Last reviewed: September 2026
- Above your stack
- Vendor neutral
- Human approval on every action
The short version
Choose Secure.com if you want a vendor-neutral team of AI Teammates that works above your stack, across every vendor you run, and adds active offense.
Prisma Cloud is a broad cloud security platform, and Palo Alto Networks is unifying it into Cortex Cloud. It covers posture, workloads, identities, code, and data, and connects cloud findings to Cortex XSIAM for SOC response. Secure.com is a vendor-neutral team of AI Teammates that works above your stack. The Red Teammate actively exploits to prove what an attacker reaches, and the Cloud, SOC, and AppSec Teammates act across your tools, every consequential action under your approval. In Secure.com's buyer research, grunt work surfaced in 10 of 14 interviews.
Your team sets the rules. The Teammate works inside them.
Who each option is for
Choose Secure.com if
- You want a vendor-neutral team of AI Teammates that works across the tools you already run.
- You want offense that actively exploits to prove risk, not posture findings alone.
- You want to add one Teammate above your stack under approval, not consolidate onto a platform.
Choose Prisma Cloud if
- You already run Palo Alto Networks and want cloud security tied into Cortex XSIAM and XDR.
- You want one of the broadest CNAPP feature sets across posture, workloads, identities, code, and data.
- You want cloud findings and SOC response on one Palo Alto platform.
Why one vendor's platform isn't the whole picture
Broad cloud coverage tied into a SOC platform is a genuine advantage, and Palo Alto delivers it at scale. But a platform works best on its own data, and proving what an attacker reaches is a different job. The gaps show up fast.
Built for one ecosystem.
The deepest workflows run across Palo Alto products. Tools you keep from other vendors still need a layer that works across them.
Posture, not active exploitation.
Posture checks and attack surface discovery show where risk sits. They do not actively exploit to prove what an attacker reaches.
Consolidation is a program.
Adopting a broad platform across your estate is a major effort. Adding one Teammate above your stack is a smaller first step.
One vendor, or above them all.
A layer above your tools works across whatever you run, including this platform, rather than pulling you toward one vendor.
AI Teammates attack your defenses, harden what they find, and hand your team back hundreds of hours every month.
What gaps Secure.com fills
A layer above your stack
The Teammates act across the tools you already run, from any vendor. Prisma Cloud is a platform you consolidate onto.
Vendor-neutral by design
Secure.com works across whatever cloud, EDR, and SIEM you run. Prisma Cloud's deepest workflows run within the Palo Alto ecosystem.
Active exploitation, not posture
The Red Teammate exploits to prove what an attacker actually reaches. Prisma Cloud finds misconfigurations and maps risk from posture.
One team across offense and defense
The Red, SOC, AppSec, and Cloud Teammates act on shared context. Cortex Cloud links cloud security to Palo Alto's SOC platform.
Start with one Teammate
Add one Teammate above your stack under approval. Prisma Cloud is adopted as modules across your cloud estate.

Add the team without rebuilding your stack
You don't replace your cloud security to start. You add one Teammate to the tools you already run and expand only once it earns the next step.
Find the right starting point
A security context discovery maps your environment and recommends the first Teammate to deploy.
Reach first value with experts
Expert Activation configures and tunes the first Teammate against a guaranteed time to value.
Keep your stack
200+ integrations mean no rip and replace of the SIEM, EDR, IAM, or cloud tools you already run.
Expand when ready
Add Teammates across offense and defense as trust and ROI are established.
