How Secure Are Your AI and Cloud Environments? Just Ask CLARA

How much visibility do you have in AI and public cloud environments? The honest answer for many is “not nearly enough,” and some CISOs and security experts aren’t sure how well their network security tools actually work in those environments. It’s certainly what we’ve heard from many of these professionals who face security complexity and unverified defenses and fear their existing security tools are creating gaps primed for attackers to exploit.

That’s why we’ve launched the complimentary Cloud and AI Risk Assessment (CLARA) to help organizations counter the growing risk of breaches stemming from lack of visibility and advanced network protection across rapidly expanding cloud and AI environments. The no-cost CLARA assessments provide detailed analysis of an organization's cloud network and AI ecosystems to uncover hidden risks, validate existing security controls and identify ways to harden defenses against emerging threats.

Visibility Is a Widespread Security Challenge

The availability of CLARA comes at a time when many enterprises are struggling with significant blind spots in their IT environments. The overwhelming complexity of managing security compounds this challenge, with organizations using an average of 45 different security tools, many experience duplicated efforts and inconsistent policies, which can significantly drive up operational costs.

This complexity creates significant risk, as customers report uncertainty about whether their security tools are configured correctly or even working at all. Considering that recent research shows that 80% of security exposures are now found in cloud environments, organizations can no longer afford to have weaker security when operating in public clouds.

Shine a Light on Your Security Efficacy

So why not see what’s actually working? The CLARA offerings are complimentary, no-obligation solutions designed to provide visibility and validate defenses through three in-depth assessments:

  • Cloud Risk Assessment: This assessment evaluates network risk and exposure across public cloud networks and AI ecosystems. The service uncovers exposures, analyzes the organization's risk posture, and provides a detailed application and network risk report to better measure risk in the cloud.
  • Cloud Firewall Benchmarking: This assessment identifies gaps in firewall protection offered by cloud service providers (CSPs). It uses automated breach and attack simulations to compare Palo Alto Networks to cloud firewalls and is designed to help organizations discover weaknesses and prioritize security initiatives.
  • AI Risk Assessment: Examines AI ecosystems for vulnerabilities and potential data loss. This includes assessing AI apps for specific attacks like GenAI prompt injections, scanning AI models and datasets for malicious scripts, and using an automated team of "white hat" AI agents to identify weaknesses across applications, data and models.

Organizations can select one, two, or all three of these free diagnostic assessments.

Get Insights Designed to Boost Security Across Environments

In recent conversations we’ve held with CISOs and cybersecurity executives, they’ve told us they need ways to prevent damaging breaches and data losses that can cost an organization millions of dollars. With CLARA, these professionals can proactively reduce risk through comprehensive visibility and the validation of existing security controls. You want to know whether something works or not. Plus, you need to know whether your security spending is justifiable, and these reviews provide insights about the value and ROI of the security tools you currently have in place.

The process is simple. Just select the assessments you need, and we’ll provide you with a deep analysis of what’s really going on with your cloud and AI network security. You’ll see your vulnerabilities and identify blind spots that, when left uncorrected, can dramatically increase risk. We encourage you to see how you can improve your security posture — just sign up here and we’ll take it from there to find the answers you need.
