What is Palo Alto Networks?
Palo Alto Networks is a global leader in cybersecurity. They’re known for constantly challenging the status quo in digital security and driving technologies that transform the way people and organizations operate in today's connected environment. Their mission is clear: to protect our virtual lifestyle by preventing cyberattacks.
Their innovative integrated security platform provides protection to tens of thousands of organizations around the world. Their approach is based on constant evolution, combining the latest in security, automation and analytics, across cloud, network and mobile environments.
Today's challenges
Today, cybercriminals are more organized and better resourced; they share tools and automate their attacks. As a result, organizations are facing increasingly sophisticated threats that combine multiple techniques to compromise their technology environments.
The situation is exacerbated by the adoption of modern technologies such as cloud solutions, software as a service (SaaS), BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) strategies, mobility and software-defined networking (SDN), which expand both the attack surface and companies’ exposure.
Enterprise cybersecurity policies
Against this backdrop, many organizations continue to use outdated security solutions and local technologies that solve only specific problems. This fragmented approach limits visibility, creates security gaps and requires constant manual intervention.
Even the most experienced teams can be overwhelmed by the automated and advanced tactics of modern attackers. Adding more staff is not a sustainable solution when working with legacy architectures or isolated technologies.
The key is to have a modern security platform that can natively integrate with the network, share context between systems, provide full visibility and automatically respond to new threats.
Without an effective response, cyber-attacks can result in millions of dollars in losses and sensitive data leaks, as well as affect customer confidence and damage an organization's reputation. That's why it's critical to take a proactive, preventative, and automated approach.
