Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced it has completed its acquisition of Demisto, a leading cybersecurity company specializing in security orchestration, automation and response, or SOAR. The acquisition accelerates Palo Alto Networks Cortex™ AI-based continuous security platform strategy and further advances the company’s ability to deliver automated threat prevention and response for security teams.

Palo Alto Networks already provides a broad security offering for multi-cloud environments with inline, host-based, and API-based security, which was bolstered by the acquisition of Evident.io in March 2018. By combining the Evident and RedLock technologies, we will provide customers with cloud security analytics, advanced threat detection, continuous security, and compliance monitoring in a single offering anticipated early next year. We expect that the new offering will help security teams respond faster to the most critical threats by replacing manual investigations with automated, real-time remediation and reports that highlight an organization’s cloud risks.

Palo Alto Networks has completed the acquisition of Israel-based Secdo, which brings sophisticated endpoint detection and response, or EDR, capabilities - including unique data collection and visualization - to Palo Alto Networks TrapsTM advanced endpoint protection and the Application Framework in order to enhance their ability to rapidly detect and stop even the stealthiest attacks. Once integrated with Traps and the Palo Alto Networks platform, this rich data will feed into the Logging Service and give applications running in the Palo Alto Networks Application Framework greater precision to visualize, detect and stop cyberattacks.

Palo Alto Networks has established itself as the leader in cloud security through the unique combination of its VM-Series virtualized next-generation firewalls for inline cloud security, API-based security for public cloud services infrastructure, and Traps for host-based protections. Evident.io extends the Palo Alto Networks API-based security capabilities, and helps cloud practitioners ensure their deployments are secure and achieve a continuous state of compliance, by analyzing the configurations of all the services and account settings against strict security and compliance controls. Once integrated with the Palo Alto Networks cloud security offering, customers will be able to use a single approach to continuous monitoring, storage security, and compliance validation and reporting. This will give security, DevOps and compliance teams unique capabilities to confidently develop and deploy new applications in the cloud faster, simplify developer and security operations to speed deployments without sacrificing security, and continuously validate compliance of cloud deployments.
