Palo Alto Networks Inc. today added more capabilities to its fast-growing Prisma SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) platform by leveraging AI to create what the company calls “a blueprint for the AI-ready enterprise.” The Secure Access Service Edge service delivers protection against AI-powered threats, data security that adapts to how information flows, and unified operations capable of intelligent scaling.
Artificial intelligence is at the heart of almost every part of an organization’s strategy, and that includes information technology operations. However, many organizations aren’t seeing clear business results. In fact, a recent MIT Study found that 95% of generative AI projects are failing. One of the big reasons for failure is that AI is being deployed in silos resulting in partial insights into the broader ecosystem.
The implementation of artificial intelligence generates wide-ranging effects throughout all industrial sectors through its generative capabilities and large language models together with autonomous systems and scientific discovery applications, but true AI capabilities have been hard to achieve because the foundation of the infrastructure needs a complete redesign.
As generative artificial intelligence tools are becoming more prevalent in the workplace, employees are accessing these tools via personal accounts on company devices, pasting in sensitive data, and downloading content — all of which creates potential security risks. Meanwhile, cybercriminals are capitalizing on this trend by weaponizing AI and impersonating trusted tools.
Nvidia Corp. recently held an industry analyst briefing on the topic of physical artificial intelligence, and Chief Executive Jensen Huang has been consistent in his talk track in every keynote he has done this year that physical AI is the next wave of AI. In fact, he has often stated that eventually anything that moves – from lawnmowers to forklifts to cars — will be autonomous giving rise to the physical AI era.
