GEC NEWS WIREPalo Alto Networks expands breach prevention capabilities and boosts operational efficiency
Palo Alto Networks has further enhanced its security platform designed to safely enable applications and prevent cyber breaches. The advancements, which are included in the PAN-OS 7.0 release, expand the prevention capabilities of the platform through enhanced analysis, automation and operational efficiencies – all designed to help customers block threats from compromising their networks, endpoints and cloud-enabled data centers.
Ahead of this global launch, Saeed Agha, General Manager Palo Alto Networks Middle East said: “As the threat landscape grows increasingly complex, many IT security teams struggle to keep pace with advanced threats because they’re overwhelmed by the volume of alerts generated by legacy, point security and threat detection products. There is little analysis or automation that helps quickly identify and automatically prevent threats at the earliest stages of the attack lifecycle.”
The Palo Alto Networks security platform and the new features introduced today help security professionals overcome the inertia caused by the overwhelming volume of alerts and manual processes associated with operating many discrete security products, and, instead, expand breach prevention capabilities and boost operational efficiency.
Key new advancements include a new Automated Correlation Engine that identifies and prevents compromised hosts in an organization’s network by correlating patterns to pinpoint malicious activity; WildFire threat intelligence enhancements, a new high-capacity Network Processing Card and advanced policy management capabilities within Panorama that make it even easier to create security policies and device configurations.
