AI adoption is outpacing every major tech wave of the past two decades, reshaping the digital enterprise faster than most security leaders expected. In this episode of Threat Vector, Meerah Rajavel, Chief Information Officer at Palo Alto Networks, joins David Moulton to talk about how CIOs can successfully lead AI transformation while securing new AI-powered ecosystems. Meerah shares how Palo Alto Networks is building internal AI agents like Panda AI, leveraging generative AI to support developers, go-to-market, and support teams, and combining automation and AI to eliminate up to 90% of enterprise service tickets. She also discusses the critical security risks introduced by generative AI and why innovation, with AI at its core, is the most powerful weapon against today’s real-time threats.

Meerah was last on Threat Vector in December of last year, and it’s great to have her back. That episode, Behind the Scenes with Palo Alto Networks CIO and CISO: Securing Business Success with Frictionless Cybersecurity, discussed the importance of aligning IT strategy with cybersecurity. That episode explored how frictionless security, AI integration, and cloud solutions enable agility without compromising safety.
