Increasingly, security conscious enterprises are turning to platformization to drive better security outcomes and simplify operations.
Smartphones, cloud, remote work, and now AI, all bring complexity to information security, yet they must be enabled to support today's workforce and gain a competitive edge.
Each product collects its own siloed data, and stitching that data together into a comprehensive view of your security requires a level of expertise and resourcing that is beyond what most enterprises could ever hope to achieve.
First, every product or service consolidated into the platform must be as good or better than the corresponding point products available in that space.
Adopting a platform can never mean sacrificing security efficacy for simplified management or vendor consolidation.
Next, the platform must be modular, allowing your organization to grow into the use of the platform over time.
Wholesale replacements of many different security products at the same time is more complicated than most organizations would want to take on.
A platform must be adoptable in whole or in parts, without losing its ability to meet the complete need of the use cases being considered.
Finally, the platform must also enable native platform integrations that make each component even stronger than it would be on its own.
If you're evaluating a platform for network security, and that platform offers numerous services to protect against different types of advanced threats, visibility into where and how you're stopping each threat should be consolidated and reported centrally.
This has driven the development of three platforms leveraging Precision AI®, collectively providing a holistic approach to cybersecurity throughout the enterprise.
Strata is our network security platform that simplifies operations, consistently enforces security policies, and protects against advanced threats with one unified platform.
Prisma Cloud is our code-to-cloud platform that secures apps from design to runtime.
Cortex is our AI-driven SecOps platform that accelerates detection and remediation of security threats.
These deliver purpose-engineered solutions that help customers radically simplify their cybersecurity operations and increase their cybersecurity outcomes.
In each area, Palo Alto Networks has consolidated numerous standalone security tools with a single, tightly integrated architecture that is built to automate, streamline and improve cybersecurity operations.
Importantly, every component of these platforms is held to the high standard of being the absolute best at its function, even when compared with leading point products in that space.
Since not everything happens at once, the platforms are built modularly, allowing you to adopt components over time, instead of all at once; and, you have a wide range of integrations with other products you are using in your security infrastructure.
Adopting the Palo Alto Networks platforms can be fast and easy, thanks to our deep bench of technical talent and customer consultants.
They will help ensure you've got the right platform for your needs and help you get it set up.
