Palo Alto Networks makes a $700M-class AI bet on Portkey gateway

Palo Alto Networks plans to acquire Portkey and fold it into Prisma AIRS.

The goal is to add identity, authentication, scanning, red teaming, and runtime security at the AI gateway layer.

This would give enterprises more control and visibility over prompts, model calls, and agent actions.

The move underscores the AI gateway’s growing role as a security checkpoint in regulated environments.
