PwC and Palo Alto Networks announce an expanded partnership strengthening cybersecurity defences for New Zealand businesses. 

Palo Alto Networks has launched updates to Prisma Cloud, the company’s cloud security posture management (CSPM) solution.

 “We are making it significantly simpler for companies to adopt complete Zero Trust Network Security.”

The new capabilities also increase automation and detection, simplify compliance checks, and deepen visibility into malware threats for containers and hosts, the company states.

The group will help enterprises respond to emerging threats as they navigate an increase in costly, crippling cyberattacks.

This latest launch brings a significant set of enhancements, incentives and training to the company’s NextWave Partner Program.

"We’re working with more organisations to pivot their security architecture and move towards a cloud-delivered security model that can safely connect any user, to any application, from anywhere.”

"Palo Alto Networks IoT Security is designed to ensure Healthcare Delivery Organisations can realise the benefits of IoT for patient care — without sacrificing security."

The move will allow regional organisations in Australia to utilise several of Palo Alto’s high-performance solutions, as well as enabling these organisations to store their logs within Australian borders, the company says.

"By integrating Expanse's attack surface management capabilities into Cortex after closing, we will be able to offer the first solution that combines the outside view of an organisation's attack surface with an inside view to proactively address all security threats."

The Awards recognise partners whose business models have adapted to customers' needs and delivered excellence.

"As a single centralised cloud service, Palo Alto Networks Enterprise DLP can be deployed across an entire large enterprise in minutes with no need for additional infrastructure."

“Together, PwC and Palo Alto Networks offer a service designed to address and solve customer cybersecurity pain points particularly as the market demands new ways to detect and respond to threats.”

The solution helps protect sensitive data at rest and in motion across every network, cloud and user access.

The pair will deliver managed detection and response (MDR) services to joint customers, with the offering combining MDR services from both companies.

Palo Alto Networks has announced the availability of Prisma Cloud 2.0, including four new cloud security modules, thus extending its Cloud Native Security Platform (CNSP).

Palo Alto Networks has introduced two new SD-WAN appliances and enhancements to its next-generation SD-WAN solution, expanding the company’s CloudGenix SD-WAN solutions reach.

The agreement means BT becomes the first global provider to offer a fully managed Zoom Meetings service featuring a choice of connectivity and integration with its global voice network. 

BT says the decision to review their security partner base was driven by the recognition that many customers find it difficult to navigate today’s complex security landscape, as well as customers’ desire to have a ‘leaner set of partners’.

A new report from Canalys indicates investment in cybersecurity has increased 9.7% - but worsening economic conditions could turn the statistic around.

“The combination of Cortex XSOAR’s powerful orchestration and automation capabilities with the rich network history recorded by the EndaceProbe Analytics Platform gives security operations access to the conclusive forensic evidence they need to respond quickly and accurately to threats.”

Among the most disturbing discoveries: 98% of all IoT device traffic is unencrypted, exposing personal and confidential data on relevant networks.

Bonvanie is the executive vice president of strategic accounts at Palo Alto Networks and has been a member of the Acronis Board of Directors since 2014.

Datacom will offer 8x8’s platform alongside other UC vendors, particularly as the market towards Unified Communications as-a-Service (UCaaS) solutions.
