SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), the global cybersecurity
leader, today announced Cortex XDR and Cortex Data Lake have
achieved the designation of "In Process" for the Federal Risk and
Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). This important
milestone helps U.S. government agencies prevent successful
cyberattacks through automation and empowers them to securely
deploy cloud technologies – in line with Cloud Smart and other IT
modernization initiatives – while protecting legacy
infrastructure.
FedRAMP provides a standardized approach to security assessment,
authorization and continuous monitoring for U.S. government
agencies as they increasingly embrace the cloud and use cloud-based
products and services. This program increases federal agencies'
confidence in the security of cloud technology and helps protect
the confidentiality and integrity of data. Receiving the "In
Process" designation is a key milestone for companies seeking
FedRAMP certification and indicates that Palo Alto Networks is on
track for Cortex XDR and Cortex Data Lake to achieve FedRAMP
"Moderate" agency authorization.
With the latest FedRAMP designations, Palo Alto Networks is
helping agencies secure their networks, clouds and endpoints
with:
- Cortex XDR™: The first cloud-native detection and response
product that integrates network, endpoint and cloud data sources to
stop the most sophisticated attacks.
- Cortex Data Lake™: Enables cybersecurity innovations by
collecting and normalizing security data across a customer's
estate.
- TrapsTM: Provides best-in-class endpoint protection
for malware, exploits and the most sophisticated attacks, which has
received the designation of "In Process."
- WildFireⓇ: The industry's most advanced cloud-based
threat prevention service for zero-day exploits and malware, which
has received Agency Authorization to Operate.
"We are thrilled to achieve the FedRAMP 'In Process' status for
Cortex XDR and Cortex Data Lake and look forward to providing
U.S. agencies with additional cloud-delivered security innovations
in the public cloud that detect, stop and prevent sophisticated
attacks," said Nick Urick, vice
president of Federal Sales for Palo Alto Networks and president of
Palo Alto Networks Public Sector, LLC. "These milestones continue
to signal to the public sector that we are confident in our
cloud-based security and threat prevention capabilities, as well as
our commitment to protecting U.S. federal government missions,
operations and data."
