Zero Networks expands Palo Alto Networks integration to AI agent control
Zero-trust security startup Zero Networks Ltd. today expanded its integration with Palo Alto Networks Inc., adding automated threat containment and a set of controls aimed at artificial intelligence agents.
The two companies first integrated their products in February 2025. Zero Networks discovers and tags assets without agents. Palo Alto Networks firewalls take that context in as Dynamic Address Groups, and the policy follows a device when it moves.
The expansion pushes the pairing from policy orchestration into enforcement. Customers can now contain a compromised asset on its own instead of pulling an entire segment offline. Selected traffic from protected workloads can also be routed to Palo Alto Networks firewalls for Layer 7 threat prevention, which puts deep inspection on internal east-west traffic that would usually stay inside the segment it started in. Anything flagged as malicious gets blocked and the affected asset is cut off.
Redirection runs on Linux systems today. Windows support is planned, which would extend the same inspection and containment to the Windows systems that make up much of the enterprise attack surface.
