Palo Alto Networks Completes Chronosphere Acquisition, Unifying Observability and Security for .....
As enterprises increasingly rely on AI to run digital operations,
protect assets, and drive growth, success depends on one critical factor:
trusted, high-quality, real-time data. Palo Alto Networks, the
global cybersecurity leader, announced it has completed its acquisition
of Chronosphere, addressing a core challenge of the AI era: the inability to
see and secure the massive data volumes running modern businesses.
Chronosphere, aLeader in the
2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms was purpose-built to
handle this scale. While legacy tools break down in cloud-native environments,
Chronosphere gives customers deep visibility across their entire digital
estate. With this acquisition, Palo Alto Networks is redefining how
organizations run at the speed of AI—by enabling customers to gain deep,
real-time visibility into their applications, infrastructure, and AI systems —
while maintaining strict control over data cost and value.
The planned integration of
Palo Alto Networks Cortex AgentiX with Chronosphere’s
cloud-native observability platform will allow customers to apply AI agents
that can now find and fix security and IT issues automatically—before they
impact the customer or the bottom line. AI security without deep observability
is blind; this acquisition delivers the essential context across models,
prompts, users, and performance to move from manual guessing to autonomous
remediation.
Nikesh Arora, Chairman and
CEO, Palo Alto Networks, said, “Enterprises
today are looking for fewer vendors, deeper partnerships, and platforms they
can rely on for mission-critical security and operations. Chronosphere
accelerates our vision to be the indispensable platform for securing and
operating the cloud and AI. We believe that great security starts with deep
visibility into all your data, and Chronosphere provides that foundation for
our customers.”
Martin Mao, Co-founder and
CEO, Chronosphere is joining Palo Alto Networks as SVP, GM Observability and
comments: "Chronosphere was built
to help the world’s most complex digital organizations operate at scale with
confidence. Joining Palo Alto Networks allows us to bring AI-era observability
to a global audience. Together, we’re delivering a new standard — where
observability, security, and AI come together to give organizations control
over their most valuable asset: data.”
The Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline remains
available as a standalone solution, enabling organizations to eliminate the
'data tax' associated with modern security operations. By acting as an
intelligent control layer, the pipeline filters low-value noise to reduce data
volumes by 30% or more while requiring 20x less infrastructure than legacy
alternatives. This is key to Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM® strategy, ensuring customers
can scale their security posture—not their spending—as they transition to
autonomous, AI-driven operations.
