Palo Alto Networks recognizes 15+ years of
customer trust with "no-cost" Unit 42 Retainer, expanding its
commitment to being the cybersecurity partner of choice
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Nov. 14,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of customers that
have put their trust in Palo Alto Networks® and
recent heightened threat activity, Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:
PANW) today announced a free and instant Unit
42® Incident Response Retainer to further support
qualified customers at their most critical times.
Unit 42 has handled some of the largest cyberattacks in history
and has deep expertise in responding to challenging cyber risks and
advanced threats, including nation-state attacks, advanced
persistent threats (APTs), and complex ransomware investigations.
The retainer provides customers with their first 250 hours of Unit
42 incident response services, a two-hour response time agreement,
access to Unit 42's incident response team 24/7/365 and threat
intelligence expertise – for free.
Nikesh Arora, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Palo Alto Networks, said:
"Customers have been trusting Palo Alto Networks as their
cybersecurity partner of choice for over 15 years. Today, we are
stepping up our commitment, making sure that our most loyal
customers have leading incident response and threat intelligence
capabilities available exactly when they need them. With the free
and instant Unit 42 Incident Response Retainer, customers have
peace of mind that in the event of an attack, Unit 42 is ready to
respond to reduce operational impact within two
hours."
To put the threat landscape in perspective, there were nearly 70
million records exposed due to data breaches1 in 2005
when Palo Alto Networks was founded; in 2023, there have been 5.4
billion records breached (so far) - a 7,614%
increase.2 The impact of a cyberattack can be
tremendous; 47% of organizations report severe material
impact3, and publicly traded companies suffered an
average decline of 7.5% in their stock values after a data
breach4.
Wendi Whitmore, SVP of Unit
42, Palo Alto Networks, said:
"The scale,
sophistication, and speed of attacks, coupled with the expanding
attack surface, mean protecting your organization is more
challenging than ever. Quick response makes all the difference —
your defenses must outpace the time needed to execute an
attack.
Our newly announced offer allows our customers to leverage
Unit 42's team of expert incident responders — on standby 24/7 — to
quickly investigate, contain, and remediate attacks and ultimately
strengthen their security posture to prevent attacks from
recurring."
