Palo Alto Networks expands cooperation program for AI security threat response, deploys virtual patches

Palo Alto Networks on Aug. 20 introduced a new cooperation program, the Frontier AI Critical Defense Program, to respond to vulnerabilities in the frontier AI era. The company said defenders face a race against time as frontier AI models uncover previously unknown flaws faster than permanent patches can be applied. The program uses the Frontier Virtual Patching feature and the new Volted Protection detection engine to help organisations share vulnerability information and deploy virtual patches before attackers can exploit them.

Tech industry alliances spread to counter AI-driven threats

Moves to find countermeasures through cooperation are gaining momentum as concerns spread over cyber intrusions tied to using AI models to discover software vulnerabilities. Anthropic introduced its Project Glasswing programme, and OpenAI launched the AI-based cybersecurity initiative Daybreak. Palo Alto Networks rolled out Frontier AI Defense and said it found 75 vulnerabilities in its products within a month of using models from Anthropic and OpenAI. Governments and institutions are also seeking access.
