Organizations are innovating to drive business acceleration through multicloud adoption and generative AI. Yet, these new and evolving innovations also expand the enterprise attack surface and introduce new risks that traditional security tools are not qualified to address.

This is the story of how your foundational security investment can evolve to meet this moment—not through a painful migration, but through a seamless upgrade that transforms security into a business enabler.

Build Upon Your Foundation for the Future

Your virtual firewalls, such as VM-Series software firewalls, have served as a critical foundation for multicloud security, protecting the enterprise across the cloud and virtualized environments. But the business strategy you enabled, powered by generative AI and expansive multicloud environments, has outpaced that original architecture. This new landscape of ephemeral workloads, containerized applications, and AI models creates inconsistent policies and blind spots. This is where Prisma^Ⓡ AIRS™ builds directly upon your VM-Series foundation, evolving it into a unified security platform that enforces a consistent Zero Trust policy across these new, complex environments.

Secure Your Most Critical AI and Cloud Initiatives

This new, unified platform, built upon your VM-Series virtual firewalls and enabled by the flexible pricing approach, delivers the specific protections you need to confidently say yes to the business's most ambitious projects. This flexibility allows you to:

• Secure the full AI lifecycle by scanning AI models before deployment and delivering real-time threat prevention for AI applications in production.
• Deploy a consistent multicloud security fabric to enforce a single, unified Zero Trust policy across all your public and private cloud environments.
• Achieve true microsegmentation by inspecting all east-west (server-to-server) traffic within Kubernetes clusters, effectively stopping lateral threat movement.
• Meet high-performance demands with an architecture built to elastically scale, handling the unpredictable, high-throughput traffic generated by AI applications.

Enable Your Easiest Security Upgrade with Flexible Credits

In most technology evolutions, the most significant hurdles are procurement friction and operational risk. This upgrade from virtual firewall to the leading AI and multicloud security platform is different because the transition path is seamless. Your existing investment in flexible credits for on-demand consumption and pricing is the key to making this transition to Prisma AIRS simple. This approach removes the complexity of managing multiple SKUs and forecasting future needs. Instead, you leverage a single pool of credits applicable to your VM-Series foundation today and simply reallocate to Prisma AIRS to secure AI workloads or container environments tomorrow without requiring a new procurement cycle.

This shift is an upgrade, not a "rip and replace" migration. A native platform upgrade tool, available in early 2026, will transition your VM-Series foundation, maintaining business continuity and eliminating the uncertainty that often delays critical security advancements.

Flexible credits allow you to easily expand protections as the needs of your business change.

Transform Security into a Strategic Business Accelerator

By evolving your security foundation, you transition security from a cost center to a key business enabler. This strategic upgrade future-proofs the business and delivers tangible outcomes:

• Reduce operational complexity by consolidating disparate point products into a single, unified security platform.
• Lower your total cost of ownership by eliminating redundant tools and maximizing the value of your existing investments.
• Transform the security organization's role from a barrier to an accelerator of innovation.
• Enable the business to pursue ambitious AI and multicloud initiatives confidently, with security embedded from the start.
