Palo Alto Networks Expands Breach Prevention Capabilities And Boosts Operational Efficiency For Security TeamsSANTA CLARA, Calif., June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), the leader in enterprise security, today announced enhancements to its industry-leading security platform designed to safely enable applications and prevent cyber breaches. The advancements announced today, 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. 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:
In addition to the more than 70 feature enhancements in PAN-OS 7.0, Palo Alto Networks is introducing today a new Panorama M-500 management appliance that is ideally suited for data centers and the largest enterprise deployments. Additionally, VM-series is now available directly from Amazon's AWS marketplace supporting usage-based pricing on a per-hour or per-year basis. Application Command Center enhancements also enrich the visualization of network traffic and shorten response time to threats, thanks to a highly interactive and customizable dashboard that provides easily understood, actionable information.
