Palo Alto Networks Acquires Koi For Agentic Security
Palo Alto Networks on Feb. 17, 2026 entered a definitive agreement to acquire Koi, a security startup focused on visibility and protection for AI-native environments. The deal targets agentic endpoint security by addressing threats where AI agents read, write, and move data and chain exploits such as API-based remote code execution and identity spoofing. Enterprises can expect enhanced detection and protections for agent-based attacks.
Key Points
- 1Announces acquisition of Koi to extend AI-native visibility and endpoint protection
- 2Addresses agentic threats where AI agents read, write, move data and chain exploits
- 3Enables security teams to detect spoofed agents and API-based remote code execution
