"Palo Alto Networks differentiates with
security, AI, and operations"
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo
Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader,
announced today it has been positioned as a leader in the inaugural
Forrester Wave™: Zero Trust Edge Solutions, Q3 2023 report.
According to Forrester, Zero Trust Edge (ZTE), also known as secure
access service edge (SASE), centralizes multiple networking and
security capabilities — such as software-defined WAN (SD-WAN),
cloud access security broker (CASB), Zero Trust network access
(ZTNA), and secure web gateway (SWG) — into a unified solution.
According to the evaluation: "[Palo Alto Networks'] outstanding
strategy aligns strongly to ZTE and features AI and AIOps to
increase detection and decrease the chance of misconfiguration.
While its peers have digital experience management on their forward
roadmaps, Palo Alto Networks delivers it now." The Forrester
evaluation asserts the company "has one of the few unified,
integrated management portals for both networking and security in
this evaluation" and "has strong ZTNA capabilities and recently
refactored its SWG to include an AI inspection layer."

said:
"We are proud to be recognized. To us, this
acknowledgement is for our superior cloud-delivered ZTNA 2.0
security, next-generation SD-WAN, and AI-powered IT operations from
a single unified platform. We believe this recognition is a
testament to our comprehensive approach to SASE and Zero Trust,
ensuring our customers are prepared to meet the scale, complexity,
and speed of a highly distributed and cloud-first world."
Organizations can lower their risk of a breach with an
integrated SASE solution that protects against the latest network
threats, while enabling full employee productivity and cloud
adoption. Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE consolidates multiple
capabilities, including ZTNA 2.0, Cloud SWG, NG-CASB, FWaaS, SD-WAN
and ADEM, into a single integrated service, reducing network and
security complexity while increasing organizational agility.
Moreover it empowers organizations to harness the power of AI and
unlock the full potential of data with a unified platform
approach.
In March, Palo Alto Networks announced AI-powered SASE
innovations to enable organizations to automate their increasingly
complex IT and network operations center (NOC) functions,
including:
- AI-powered Autonomous Digital Experience Management
(ADEM) to help organizations proactively remediate issues that
can cause service interruption, through AI-based problem detection
and predictive analytics, by discovering network anomalies and
isolating issues simply and quickly through an easy-to-use query
interface and single dashboard.
- SD-WAN innovations to extend Zero Trust to the branch of the
future, like Prisma SD-WAN Command Center, enabling
organizations to simplify management, get consistent visibility and
leverage AI/ML for smarter decision-making.
- AI-powered phishing prevention with Cloud Secure Web
Gateway (SWG), leveraging agent-based explicit proxy support and
