Palo Alto Networks Introduces Okyo Garde -- Enterprise-Grade Cybersecurity for Work-From-Home Employees and Small BusinessesSANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced Okyo™ Garde, an enterprise-grade cybersecurity solution delivered through a premium mesh-enabled Wi-Fi 6 system — addressing the risks of a world in which the workplace is as likely to be a kitchen table or spare bedroom as an office cubicle. Okyo Garde combines hardware, software and security services into one seamless, simple subscription. "As the world moved to remote work a year and a half ago, it became clear that cybersecurity would need to follow workers home. We quickly and quietly assembled a team of some of the best consumer tech engineers and put them together with the exceptional teams who built Palo Alto Networks top security products. The result is Okyo Garde. It shows up as beautiful hardware and an easy app. But under the hood, it's pure world-class security with constantly updated threat intelligence — the same technology that secures some of the world's largest companies, banks, hospitals and the rest of our 85,000 worldwide customers," said Mario Queiroz, executive vice president, Palo Alto Networks. Okyo Garde for Work-From-Home Employees For larger companies looking to protect employees who are working from home, Okyo Garde will be integrating with Prisma® Access, Palo Alto Networks' cloud-delivered security platform. By combining Okyo Garde and Prisma Access, corporations will be able to extend their corporate networks and bring unified security policy management and SASE (secure access service edge) to work-from-home employees, while offering employees a premium Wi-Fi experience in a beautiful package. The work-from-home employee can also use Okyo Garde to enable an additional separate, private Wi-Fi network for the rest of their home and family's needs. This network will also have advanced security capabilities designed for consumers and will be solely under the control of the employee or other family members. Okyo Garde for Small Businesses "The changing nature of work from home is transforming the home network into a new, unmanaged enterprise edge," said Zeus Kerravala, founder and principal analyst, ZK Research. "Securing and managing the home as a branch extension of the enterprise network, at scale requires a new security, neworking, and management paradigm. An approach that delivers enterprise-grade cybersecurity with consumer simplicity and is built upon the principles of Zero Trust." With Okyo Garde, enterprises, small businesses and work-at-home employees can all have world-class security and be ready for what comes next.
