SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
April 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Palo Alto Networks® (NYSE: PANW), the global cybersecurity
leader, today announced that its advanced endpoint protection
product, Traps™, has received a "Recommended" rating in a recent
independent test conducted by NSS Labs® Inc., the world's leading
information security research and advisory company.
Traps earned a 97.7 percent overall security effectiveness
rating, blocking 100 percent of exploits and 100 percent of
evasions with zero false positives, according to the NSS Labs
Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) Test Report.
The AEP test evaluates product effectiveness at detecting and
eliminating threats from malware, malicious code, blended threats,
and other exploits that are introduced to environments created to
mimic a typical enterprise.
To provide additional validation, the report also calculates the
total cost of ownership (TCO) for each product based on purchase,
maintenance, installation, alerting, monitoring and upkeep costs.
The AEP report identified Traps with the best overall TCO over a
three-year period.
QUOTES:

thousands of our customers already know: Traps is highly effective
in blocking a wide range of threats on the endpoint. The
'Recommended' rating – awarded to us based on leading marks for
effective detection and blocking of malware and exploits with zero
false positives – validates the accuracy of the protection Traps
delivers. The high return on investment for Traps reflects the
ability for incident response teams to save time when accurate
alert information is available."
