MUNICH, March 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks
(NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, has been
recognised by the German Federal Office for Information Security
(BSI) as a qualified Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) response
service provider to government institutions and operators of
critical infrastructure.
The BSI listing is recognition of Palo Alto Networks
industry-leading incident response (IR) capabilities, which
combines world-renowned threat researchers with an elite team of
security consultants that take an intelligence-driven approach to
identify risks, eradicate threats, and effectively manage security
incidents.
"Receiving recognition from the BSI as one of the few qualified
Advanced Persistent Threat response providers is a testament to the
excellence of our teams, technology, and unwavering commitment to
our customers across Germany,
Europe and beyond," said
Helmut Reisinger, CEO EMEA and LATAM
for Palo Alto Networks. "Our industry-leading Unit 42 Threat
Intelligence and Incident Response teams, as well as our unique
AI-powered cyber security platforms, enable governments and
enterprises to defend against the most sophisticated threats, while

providers to critical infrastructure operators and government
institutions, helping them find certified partners to mitigate the
threats and risks that security teams face in response to a growing

Palo Alto Networks is included in the BSI list after passing the
two-stage evaluation. The company's operations and incident
response offerings were first analysed regarding their ability to
meet and exceed the high standards mandated as a bar for entry.
This was followed by a series of interviews and tabletop exercises
based on hypothetical scenarios to put the Palo Alto Networks teams
through their paces.

consultants with backgrounds in public and private sectors who have
handled some of the largest cyberattacks in history. They manage
