Prisma SASE's unified capabilities and autonomous digital
experience management uniquely position it to address the market
needs
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Aug. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo
Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader,
announced that it has been recognized as the only Leader in the
inaugural 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Single-Vendor SASE
(secure access service edge), with the highest and furthest
placement for both ability to execute and completeness of
vision.
"Gartner defines single-vendor SASE offerings as those that
deliver multiple converged-network and security-as-a-service
capabilities, such as software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), secure web
gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), network
firewalling and Zero Trust network access (ZTNA). These offerings
use a cloud-centric architecture and are delivered by one
vendor."
To date, other vendor offerings are incomplete, lacking needed
capabilities and integrations. Palo Alto Networks is uniquely
positioned in this space by delivering Prisma® SASE as a
unified solution providing these capabilities along with Autonomous
Digital Experience Management (ADEM). It helps customers
consolidate their fragmented security and networking
infrastructure, and delivers consistent Zero Trust network security
across all locations, applications, and users.

2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Single-Vendor SASE,

Anand Oswal, senior vice
president of Products, Network Security, Palo Alto Networks,
said:
"We believe this recognition is a testament to our
foresight of the market need, which has led to this unique and
credible position for Prisma SASE today. SASE is the convergence of
wide area networking (WAN) and security delivered as a massively
distributed cloud service. Our customers tell us that a unified
approach to SASE is the right approach as it helps them secure
their distributed workforce consistently and drive operational
simplicity. It also unlocks the power of AI/ML at scale to deliver
AI-powered security and helps organizations move from manual and
reactive to predictive and proactive IT operations. That's just not
possible with a patchwork of point solutions."
Ken Ogami, senior vice
president and CIO U.S., Westfield North
America, said:
"Prisma SASE with Zero Trust gave us
the ability to secure our users regardless of their status, what
device they're using, or where they're working from."
Palo Alto Networks is also the only vendor named a Leader in
both the Gartner SSE and Gartner SD-WAN Magic Quadrants. As
organizations around the world adopt cloud and digitize their
operations at an unprecedented pace, SASE has become a critical
component of their transformation and ability to scale their
business. The Gartner Magic Quadrant shares, "We are seeing
increased interest in single-vendor SASE from organizations that
want to simplify their branch technology stacks. It is particularly
compelling for organizations making SD-WAN investments and
extending the project to include firewalling, remote access and
other security capabilities. This trend has expanded to SSE as well
as many buyers will switch from a best-of-breed purchasing motion
to a default position that a single vendor is preferred even if
they aren't best of breed in all areas."
On Nov. 8-9, Palo Alto Networks
will host the third annual SASE Converge, the industry's premier
event for SASE. The virtual event will feature technologists from
across the industry and reveal how SASE powered by advanced AI/ML
is helping customers meet the scale, complexity and speed of a
highly distributed and cloud-first marketplace. Registration begins
Sept. 13.
