatbots and agents interact with real users.
• Real-world cases where runtime attacks disrupted operations and eroded trust.
• Why legacy security methods fail to block AI-specific threats.
• A practical framework for runtime protection using inspection, monitoring and adaptive defenses.
• How Prisma AIRS™ AI Runtime Security delivers broad detection and low-latency safeguards without slowing innovation.

Join us to see how runtime protection transforms AI from an unpredictable risk into a trusted, resilient business enabler.

When Hidden Flaws Surface: Securing AI at Runtime

AI is a powerful driver of innovation, but it can introduce an invisible risk: unintentional data leaks. These leaks are often self-inflicted when employees, customers or partners unintentionally expose sensitive data through AI tools. Systems can remember, replicate and resurface confidential information in unexpected ways, leaving organizations vulnerable without a clear forensic trail. The ultimate risk isn’t just fines or a breach notification, but a profound loss of trust from customers, regulators and boards.

In this webinar, we'll shift the conversation from a technical problem to a trust-driven business imperative. You'll learn:

● Why traditional security models fail.
● The most common ways sensitive data slips into and out of AI systems.
● How to build a proactive AI governance strategy with real-time visibility and automated guardrails.
● How to accelerate AI adoption safely. 

Join us to move beyond reactive security and create a responsible AI framework that lets you innovate confidently.

When AI Leaks: Containing and Preventing Sensitive Data Leaks

AI is redefining what’s possible, with over 78% of global enterprises having integrated it into their operations. However, only 6% have an advanced AI security strategy framework. To compensate, many organizations are putting AI guardrails in place, hoping to seal security gaps without slowing innovation.

In this webinar, we'll expose the "guardrail trap" — the reason why these traditional mechanisms often fail under real-world pressure. Drawing on recent examples, we'll show you how adversaries exploit fragmented standards and risky design decisions, turning a "lethal trifecta" of external data, permissive tools and broad access rights into a major liability. 

You’ll leave with a clear framework for avoiding the guardrail trap — and a view into how Prisma AIRS™ can help your organization build AI systems that aren’t just functional, but resilient, compliant and trustworthy.

The Guardrail Trap: Why Existing AI Security Strategies Aren't Enough

Organizations face pressure as AI adoption accelerates and cloud environments expand, yet most lack full visibility into their security posture. With 79% of organizations reporting visibility gaps leading to three times more security incidents, the stakes are high. As AI spending surges across 96% of enterprises, identifying vulnerabilities in cloud networks and AI systems is critical.

This webinar explores three approaches to address security blind spots that put your organization at risk. Gain insights to protect cloud infrastructure and AI deployments before incidents occur.

· Techniques for assessing network risk in public cloud environments
· Strategies to test cloud firewalls against advanced threats
· Methods to identify exposures in AI applications, models, and data

Learn how complimentary tools can uncover security gaps and AI vulnerabilities missed by traditional methods. Watch to shift from reactive response to proactive security management.

3 Ways to Identify Your AI & Cloud Network Security Blind Spots

Cryptographically relevant quantum computers threaten traditional key exchange methods, leaving encrypted data vulnerable to harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks. Adversaries collect encrypted communications today, intending to decrypt them once quantum computers advance. Organizations must explore protection strategies beyond standard encryption.

This webinar examines quantum key distribution (QKD), an out-of-band key exchange technology using quantum mechanics instead of mathematical formulas. Unlike conventional methods, QKD generates encryption keys through a separate appliance, ensuring harvested data stays secure as attackers never access the key material. Topics include:

· How QKD integrates with VPN infrastructure
· Real-world use cases securing financial and government communications
· QKD’s advantages, limitations, and distance constraints

Learn how early adopters deploy QKD to protect sensitive data against future quantum threats.

What is Quantum Key Distribution?

Traditional random number generators may leave cryptographic keys vulnerable to attacks, including quantum computing threats. As organizations transition to quantum-resistant security, entropy quality for encryption keys is critical yet often overlooked.

This session explores quantum random number generators (QRNGs) and their role in enhancing data security. Palo Alto Networks experts discuss the differences between pseudo-random, true random, and quantum random number generators, highlighting why entropy quality is as vital as key length for protecting sensitive data. The session includes evidence of vulnerabilities from weak entropy and guidance on implementing QRNG technology.

· Types of random number generators and their security implications
· How weak entropy has compromised SSL/TLS servers and IoT devices
· Current QRNG options, from embedded chips to cloud-based services

Watch this webinar to learn how QRNGs can strengthen your cryptographic foundation.

What is Quantum Random Number Generator QRNG?

Quantum computing threatens encryption standards, making the shift to postquantum cryptography (PQC) essential. Traditional algorithms protecting sensitive data today will become vulnerable as quantum computers emerge.

This session provides security leaders a roadmap for PQC migration. Experts from Palo Alto Networks cover technical fundamentals, standardization efforts, and strategies for quantum readiness. Key topics include:

· NIST-approved PQC algorithms for lattice-based, hash-based, and code-based approaches
· Hybrid cipher strategies combining classical and postquantum keys for compatibility and security
· Crypto agility frameworks enabling rapid algorithm transitions
· Migration scope and timeline for VPNs, TLS, certificate authorities, and endpoints

Cryptographic transitions take time—TLS 1.1 remains widely supported despite deprecation. With PQC adoption likely taking 8-10 years, organizations must start planning now to protect against quantum threats.

What is Post-Quantum Cryptography?

The threat of quantum computing to cryptography is imminent, making quantum readiness essential. Delaying initiatives risks exposing sensitive data to harvesting attacks, where encrypted information is collected now and decrypted later when quantum computers advance.

This session provides a framework for transitioning to a quantum-resistant network. Experts from Palo Alto Networks outline steps to assess cryptographic posture, prioritize migration based on business impact, and implement interim protections. Topics include:

· Conducting a cryptographic inventory to identify vulnerabilities
· Categorizing data by sensitivity and business impact to guide priorities
· Strengthening VPN and TLS security against quantum threats
· Using labs to evaluate post-quantum cryptography

Quantum migration is a multi-year initiative requiring careful planning. Start now to protect data needing long-term confidentiality. Watch to build a tailored quantum readiness roadmap.

Kickstarting Your Quantum Readiness Plan

Quantum computing threatens enterprise security as traditional encryption like RSA and elliptic curve cryptography nears obsolescence.
