Introducing CLARA Agent: Instant Cloud & AI Risk Insights Available on Google Cloud Gemini Enterprise
Published 30 September 2026
WHAT HAPPENED
Palo Alto Networks launched CLARA Agent, an AI-powered tool that integrates Strata Cloud Manager with Google Cloud Gemini Enterprise to provide cloud security insights through natural language queries. The agent will be available on Google Cloud Marketplace and automatically discovers infrastructure, identifies shadow AI models, and prioritizes vulnerabilities.
WHO IS INVOLVED
Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud partnered on the integration. The tool connects Strata Cloud Manager directly to Gemini Enterprise and uses the open Agent-to-Agent protocol and Model Context Protocol servers for secure responses.
WHY IT MATTERS
Cloud and security teams struggle to gain visibility across sprawling workloads and rapidly deployed AI models, leaving gaps and shadow AI undetected. CLARA Agent consolidates security data from multiple environments and surfaces critical exposures through conversational AI, helping teams identify and prioritize risks faster than manual dashboard review.
