Announcements

Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Expanse Inc., a leader in attack surface management. As companies embark on digital transformation, they often leave critical IT assets exposed to the internet, creating vulnerable points that attackers can exploit. This exposure has only accelerated with the rapid shift to the cloud and remote working. Expanse’s internet collection and attribution platform constantly monitors the global internet to map exposed and untracked assets that comprise customers’ attack surfaces, evaluate and prioritize risk, and provide mitigation. Expanse’s data provides CISOs with a view of the enterprise from the outside, representing the view an attacker sees as they probe for points of weakness. Once combined, the Expanse platform will significantly enrich the Cortex™ product suite and create the ability to stitch together external, internal and threat data to provide organizations with a complete, integrated view of the enterprise.

Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, announced it has completed its acquisition of The Crypsis Group, a leading incident response, risk management and digital forensics consulting firm. Palo Alto Networks already provides best-in-class prevention, detection and response capabilities through Cortex XDR™. The integration of The Crypsis Group’s security consulting and forensics capabilities will strengthen Cortex XDR's ability to collect rich security telemetry, manage breaches and initiate rapid response actions. In addition, Palo Alto Networks can now provide incident response and forensic consulting capabilities at scale.

Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, has completed its acquisition of CloudGenix Inc., an industry-leading cloud-delivered SD-WAN provider. The acquisition will further strengthen Palo Alto Networks comprehensive secure access service edge (SASE) platform. Palo Alto Networks Prisma™ Access is the industry’s most comprehensive SASE platform, delivering a global cloud network with cloud-delivered security that’s ready for today’s highly distributed environments. With the integration of CloudGenix’s cloud-managed SD-WAN solutions, Palo Alto Networks will accelerate the intelligent onboarding of remote branches and retail stores into Prisma Access, in turn accelerating the shift from SD-WAN to SASE across its customer base.

Palo Alto Networks has completed its acquisition of Aporeto Inc., a machine identity-based microsegmentation company. The acquisition will further strengthen Palo Alto Networks Cloud Native Security Platform delivered by Prisma™ Cloud. Palo Alto Networks provides the most complete cloud security suite in the industry, with a broad set of capabilities in all critical areas of cloud security. With the addition of Aporeto, Palo Alto Networks will add the ability to identify workloads and apply microsegmentation across all infrastructures, helping customers secure their applications at scale.

Palo Alto Networks has completed its acquisition of Zingbox, an IoT cybersecurity company. The acquisition will accelerate Palo Alto Networks delivery of IoT security through its Next-Generation Firewall and Cortex™ platforms. Zingbox’s cloud-based service uses AI and machine learning technologies to help organizations discover, identify, secure and optimize connected devices. With the addition of Zingbox, Palo Alto Networks will offer customers IoT security with best-in-class visibility and automated in-line prevention.

The addition of Twistlock’s and PureSec’s capabilities will extend Palo Alto Networks ability to address the most critical areas of cloud security for customers. These acquisitions will bring Twistlock’s leading container security and PureSec’s innovative serverless security to Palo Alto Networks new Prisma cloud security suite. Used by approximately 9,000 customers worldwide, Prisma helps enable a secure journey to the cloud. With the additions of Twistlock and PureSec, Palo Alto Networks will be uniquely positioned to secure today’s modern applications throughout the entire life cycle, enabling organizations to deliver innovations that are secure, reliable, and scalable.

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.
