Palo Alto Networks to Buy Chronosphere for $3.35 Billion

  Palo Alto Networks is buying the observability platform Chronosphere for $3.35 billion. 



  Cybersecurity company Palo Alto said the cash-and-stock deal would address demands for observability in the rapidly expanding artificial-intelligence data-center market, combining Chronosphere's observability architecture with Palo Alto's AI-powered AgentiX tool. 



  "Chronosphere was built to scale for the data demands of the AI era from day one, which is why it is chosen by leading AI-native and born-in-the-cloud organizations," Palo Alto Networks Chief Executive Nikesh Arora said. "And once we leverage AgentiX with Chronosphere, we will take observability from simple dashboards to real-time, agentic remediation. We are excited to not just enter this space, but to disrupt it." 



  The deal is expected to close in the second half of Palo Alto's fiscal-year 2026.
