Strengths

· Broadest AI-lifecycle security platform (model scan → runtime → agent identity)
· Fits existing Palo Alto estates

· Heavy platform lock-in vs a 20-line Lakera call
· Independent Protect AI brand is gone

Pricing notes

As of 2026-09-14: Protect AI is not independent — Palo Alto completed the acquisition 2025-07-22 and folded model scanning, posture, red teaming, runtime, and agent security into Prisma AIRS (3.0 added AI Agent Security / Agent Gateway preview). Enterprise platform SKU; no public per-call list price. Portkey acquisition (closed May 2026) adds a runtime AI gateway. Do not buy 'Protect AI' as a standalone vendor.
