AI Access Security (Palo Alto Networks): AI endpoint control facts (2026)

Short answer

AI Access Security is Palo Alto Networks' control for employee use of GenAI apps, linked from its Prisma Access and SASE pages, with visibility into shadow AI across 4,000+ GenAI apps, control and protection against data loss. It sits in the network path, so nothing AI-specific goes on the laptop. Coding agents, MCP servers and the specific actions are not described on the page we read, and no price is published.
