Anthropic has single-handedly sent shockwaves through the software industry over the last few months. The artificial intelligence lab’s Claude Cowork, built on its Claude Code agent, has shown the potential for generative AI applications to displace many enterprise SaaS companies over time. That’s led many analysts to reevaluate how much those stocks’ current earnings are worth.<\/p>\n

That requires a bevy of services to protect all possible angles. Many enterprises are trying to consolidate the number of vendors they use for all of those services, and Palo Alto is positioning itself as the vendor of choice.<\/p>\n
