Gartner has published their 2010 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls. Key points outlined in the report include:
- Palo Alto Networks was recognized as a visionary in the Gartner 2010 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls.
- According to Gartner, “The rapid growth of business applications moving from the internal data center to external software as a service (and someday cloud services), along with the impact of what Gartner calls "the consumerization of IT," has rapidly changed the definition of a "trust boundary" and the types of security controls that are required at that boundary.”
- Furthermore, Gartner notes: “In 2009, Gartner saw market pressures accelerate the demand for next-generation firewall platforms that provide the capability to detect and block sophisticated attacks, as well as enforce granular security policy at the application (versus port and protocol) level. ”
Palo Alto Networks’ next-generation firewalls enable policy- based visibility and control over applications, users and content. With this technology, enterprises can accurately identify and control applications, scan content to stop threats, and prevent data leakage – all with a single network device. By reducing the number of security devices in their networks, companies can save both capital expenditures and operational costs.
