Palo Alto Networks has launched the Cortex AgentiX platform designed to build, deploy and govern an AI agent workforce for the enterprises of the future.
As automation has already transformed routine tasks, Cortex AgentiX heralds a new era of full autonomy where intelligent agents dynamically plan, reason and act at up to 100 times faster than human operations can counter modern, AI-powered cyber threats.
Trained on 1.2 billion playbook executions, the platform moves beyond the limitations of rigid, single-purpose automation tools. It can manage security tasks from start to finish without needing constant human intervention. This helps cybersecurity teams work much faster — reducing the time it takes to handle security threats by as much as 98 percent, and needing only one-quarter of the manual effort, so security staff can focus on more important work.
Cortex AgentiX includes a range of prebuilt, ready-to-deploy security agents such as a Threat Intelligence Agent, an Email Investigation Agent, an Endpoint Investigation Agent, a Network Security Agent, a Cloud Security Agent, and an IT Agent.
These agents work as seamless extensions of enterprise operations to aggregate threat intelligence, automate threat response, and orchestrate security across cloud, network, endpoint, and IT environments.
For enterprises that prefer customisation, AgentiX offers a no-code GenAI builder for rapid creation of powerful, compliant agents tailored to any IT or security challenge, leveraging more than 1,000 pre-built integrations.
The platform enforces granular access controls, full auditability and human-in-the-loop approvals for sensitive actions to ensure transparency and organisational trust.
Its seamless integration with Cortex Cloud, Cortex XSIAM and soon, Cortex XDR, means enterprises can implement autonomous security operations immediately, with standalone capabilities arriving in early 2026.
