platforms to bring enterprises closer to real-time security
resolution
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., April 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud Next '24,
LAS VEGAS -- Palo Alto
Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, and
Google Cloud today announced the most significant expansion of
their partnership to date. Palo Alto Networks has extended and
increased its commitment to Google Cloud with a ten-figure,
multi-year commitment and named Google Cloud its AI and
infrastructure provider of choice. Google Cloud has long considered
Palo Alto Networks its preferred next-generation firewall (NGFW)
provider, and the expanded agreement solidifies that relationship.
The alliance also underscores the critical importance of
platformization fueled by AI to automate and consolidate multiple
solutions, and deliver near-real-time security resolutions.
The expanded partnership will create customer value as new and
existing workloads are developed and managed with:
- Zero Trust, World-Class Network Security: Palo Alto
Networks Network Security platform with VM Series is embedded into
Google Cloud to enable a Zero Trust Network posture and strengthen
defenses against threats targeting applications, devices, and
users–and it will leverage Cloud Delivered Security Services (CDSS)
offerings. The integrated solution provides protection and
scalability across public cloud and Google Distributed Cloud (GDC)
deployments, even in air-gapped network environments.
- Enhanced AI Capabilities: Palo Alto Networks Cortex
XSIAM, the AI-driven security operations platform for the modern
Security Operations Center (SOC), is built on over a decade of
expertise in machine learning models and the most comprehensive,
rich, and diverse data store in the industry. Backed by Google's
advanced cloud infrastructure and advanced AI services, including
BigQuery and Gemini models, the combination delivers global scale
and near real-time protection across all cybersecurity
offerings.
"As the threat landscape intensifies, organizations are
betting on AI-powered platformization to protect their
most valuable assets," said Nikesh
Arora, President and CEO of Palo Alto Networks. "The
increased depth of Palo Alto Network's partnership with Google
Cloud empowers customers to transform their digital futures without
sacrificing security. We look forward to expanding our footprint
using Google's capabilities to accelerate and deliver AI-driven
cybersecurity advancements."

partners, and we have a long history of delivering solutions that
solve our customers' most complex security challenges," said
Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud.

to help businesses protect against sophisticated threats using
