SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo
Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today
announced that Prisma® Cloud, Cortex® XDR™
and Cortex® Data Lake have been added to Palo Alto
Networks Government Cloud Services, which has achieved Federal Risk
and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate
Authorization. Its sponsoring agency is the Federal Housing Finance
Agency (FHFA).
With the latest FedRAMP authorization, Palo Alto Networks is
helping agencies secure their networks, clouds and endpoints
with:
- Prisma Cloud: Delivers cloud
native security and compliance coverage for users, applications and
data across multi-cloud deployments.
- Cortex XDR: Extended detection and response platform that
integrates network, endpoint and cloud data sources to stop the
most sophisticated attacks.
- Cortex Data Lake: Enables cybersecurity innovations by
centralizing security data across hardware firewalls, virtual
firewalls and cloud services.
"As the SolarStorm attack reminds us yet again of the importance
of modernizing cybersecurity, we're thrilled to add three
innovative security products to the FedRAMP Authorized Palo Alto
Networks Government Cloud Services to help customers remain
protected against evolving threats," said Dana Barnes, senior vice president of Public
Sector, Palo Alto Networks. "One of the newly added products is
Cortex XDR, the very solution that protected us from an attempted
SolarStorm attack. As hundreds of U.S. government and defense
agencies trust Palo Alto Networks to safeguard their operations,
data and missions, we're dedicated to delivering the solutions to
meet their needs."
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.
"As FHFA continues to modernize our IT infrastructure to better
serve its mission, cybersecurity is a key focus," said Ralph Mosios, chief information security
officer, FHFA. "Utilizing FedRAMP authorized security services
delivered from the cloud simplifies compliance, speeds up time to
implementation, and provides confidence that data is secure."
Palo Alto Networks cloud-delivered services work together to
consistently protect users and applications wherever they reside.
Thanks to these services, U.S. agencies can safely leverage
automation and elastic scale to swiftly detect, respond to and stop
sophisticated cyberattacks as well as protect data across
endpoints, networks, or hybrid and multi-cloud environments. As a
result, agencies can improve their cyber resilience by accelerating
incident response and making the most of scarce cybersecurity
resources. With this approach, they can better manage the
increasing volume, variety and velocity of cyberattacks.
The FedRAMP milestones that Palo Alto Networks has achieved
complement products that are currently deployed in federal public
cloud environments without the need for FedRAMP authorization.
Government organizations today are implementing Palo Alto Networks
VM-Series Virtual Next-Generation Firewalls and Prisma Cloud
Compute Edition (formerly Twistlock and PureSec), to secure network
traffic and protect hosts, containers and functions across the
application development lifecycle.
