Doing so requires redefining enterprise resilience across three critical dimensions. **First, Frontier AI driven threat velocity and novelty.** Frontier AI models have automated the entire attack lifecycle. Adversaries aren't just compressing exploit windows to near-zero timelines, they are also generating novel, highly evasive threats at machine speed, bypassing traditional signatures and often before patches are generated. **Second, surging network traffic is overwhelming traditional defenses** . Driven by AI workloads, inter-datacenter traffic will nearly triple^1^ over the next decade dramatically expanding the volume of data teams must inspect and secure. **Finally, major shifts are forcing a "cryptographic reset."** Shrinking certificate lifecycles, internet-scale distrust events, and quantum computers powerful enough to crack public key cryptography are combining to shake the foundation of all digital communications. Meeting these challenges requires more than incremental fixes. Today, we are proud to introduce **PAN-OS 12.2 Ceres** , a landmark release representing a major leap forward in network security. Ceres brings to market **55+ innovations** , including three flagship, core capabilities, designed to shift the balance of power back to defenders. ## **Introducing Advanced Virtual Patching: Preemptive Defense Against Frontier AI Exploits** Today, Palo Alto Networks is giving defenders the ultimate advantage with the launch of **Advanced Virtual Patching** . By harnessing Frontier AI to discover unknown vulnerabilities, and deploying protections in hours, we are collapsing the exposure window from the industry-average 55 days^2^ it takes to deploy a traditional patch down into a near-zero window of exposure. This isn't just about faster patching; it's about eliminating the attacker's chance by neutralizing exploits before they ever reach your network. ![Frontier AI models - Collapse the patch window](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/InterSECt-2026_Main-Event_Show-Slides_July-2026-PAN-OS-12.2-Ceres.png) *The new reality: Exploitation far outpaces patch deployment* We've built this capability as a collaborative, force-multiplying ecosystem, with our industry partnerships across the enterprise software and OT vendor landscape to accelerate vulnerability disclosure, remediation and customer protection. This includes our collaboration with Project Lightwell, which combines our rapid network-level protection with software remediation to help organizations reduce exposure to emerging threats. We're also partnering with vulnerability clearinghouses, software maintainers, and industry initiatives to continuously expand a real-time pool of protected vulnerabilities. This approach builds on recent [Unit 42 research](https://unit42.paloaltonetworks.com/frontier-ai-vulnerability-burst/), where the autonomous AI system NOVA identified more than 14,000 previously unknown vulnerabilities in just two months -- a clear signal that defenders must pair AI-powered discovery with equally fast, coordinated protection. We have built an all-new detection engine, "vaulted protection," that enables us to deliver these rapid protections in a safe and responsible manner. When one participant identifies a threat, the entire ecosystem is protected instantly. Individual discovery becomes global protection. This is especially valuable for operational technology (OT), critical infrastructure, healthcare, and IoT: environments where systems can't be taken offline to patch, where patch cycles can stretch for months, and where a single unpatched device can expose an entire network. Advanced Virtual Patching closes that gap in the network, blocking the exploit without applying a patch, rebooting a system, or causing any downtime to critical operations. > Bad actors will lean into Frontier AI to reduce the attack lifecycle from months to minutes. To keep pace, organizations require security partners to match that machine speed. To this end, Palo Alto Networks is raising the bar with its Advanced Virtual Patching, moving beyond compensating controls. By safely and efficiently discovering undisclosed vulnerabilities and deploying protection long before traditional patches can be rolled out, Palo Alto Networks deep security capabilities are flipping network defense from a reactive to proactive operational model. **Will Townsend Chief Analyst, LoneStar Advisory \& Research** And for existing Palo Alto Networks network security customers, getting started is effortless. Advanced Virtual Patching is available as a PAN-OS software upgrade with persistent, automatic content updates, so protections keep arriving as new threats emerge, with no new hardware and no manual intervention. Clearly, Network Security is evolving quickly. Advanced Virtual Patching is part of a huge set of innovations that the team at Palo Alto Networks is delivering in PAN-OS Ceres 12.2 to enable you to stay protected. ## **Advanced IP Defense: Blocking attacker infrastructure before they can strike** Modern threat actors continuously work to hide their attacks and evade existing controls. Adversaries are increasingly evading traditional perimeter detection of their command-and-control traffic by leveraging direct-to-IP connection techniques that bypass DNS and URL inspection entirely. Attackers are also weaponizing massive proxy networks and hundreds of thousands of residential IP addresses to conduct stealthy, large-scale scanning, brute-force attacks, and exploitation that bypass traditional defenses such as IP reputation and blocklists. To counter this, Palo Alto Networks is introducing a new preventative solution, **Advanced IP Defense**, with three powerful new capabilities: * **Real-time IP-layer intelligence** . We leverage global telemetry from over 70,000 customers to track and block attacker infrastructure inline across the entire attack lifecycle. Our researchers track these threats 24/7, so your team doesn't have to. * **Zero-Trust IP enforcement** . We don't just look at an IP's past reputation. We verify the intent of the connection itself. By validating that every network connection maps to a legitimate DNS resolution, we provide a critical guardrail against attackers attempting to evade detection. * **Powerful IP-layer context** . We continuously monitor every connection across more than 40 distinct security attributes, letting you proactively shrink your attack surface and block high-risk traffic from the internet's "bad neighborhoods" with confidence. > The transition to the Frontier AI era isn't a distant future. It's happening right now. The organizations that thrive won't be those trying to run old, reactive playbooks faster; they have to scale their defenses to match a whole new velocity of risk. When threats occur at machine speed, relying on human-scale operations is no longer an option. That is why AI and automation are becoming essential tools to meet these challenges head-on. **Varinder Singh CIO, NXP Semiconductors** ## **Network Security Agents: Making admins superhuman** When threats execute in minutes, human-only operations become a bottleneck. To reduce fatigue and accelerate response, we're launching an elite suite of AI agents for every major role a network administrator performs. These six specialized AI-powered Network Security Agents, available through Strata Cloud Manager, are trained on your enterprise context and operational workflows. From onboarding and configuration to threat assessment and troubleshooting, they automate the hundreds of routine, repetitive tasks that consume an admin's day. And you stay in control: for each workflow, you choose the level of oversight that matches your risk tolerance --- human-in-the-loop, human-on-the-loop, or human-out-of-the-loop. ## **Expanding platform protection across every edge** Securing the modern enterprise means extending these AI-powered capabilities across every surface, from data center cores to remote industrial sites, and from custom AI applications to the web browser. Today we're introducing PAN-OS Ceres 12.2, which, in addition to the innovations above, expands our platform across five more areas: * **Q** **uantum-safe \& next-generation trust security** . Automates digital certificate lifecycle management and accelerates post-quantum cryptographic readiness, including a cryptographic inventory spanning network security, endpoint, SIEM, and vulnerability management integrations for a complete view of enterprise readiness. * **5th-generation ML-optimized hardware** . New high-performance PA-Series firewalls equipped with 400G interfaces, and 300 Gbps of threat inspection, and active clustering, these platforms eliminate capacity limits for AI-era data centers. These firewalls also scale to 1.4Tbps of throughput while delivering 5-microsecond latency ensuring peak performance. * **Modernized OT \& critical infrastructure defense** . Purpose-built PA-50R ruggedized 5G firewalls that extend real-time, AI-powered threat prevention to remote, extreme-environment OT networks and critical infrastructure. * **AI and agent security** . Prisma AIRS is now delivered as a scalable, cloud-native service explicitly engineered to secure AI models, applications, and autonomous agent workflows. The same platform on which we built CloudNGFW has now been extended to provide security for AI with the addition of Prisma AIRS. * **Browser-to-firewall integration** . Imagine the browser as a secure fast-lane that doesn't just protect users, it empowers them. By integrating Prisma Browser with our NGFWs, we've eliminated the need to decrypt on the endpoint while delivering full Layer 7 protection. This is proactive security that neutralizes threats before they can even touch your network. For security admins, policy is fully unified from device to network, delivering a streamlined, automated experience. ![Pan-OS 12.2 Ceres](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/image2-2.png) ## **The path forward** We are investing heavily in the innovations you need to defeat today's threats while future-proofing your enterprise for tomorrow. The transition to the Frontier AI era demands a bold strategy. The winners will be the organizations that adopt a prevention-first architecture capable of stopping threats long before weaponization occurs. With PAN-OS Ceres 12.2, Palo Alto Networks is giving defenders the speed, scale, and platform foundation to turn the tables on modern adversaries. ***Forward-Looking Statements*** *This blog contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, without limitation, statements regarding the benefits, impact, or performance or potential benefits, impact or performance of our products and technologies or future products and technologies.* *Any unreleased services or features (and any services or features not generally available to customers) referenced in this or other press releases or public statements are not currently available (or are not yet generally available to customers) and may not be delivered when expected or at all.
