The Palo Alto Networks team is routinely asked, “Do you use Prisma AIRS to secure your own AI apps, models and agents?” The unequivocal answer is, “Of course we do.” We use Prisma AIRS to secure several different AI apps, models and agents across the company, the most notable of which is Strata Copilot.

Quick Overview of Prisma AIRS

Prisma AIRS API is an SaaS REST API designed to secure AI apps, models and agents against threats such as sensitive data loss, malicious URLs, toxic language, prompt injections and malicious code at runtime. The API can be easily integrated into application code via requests libraries or via the Prisma AIRS Python SDK.

Strata Copilot at a Glance

Strata Copilot, powered by Precision AI^Ⓡ, helps security teams quickly and easily find, understand, and address threats before they turn into trouble, leveraging the power and simplicity of natural language. It is designed to enable seamless discovery across a comprehensive knowledge base, provide instant access to insights through natural language, and recommend guided actions for faster resolution.

How We Secure Strata Copilot with Prisma AIRS

The Strata Copilot team was the first to use Prisma AIRS. They, in effect, served as our first customer and helped shape the roadmap. As of today, every user interaction in the United States with Strata Copilot operates through the Prisma AIRS API to check inputs (prompts) and outputs (model responses) for threats like prompt injections, sensitive data patterns, malicious URLs and toxic language.

Prisma AIRS provides the Strata Copilot team with multiple benefits, including visibility, blocking threats at runtime, and building a secure and compliant chatbot. Prisma AIRS also helps the Strata Copilot team ship features faster by ensuring that the copilot follows the Secure AI By Design principles.

Securing AI by Design

Having Strata Copilot as our customer zero and their ongoing use of it has played an integral role in the Prisma AIRS product roadmap. The insights we gained from the Strata Copilot team and external customers have resulted in a unique solution that delivers the fast, flexible AI security that is critical to protecting dynamic AI apps, models and agents.

Sameer Merchant, engineering leader for Strata Copilot, sums this up best, “Our team’s use of Prisma AIRS went far beyond dogfooding. It is an integral part of our dev lifecycle, and we have encouraged other teams to use it as well. We were able to deploy it in minutes with just a few lines of code and use its API intercepts to enable AI security through detection as code. It has helped us to deliver better, more secure AI experiences faster.”
