Palo Alto Networks unveils AI-powered cybersecurity service using Claude, GPT models

Cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks is launching a new service to help businesses identify security vulnerabilities across their systems. The service, called Unit 42 Continuous Frontier AI Defense, uses advanced AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI to continuously test web applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. This allows customers to identify vulnerabilities and possible attack paths as their digital environments change.

The AI models used include Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT, along with open-weight models. According to Investing.com, the specific models used are Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Cyber. The service will provide guidance on fixing security gaps, including code-level fixes and virtual patching options.

Hackers are increasingly using AI to find and exploit weaknesses in corporate networks, prompting cybersecurity firms to build defenses that can detect and respond to threats more quickly, as reported by both Economic Times Tech and Investing.com. The new service from Palo Alto Networks will be available globally through annual subscriptions, with pricing based on the mix of models selected by customers.
