SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), the global
cybersecurity leader, and Google Cloud today announced Cloud IDS
(Intrusion Detection System), a jointly developed network threat
detection service to help cloud customers solve critical network
security challenges.
Built with Palo Alto Networks' industry-leading threat detection
technologies, Cloud IDS provides simple, managed, cloud native
network-based threat detection — offering Google Cloud customers
the highest levels of security efficacy in just a few clicks. The
new service is the result of a year-long joint design and
engineering effort between Google and Palo Alto Networks, focused
on combining the best-in-class security of Palo Alto Networks with
the simplicity and secure and scalable infrastructure of Google
Cloud.
"Businesses are betting on the cloud for their most important
initiatives, and one of the most fundamental factors to their
success will be security," said Nikesh
Arora, chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks. "We've had a
tremendous strategic partnership with Google over the past three
years that helps ensure that our joint customers can have a simple,
secure journey to the cloud. This service takes that to new
levels."
"Customers demand uncompromising security that is simple to
deploy and easy to manage. We built Cloud IDS to address these
requirements, by bringing together Palo Alto Networks best-in-class
security with Google's secure and scalable infrastructure," said
Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud.
"This is one of the many ways Google Cloud and Palo Alto Networks
are partnering together to deliver solutions that solve our
customers' security challenges."
Until now, detecting threats has been a significant hurdle for
cloud network security teams, leading to security policy compliance
challenges and blind spots for the security operations center. For
organizations that want an easy path to network threat detection,
Cloud IDS is a simple to set up, simple to deploy way to gain deep
insight into network-based threats and support industry-specific
security compliance goals. For more information, see the Palo Alto
Networks and Google Cloud blog posts.
Since 2018, Google Cloud and Palo Alto Networks have partnered
to protect customers' applications and data as they migrate to the
cloud while making that experience as seamless as possible. In
2018, the Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Virtual Next-Generation
Firewall (NGFW) was first supported on Google Cloud; since then,
Palo Alto Networks and Google have built numerous product
integrations, including those between Cortex® XSOAR, the
VM-Series, Google Cloud Security Command Center, Chronicle and the
Google Cloud Network Connectivity Center. The companies have also
produced a joint security reference architecture to help customers
secure their Google Cloud environments using best practices. In
addition, this week Palo Alto Networks was named 2021 Google Cloud
Technology Partner of the Year, a title Palo Alto Networks has been
given for three years running.
