Palo Alto Networks & Tanium to automate & accelerate threat detection
Palo Alto Networks and Tanium have formed a strategic alliance which will transform the effectiveness , accuracy, and speed by which large, distributed organizations prevent, detect, and respond to today’s cyberthreats.
Saeed Agha, General Manager Middle East, Palo Alto Networks commented, “Given the speed and sophistication of modern cyberattacks, integrated and automated prevention technologies are of the utmost essence.”
Palo Alto Networks is delivering a natively integrated platform that brings breach prevention capabilities across distributed networks, including mobile devices and cloud-based services. Initial efforts of the alliance will be focused on the integration of Tanium with Palo Alto Networks WildFire, its cloud-based threat prevention service that automatically detects unknown, malicious activity and quickly prevents threats before an enterprise is compromised. WildFire is an integral part of the Palo Alto Networks security platform that also includes the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall, Threat Intelligence Cloud, and Traps Advanced Endpoint Protection.
“We are pleased to be teaming with Tanium to fundamentally change the game for adversaries, arming security organizations with innovative new tools to go on the offensive and quickly prevent, detect, and respond to attacks before damage is done” said Chad Kinzelberg, SVP of business and corporate development at Palo Alto Networks.
Orion Hindawi, Co-founder, President and CTO of Tanium said, “Our first integration provides a level of automation, access, and control that security teams of large, global organizations have never had before—at a time when new ways to defend against security attacks has elevated to a board level discussion.”
Tanium and Palo Alto Networks will be showcasing the integrated solution at Black Hat 2015.
