Palo Alto Networks will migrate key internal workloads to Google Cloud as part of a new multibillion-dollar agreement, the companies announced on Friday.

The companies said the deal is an expansion of their existing strategic partnership and will deepen their engineering collaboration.

Palo Alto Networks is now using Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence models to power its copilots, and it is also using Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, according to a release.

“Every board is asking how to harness AI’s power without exposing the business to new threats,” BJ Jenkins, president of Palo Alto Networks, said in a statement. “This partnership answers that question.”

Palo Alto Networks, which offers a range of cybersecurity products, already has more than 75 joint integrations with Google Cloud and has completed $2 billion in sales through the Google Cloud Marketplace.

As part of the new phase of the partnership, Palo Alto Networks customers will be able to protect live AI workloads and data on Google Cloud, maintain security policies, accelerate Google Cloud adoption and simplify and unify their security solutions, the companies said.

Shares of Palo Alto Networks were up 1% on Friday. Google shares were mostly flat.

“This latest expansion of our partnership will ensure that our joint customers have access to the right solutions to secure their most critical AI infrastructure and develop new AI agents with security built in from the start,” Google Cloud President Matt Renner said in a statement.

Oracle‘s stock jumped 7% Friday after the cloud provider joined a group of investors slated to lead TikTok‘s U.S. operations.

In a memo to employees Thursday, CEO Shou Zi Chew said the social media company’s U.S. division will be run by a joint venture that includes Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX. The deal is expected to close on Jan. 22.

The agreement prevents the popular social platform from getting banned after President Joe Biden signed a law requiring a divestiture of the company’s U.S. unit due to national security concerns.

President Donald Trump extended the deadline for a deal on multiple occasions and signed an executive order in September that approved a potential plan for China-based ByteDance to divest.

Oracle will be tasked with auditing and validating that TikTok follows “agreed upon National Security Terms,” according to the memo.

The company’s cloud-based computing centers will also house sensitive U.S. data.

For Oracle, the deal comes at the end of what has been a chaotic 2025 for the cloud provider.

Earlier this week, shares slumped on a report that talks over a $10 billion datacenter deal with Blue Owl Capital had reached a standstill. That exacerbated concerns over the massive — and potentially risky — funding plans behind the artificial intelligence data center buildout.

Oracle shares are up 8% this year and have pulled back more than 20% over the last month.

China has not publicly confirmed the investment deal, but reports in Chinese state media suggest that the deal will go through, CNBC’s Eunice Yoon said. State-run media reported comments from a pro-Beijing professor, who said the deal was in-line with the country’s laws and is “not a sale of the algorithm.
