Palo Alto Networks Launches Cortex AgentiX To Automate Cybersecurity Response

• Cortex AgentiX automates cybersecurity tasks, reducing mean time to resolution by 98%.
• Prebuilt AI agents accelerate threat response across Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and IT operations.
• The standalone AgentiX platform is expected in early 2026.

Palo Alto Networks (PANW) has unveiled Cortex AgentiX, a platform designed to manage and deploy autonomous AI agents to handle cybersecurity issues across businesses. 

Cortex AgentiX builds on the company’s decade-long expertise in security automation and allows AI agents to execute complex tasks with minimal human intervention. 

The automated agentic response delivers up to a 98% reduction in mean time to resolution (MTTR) and cutting manual labor by 75%.

Aiding In Security Operations

Initially focused on Security Operations Centers (SOCs), AgentiX leverages prebuilt agents to tackle AI-accelerated cyber threats up to 100 times faster than traditional methods. 

Agents include Threat Intelligence, Email Investigation, Endpoint Investigation, Network Security, Cloud Security, and IT operations.

Palo Alto Networks’ stock inched 0.5% higher on Tuesday morning. However, on Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the stock remained in ‘bearish’ territory amid ‘low’ message volume levels. 

Customization And Integration 

Organizations can create custom no-code agents using a generative AI builder that integrates with over 1,000 enterprise tools and supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

The platform is currently accessible through Cortex Cloud and Cortex XSIAM, with Cortex XDR and the standalone AgentiX platform expected in early 2026. 

"Unleashing autonomous agents without tight control is a recipe for disaster. That's why we built AgentiX on our proven Cortex platform, delivering the full power of agentic AI with the control, traceability, and permission management every enterprise demands.”

-Gonen Fink, EVP of Products, Cortex, Palo Alto Networks.

 “When applied to security teams, this isn't just automation; it's the end of manual toil. We're freeing your experts to transform the SOC, not just chase alerts," he said.

Palo Alto Networks’ stock has gained over 22% in the last 12 months.
