InterSECt 2026: PAN-OS 12.2 Ceres & AI Security

Palo Alto Networks is preparing to reveal PAN-OS 12.2 Ceres at InterSECt 2026. This announcement comes as frontier AI is changing network security, with adversaries using AI models to find vulnerabilities and launch exploits at machine speed. The company states that traditional security struggles against autonomous attacks that bypass older defenses quickly. InterSECt 2026 will be a 60-minute virtual experience. It will focus on eliminating exposure before attacks begin. Attendees will explore architecture, tools, and a blueprint to neutralize autonomous threats. This matters because businesses need to adapt their network defense to counter rapidly evolving AI-powered cyber threats.
