SUNNYVALE, Calif, April 25, 2011

For the second year in a row the San Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley Business Journal selected Palo Alto Networks, the network security company, as one of the top 10 "Best Places to Work" in the Bay Area. This distinguished award recognizes companies for exemplary employee satisfaction, as determined by anonymous employee survey results conducted by an independent research agency. Palo Alto Networks was chosen as a leader in employee satisfaction out of the 301 companies from 12 Bay Area counties who participated in this year's survey.

"We work hard to offer opportunity for our employees, and embrace the spirit of innovation in all that we do," said Jean Lea, interim vice president of Human Resources at Palo Alto Networks. "The Best Place to Work recognition given to Palo Alto Networks is an honor. As a young and exceptionally fast-growth company, we are highly focused on establishing a reputation in our industry as being 'the place to work'," she said.

Since its founding in 2005, Palo Alto Networks has grown from a stealth-mode startup to one of the fastest-growing companies in the security industry. To learn more about employment opportunities at the company, visit http://www.paloaltonetworks.com/company/careers.html.
