Palo Alto Networks Completes Acquisition of Chronosphere to Advance AI-Driven Security and Observability
Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), the global leader in cybersecurity, has announced the completion of its acquisition of Chronosphere, a move aimed at addressing one of the most critical challenges of the artificial intelligence era: the ability to comprehensively monitor and secure the massive volumes of data that power modern digital enterprises.
As organizations increasingly rely on AI technologies to manage digital operations, safeguard assets, and accelerate growth, success has become dependent on a fundamental factor—the availability of high-quality, reliable, real-time data.
Chronosphere’s platform, recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms, was purpose-built to handle this unprecedented scale of data. At a time when traditional tools struggle to perform in cloud-native environments, Chronosphere enables organizations to gain full visibility across their entire digital ecosystem.
With this acquisition, Palo Alto Networks is redefining how enterprises operate in the AI era by delivering advanced, real-time insights into applications, infrastructure, and AI-powered systems, while ensuring precise data cost management and maximizing operational value.
The upcoming integration between Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex® AgentiX™ platform and Chronosphere’s cloud observability platform will enable the deployment of AI agents capable of autonomously detecting and resolving security and IT issues—before they impact customer experience or financial performance. True AI security cannot be achieved without deep and comprehensive observability, and this acquisition provides critical contextual visibility into models, prompts, users, and performance, enabling a shift from manual, reactive processes to fully automated, self-healing operations.
