Securing the modern connected organization requires an integrated, unified approach. To do this, security needs to be deployed and managed holistically through a platform with each component, working together seamlessly and leveraging the power of AI to stay ahead of rapidly evolving threats. Al drives tangible customer outcomes at scale, but requires massive amounts of threat data from various sources that can only be collected through a robust infrastructure deployed globally. Of more than 8.6 billion attacks that Palo Alto Networks prevents across our customer base daily, more than 1.5 million are new and unique cyberattacks.
Current approaches to network security can’t adequately secure modern organizations with the lack of predictive, actionable insights and integration across security tools, which leads to security gaps, inconsistent policies and poor operational experiences. A unified security platform should offer complete visibility and greater operational efficiencies to users.
