This was a big week for Palo Alto Networks Inc., as the cybersecurity market leader celebrated turned 20 this week with multiple activities, including its “Ignite on Tour” event in New York and ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange. At Ignite Wednesday, Palo Alto announced a multiyear partnership with the National Hockey League to strengthen cybersecurity across the league — from behind-the-scenes operations to what fans experience online and in arenas.
Palo Alto Networks Inc. last week unveiled its newest cloud security offering, Cortex Cloud. The latest iteration of the company’s Prisma Cloud, it’s natively built on Palo Alto’s Cortex AI-enabled security operations platform. In its announcement, Palo Alto described Cortex Cloud as combining Cortex’s “best-in-class cloud detection and response (CDR) with industry-leading cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP) from Prisma Cloud for real-time cloud security.”
One of the highlights at Palo Alto Networks Inc.’s the most recent version of its Ignite on Tour event series, this one at its Santa Clara headquarters, was founder and Chief Technology Officer Nir Zuk’s presentation of the cybersecurity company’s 2025 predictions for the security industry.
Market researcher Gartner Inc. released its 2023 Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge earlier this month, shining a light on the leaders, and laggards, in the growing cybersecurity segment.
