Meanwhile company employees are using generative AI applications which collect and process sensitive data on a weekly basis - often without the knowledge or consent of the IT department.

You can hear how in this series of on demand videos presented by senior Palo Alto Networks executives.

Elsewhere Chief Product Officer Lee Klarich stresses the importance of combatting threats in real time to prevent data loss and system disruption, while Anand Oswal, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Network Security discusses the importance of securing AI applications in the workplace to protect sensitive data and prevent malicious attacks.

VP or Product Management Mike Jacobsen steps up to demo some of the company's software capabilities, notably a series of copilots - virtual generative AI agents which help customers keep track of what's going across their systems and networks using automated threat intelligence.

You'll hear testimonies from Palo Alto Networks' customers including CostCo, Better, NetApp, Dell and Sable, many of which have launched AI-enabled apps for their own customers and need to ensure that the data those applications use is tagged as proprietary and confidential, and doesn't make it outside of the corporate firewall without their knowledge.

Another Palo Alto Networks customer - customer care specialist Consensus - highlighted the importance of using AI to automate threat detection across an IT estate that includes 400,000 endpoints, 20,000 servers and 25 terabytes of security logs per day for example.
