NEW YORK, July 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte has just
formed a strategic alliance with global cybersecurity leader Palo
Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) to deliver integrated,
end-to-end Zero Trust and multi-cloud cybersecurity solutions to
their mutual enterprise and government customers. Deloitte is
ranked No. 1 in security consulting services by revenue in the
Gartner Market Share report.
The alliance brings together Deloitte's award-winning cyber risk
consulting services and Palo Alto Networks' platform security
capabilities to deliver broad solutions designed to help customers
simplify complex security infrastructure while increasing speed and
agility, enabling them to protect their most important digital
initiatives and realize the full value of their cybersecurity
investments.
Migration to the cloud and the need to expand beyond
perimeter-based security models to protect applications, data,
networks, and devices for distributed workforces are parts of the
digital transformation many organizations are pursuing to stay
innovative and agile. Similarly, organizations are adopting more
flexible, integrated security solutions that simplify complex,
costly security architectures and provide data-driven,
identity-aware visibility across the attack surface.
Per ESG's "The State of Zero-trust Security
Strategies," by ESG Senior Analyst John Grady, April
13, 2021, "Zero-trust approaches are arguably more
relevant than ever due to the increasingly distributed nature of
the modern enterprise. Whether implementing least-privilege
tenets for user access or securing the connections to and between
the disparate aspects of today's hybrid multi-cloud deployments,
zero trust can provide a framework to secure even the most complex
environments. The sudden shift to work-from-home models has only
highlighted the importance of a zero-trust approach."
Deloitte and Palo Alto Networks have jointly developed solutions
that Deloitte will deliver to mutual customers via its Zero Trust
and cloud security orchestration automation and response services.
The alliance combines Deloitte's integrative, risk- and
change-management capabilities with Palo Alto Networks'
market-leading cybersecurity platform technologies, with an initial
focus on serving the public sector, critical infrastructure,
financial services, healthcare, life sciences, telecommunications
and media industries.
The solutions and their benefits include:
- Zero Trust Enablement: Deloitte's Zero Trust offering
encompasses cyber assessment, strategy, design, configuration and
integration services that align to leading Zero Trust principles.
The offering will leverage Palo Alto Networks' broad portfolio of
security technologies to accelerate organizations' adoption of Zero
Trust, including identity management to enhance context-aware
policy decisions across on-premises, hybrid and private/public
cloud environments. From our joint experience, alignment to
Deloitte's Zero Trust Framework leveraging the Palo Alto Networks
security portfolio can deliver tangible benefits such as the
potential for up to a 40% reduction in security compliance
costs, 80% decrease in dwell time (time to detect, respond and
remediate), and lowered customers' total cost of ownership by
35%.
- Cloud Security Automation and Orchestration: Deloitte's
Cloud Security offering combines Palo Alto Networks Prisma®
Cloud, the industry's only comprehensive Cloud Native Security
Platform, and Cortex® XSOAR, the market-leading extended security
orchestration, automation and response platform, with Deloitte's
cloud security controls framework and library of cloud security use
cases. Customers can build automated preventive, detective and
corrective controls across the spectrum of cyber risk domains,
embedding security into the fabric of their cloud deployment and
delivering cloud security services in an innovative, unified and
rapid approach. This can help reduce customers' cloud risk windows
from minutes or hours to near-real time while reducing the
complexity and cost of compliance.
"Organization-wide digital transformation demands highly
coordinated, strategic and holistic change management to realize
success. Taking a proactive approach to cyber risk management
by embedding security into the fabric of digital initiatives —
often through adoption of Zero Trust, automation and orchestration
— enables that change in a risk-aware fashion, identifying and
addressing security gaps early in the process instead of waiting
for trouble to arise. Together, Deloitte and Palo Alto
Networks will assist our clients in achieving their digital
business goals while building secure, resilient enterprises." said
Kieran Norton, Deloitte Risk & Financial
Advisory infrastructure solution leader and principal,
Deloitte & Touche LLP.
"Zero Trust and cloud adoption are both journeys that Deloitte
and Palo Alto Networks are exceptionally equipped to address for
our customers. Deloitte has deep experience supporting major
digital transformations, while Palo Alto Networks' integrated
cybersecurity platform of network, cloud and threat capabilities
addresses the attack surface holistically, providing secure access
anywhere, and driving visibility and compliance across the
infrastructure and the cloud," said Prem
Iyer, vice president of Ecosystems, Global Systems
Integrators, Palo Alto Networks.
Deloitte's and Palo Alto Networks' integrated Zero Trust
enablement and cloud security automation and orchestration
solutions are currently available in the U.S.
