SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) today introduced the
industry's only Next-Generation CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker)
— raising the bar in SaaS security to accommodate today's hybrid
work tools.
As SaaS applications, especially modern collaboration tools,
power a rapidly expanding hybrid workforce, security teams
are struggling to stay secure. Legacy SaaS security solutions focus
on compliance, not security, and were built when the universe of
apps was much smaller and more predictable — leaving many of
today's go-to tools without adequate protections. Palo Alto
Networks Next-Generation CASB helps organizations enable the safe
adoption of SaaS by automatically securing new applications,
accurately protecting sensitive data in real time, and stopping
known and unknown threats with best-in-class threat detection and
prevention.
"SaaS applications have become far too important and popular for
a superficial approach to security," said Anand Oswal, senior vice president of Network
Security for Palo Alto Networks. "In addition, while collaboration
apps are now the lifeblood of hybrid and remote workforces'
productivity, traditional SaaS security has not focused on these
apps or kept up with this change. Palo Alto Networks new
Next-Generation CASB solves this using the latest technologies such
as machine learning and natural language processing to find new
apps and watch for potential security issues — giving organizations
a modern, spectacular CASB designed for today's SaaS
environment."
Palo Alto Networks has fully integrated the Next-Generation CASB
into the industry's most complete SASE solution, Prisma®
SASE, and into all form factors of the company's leading
Next-Generation Firewalls to provide the following benefits:
- See and secure thousands of SaaS applications automatically —
this includes support for the industry's largest number of
unsanctioned, tolerated and sanctioned apps, including
collaboration apps.
- Accurately protect sensitive data in real time, thanks to the
industry's most comprehensive cloud-delivered enterprise DLP, now
with machine learning (ML), advanced optical character recognition
(OCR) and natural language processing (NLP).
- Help stop known, unknown and zero-day threats with the
industry's most complete cloud-delivered security platform,
leveraging 15 years of innovation in malware analysis and
prevention.
"Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation CASB represents an updated
approach to cloud access security brokers (CASB), designed to align
with changing enterprise needs," said ESG Senior Analyst
John Grady. "Through
integrations with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE and
Next-Generation Firewalls, Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation CASB
provides a simpler and more cost- effective approach to CASB, while
maintaining the broad application visibility and accurate threat
and content inspection organizations require to secure the usage of
cloud applications."
Availability
Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation CASB
is available now for Next-Generation Firewalls, and will be
available through Prisma Access in January
2022.
