| New capabilities for backups and cloud data platforms | Comprehensive data and asset security with new DSPM capabilities for both backups and cloud data platforms. New Backup Security Posture Management (BSPM) automatically discovers and analyzes backups to identify sensitive data and security risks, while our new Databricks integration delivers enhanced visibility to protect data, configurations, and data flows.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| Unified AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM)       | New unified AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) streamlines AI security from development to production. Cortex Cloud creates an AI Bill of Materials (AI BoM) to identify vulnerabilities in AI software and development dependencies, while also providing deep visibility into AI agents, datasets, and platforms like Azure AI Search. The central AI-SPM dashboard brings together all AI posture and threat detection for a single, comprehensive view.                                                                                                                                                                                                            |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cloud-posture-management-rn/cortex-cloud-posture-management-release-information/features-introduced-in-2025-cloud/november-2025/release-highlights.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
