The Talon acquisition extends Palo Alto Networks’ best-in-class SASE solution to help protect all managed and unmanaged devices

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Talon Cyber Security, a pioneer of enterprise browser technology.

“We are thrilled to welcome Talon to Palo Alto Networks,” said Nikesh Arora, chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks. “Most work today occurs via web browsers, often on unmanaged devices, which poses enormous security risks. Through the seamless integration of Talon’s Enterprise Browser with Prisma® SASE, we will be elevating our best-in-class solution that helps provide ironclad security and data protection for all users across all applications and from any device or location. Additionally, we plan to extend Talon’s cutting-edge Enterprise Browser technology to our qualified SASE AI customers at no additional cost.” 

In today’s evolving threat landscape, employees frequently use personal and unmanaged devices to access critical business applications, including using mobile devices alongside corporate laptops. While this approach increases productivity, the lack of consistent security, control and visibility across devices increases security risk. To tackle these challenges, organizations need a holistic SASE solution that securely enables users to access vital business applications regardless of their chosen device. As part of that SASE solution, Talon’s Enterprise Browser will provide additional layers of protection against phishing attacks, web-based attacks and malicious browser extensions. Talon also offers extensive controls to help ensure that sensitive data does not escape the confines of the browser, regardless of whether the enterprise manages the device.

Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE is the secure foundation for agile, cloud-enabled organizations. Integrating Talon with Prisma Access can provide customers with substantial productivity benefits by enabling unmanaged devices, but also ensures consistent security and deeper visibility into device usage, all while preserving user privacy.

Palo Alto Networks teams with Google Cloud to provide secure access to applications

/in


Palo Alto Networks Inc. today announced a new partnership with Google LLC Cloud that combines BeyondCorp Enterprise from Google Cloud and Prisma Access from Palo Alto Networks to provide hybrid users with secure access to applications.

Built on the backbone of the Google Cloud network, the cloud-delivered Zero Trust Network Access 2.0 solution is said to enable users to work securely from anywhere, regardless of device type. Tapping into Prisma Access, customers gain access to ZTNA 2.0 security for all devices, branch offices and applications. With the inclusion of BeyondCorp Enterprise Essentials, users can secure access to applications and resources for unmanaged devices.

The pairing combines threat intelligence and machine learning that automatically detects and remediates threats to users, applications and enterprise data, powered by low-latency connections on Google Cloud. “Legacy VPN and ZTNA 1.0 solutions provide access to users that are too broad and lack continuous security inspection, putting cloud-first and hybrid organizations at risk,” explained Kumar Ramchandran, senior vice president of products at Palo Alto Networks.

Also announced today by Palo Alto Networks at its annual Ignite Conference in Las Vegas was Prisma Cloud Secrets Security. A cloud-native application protection platform, the solution taps into signature-based secrets detection, observing events and identifying patterns that match the signatures of known attacks, and an entropy model that measures the amount of uncertainty an attacker faces to determine the value of a secret.

Prisma Cloud now scans all files, including “infrastructure as code” and source files, to deliver a solution that offers full application lifecycle protection. The service does so by scanning for hardcoded in-code pre-commit, version control systems and continuous integration pipelines.

The service additionally alerts users to exposed secrets in cloud works and resources using built-in runtime policies. Key features include application programming interface risk profile for cloud-native applications that rely on APIs for communication.

Prisma Cloud now has enhanced web application and API security capability with…
