SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
March 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), the global cybersecurity
leader, today announced that Zingbox® IoT Guardian, its IoT
security product, has secured the designation of "In Process" for
the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).
This important milestone will allow Palo Alto Networks to help U.S.
government agencies discover, secure and optimize connected
internet of things (IoT) devices.
Zingbox IoT Guardian seamlessly extends IT best practices to
connected devices with automated orchestration across the full IoT
lifecycle. Zingbox can help agencies identify, onboard, secure,
manage, optimize and retire non-traditional edge devices — an
increasingly complex process with the explosion of IoT devices.
"We are thrilled that Zingbox has secured the designation of 'In
Process' with FedRAMP," said Nick
Urick, vice president of Federal Sales for Palo Alto
Networks and president of Palo Alto Networks Public Sector LLC.
"Hundreds of U.S. government agencies trust Palo Alto Networks'
cloud security services to safeguard their operations. Zingbox, our
IoT security product, will help extend our public cloud
management and security tools to the growing number of connected
devices."
As the U.S. government increasingly embraces the cloud, the
FedRAMP certification process provides assurance in the security of
cloud-based products and services to government agencies through a
standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and
continuous monitoring. Achieving the designation of "In Process" is
a key milestone for companies seeking FedRAMP certification and
indicates that Palo Alto Networks is on track for Zingbox to
achieve FedRAMP "Moderate" agency approval.
The FedRAMP milestones that Palo Alto Networks has achieved
complement the existing products that are currently deployed in
federal public cloud environments. Government organizations today
are implementing Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Virtualized
Next-Generation Firewalls and Prisma Cloud Compute Edition
(formerly Twistlock and PureSec), part of Prisma Cloud, to secure network traffic, protect
containers and help enable secure serverless deployments. Palo Alto
Networks cloud-delivered services work together to consistently
protect users and applications wherever they reside. U.S. agencies
can safely leverage automation and elastic scale to swiftly detect,
respond to and stop sophisticated cyberattacks as well as protect
data across endpoints, networks or hybrid and multi-cloud
environments. As a result, agencies can improve their cyber
resilience by accelerating incident response and making the most of
scarce cybersecurity resources. With this approach, they can better
manage the increasing volume, variety and velocity of
cyberattacks.
