SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
May 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) today announced
Prisma™, a new cloud security suite designed to help its customers
lead a more secure digital life. The world needs cloud security
that is simpler, more secure, and more complete than ever before.
It's the new benchmark in cloud security, transforming the cloud
journey by simplifying access, data protection, and application
security. Prisma builds on the tremendous success of Palo Alto
Networks cloud security products and delivers new experiences only
possible with the Prisma suite. With approximately 9,000 enterprise
customers, Prisma has quickly become the largest cloud security
business in the world.
"Our approach to cloud security is aimed at delivering the best
security while embracing the unique needs of the cloud. We provide
customers with complete visibility as well as recommended
configurations across their entire cloud environment to ensure a
strong security posture from the start and consistently prevent
attacks," said Lee Klarich, chief
product officer at Palo Alto Networks. "With Prisma, organizations
can securely connect office branches and mobile users to the cloud,
confidently embrace the use of SaaS applications, and rapidly
develop and deploy cloud applications."
Prisma Delivers What Customers Need
Prisma gives customers what they need to consistently govern
access, protect data, and secure applications. The suite consists
of four key components:
- Prisma Access1 secures
access to the cloud for branch offices and mobile users
anywhere in the world with a scalable, cloud-native architecture,
blending enterprise-grade security with a globally scalable
network. It will soon run on Google Cloud Platform (GCP™),
extending the service to more than 100 locations for an even faster
and more localized experience. Customers will also have access to a
streamlined cloud management user interface (UI) that enables rapid
onboarding of branches and users. In addition, Prisma Access will
include capabilities specifically designed for service providers to
enable the rapid provisioning of secure outbound internet
connectivity for their customers.
- Prisma Public
Cloud2 provides
continuous visibility, security, and compliance monitoring across
public multi-cloud deployments. Powered by machine learning, it
correlates data and assesses risk across the cloud environment.
Starting today, customers can further reduce their attack surface
early in the development cycle through a "shift left" approach
to security. With the ability to detect vulnerabilities and fix
improper configurations in customers' infrastructure-as-code
templates, developers can reduce risk without sacrificing
agility.
- Prisma
SaaS3 is a multi-mode
cloud access security broker (CASB) service that safely enables
SaaS application adoption. It provides advanced capabilities in
risk discovery, adaptive access control, data loss prevention,
compliance assurance, data governance, user behavior monitoring,
and advanced threat prevention. New integrations will bring
improved administration experience across IT-sanctioned and
IT-unsanctioned SaaS applications with unified visibility and
management.
- VM-Series is the virtualized form factor of the
Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall that can be deployed in
private and public cloud computing environments, including Amazon
Web Services (AWS®), GCP, Microsoft Azure®,
Oracle Cloud®, Alibaba
Cloud®, and VMware NSX®. The VM-Series
is also enhanced through infrastructure-as-code automation for
deployment and configuration, which reduces complexity for
customers.
Prisma Access, Prisma Public
Cloud, Prisma SaaS, and the
VM-Series are all available now. For organizations interested in
