Application threats and vulnerabilities are
secured earlier in the development lifecycle with Prisma Cloud, the industry's most comprehensive
code-to-cloud platform
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Dec. 20,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:
PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced it has
completed its acquisition of Cider Security (Cider), a pioneer in
application security (AppSec) and software supply chain security.
Modern applications are developed rapidly through continuous
integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, but security
at this stage of the application lifecycle is inconsistent, siloed
or worse: simply absent. According to Gartner®, by 2025, 45% of
organizations worldwide will have experienced attacks on their
software supply chains, a three-fold increase from
20211. With the addition of Cider's
cutting-edge capabilities, Palo Alto Networks Prisma® Cloud
platform helps customers "shift security left" to proactively
prevent threats and vulnerabilities before applications are
deployed in production cloud environments.
"We are thrilled to officially welcome Cider Security to
Palo Alto Networks," said Nikesh
Arora, chairman and CEO, Palo Alto Networks. "Cider's
technology provides deep visibility and analysis of the tools and
processes that are being used throughout the application
development lifecycle, resulting in the ability to identify and
remediate critical risks at every step. This is consistent with
Prisma Cloud's shift left security
strategy, as we continue offering innovative solutions that help
protect our customers from emerging threats."
Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud is the industry's most complete
cloud-native application protection platform, revolutionizing how
organizations protect their multicloud environments. In addition to
recently adding Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and Secret
Scanning capabilities to its Cloud-Native Application Protection
Platform (CNAPP), Prisma Cloud's
integration of Cider capabilities will bring security to the
forefront of the development lifecycle that can alert to potential
CI/CD pipeline risks and deliver remediation solutions. With
Prisma Cloud, customers bolster
their ability to build secure applications and improve security
posture, delivered from a single unified platform to secure complex
cloud environments.
