Palo Alto Networks reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $3.0 billion, up 31% from $2.3 billion a year earlier.

The company said the quarter was driven by its platformization strategy, which bundles network security, security operations, observability and identity security into integrated offerings. Its network security platform now spans Prisma Access, Prisma SD-WAN, Prisma Browser, hardware and software next-generation firewalls, and cloud-delivered security services including Advanced Threat Prevention, Advanced WildFire, Advanced URL Filtering, Advanced DNS Security, Device Security, GlobalProtect, Prisma Access Agent, Enterprise DLP, AIOps, SaaS Security and AI Access Security.

The company also highlighted Prisma AIRS, its AI security platform, which is designed to protect AI ecosystems with AI Model Security, AI Posture Management, AI Red Teaming, AI Runtime Security and AI Agent Security. Its Strata Cloud Manager management layer includes Strata Copilot and Autonomous Digital Experience Monitoring.

In security operations, Palo Alto Networks said Cortex now combines SIEM, endpoint security, security automation, cloud detection and response and attack surface management. The lineup includes Cortex XSIAM, Cortex XDR, Cortex XSOAR, Cortex Xpanse and Koi Security. Cortex Cloud extends security across the application development lifecycle and covers multi* and hybrid-cloud environments from code to cloud to security operations.

The company’s observability business, Chronosphere, is positioned around real-time visibility across cloud-native infrastructure, applications and AI workloads, with a telemetry pipeline intended to reduce data volumes and lower costs.

Its identity security platform, Idira, covers workforce identity, IT and developer privilege access, machine identity, identity governance and administration, and AI agents security.

Unit 42, its threat intelligence and advisory arm, provides incident response, consulting, managed detection and response and managed threat hunting. In April 2026, Palo Alto Networks launched Unit 42 Frontier AI Defense services.

The filing also says the company is focused on simplifying customer security architectures by consolidating point products into platforms and expanding its capabilities across users, networks, clouds, endpoints and identities. The market has reacted to these announcements by moving the company's shares -5.7% to a price of $280.23. For the full picture, make sure to review Palo Alto Networks Inc's 10-Q report.
