AV-Comparatives, the independent organization that tests and assesses antivirus (AV) software, announced the completion of its 2017 “Comparison of Next-Generation Security Products” and presented Traps advanced endpoint protection with its “Approved” award. The firm conducted a series of malware protection and exploit prevention tests on Traps during September and October 2017. Download the report to view the results of this test.
Palo Alto Networks advanced endpoint protect Traps achieved the rating of “Recommend” in the 2018 NSS Labs Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) Test. This test aims to determine how effectively the AEP product can protect against a threat, regardless of the infection vector or method of obfuscation. The AEP test evaluated several vendors ability to detect, prevent, continuously monitor and take action against malware, exploits, evasions and blended threats.

The Enterprise Security Platform from Palo Alto Networks helps companies remain agile against advanced attacks and defend enterprises against cyber criminals.
With today's growing cyber threats, you undoubtedly have multiple layers of security in place to ensure your data is protected. The problem is that the existing endpoint technologies are just not adequate, leaving you to spend much of your time trying to keep up with patches, then detecting, remediating, and often re-imaging systems when you should be preventing these breaches.
This whitepaper will introduce you to a better way, Traps, Palo Alto Networks Advanced Endpoint Protection is not only a product like no other, but an entirely new category that is going to change the way you think about endpoint protection.
Threat actors who pursue the most effective means to circumvent existing endpoint security measures rely on exploits, especially those that leverage unknown software vulnerabilities (commonly referred to as “zero-day exploits”). Embedded in specially crafted data files and content, such as Adobe® PDF and Microsoft® Word documents, zero-day exploits subvert legitimate applications to carry out nefarious activities. Their ability to evade traditional antivirus solutions, and a lack of vendor security patches, often leave organizations with little in terms of preventive measures against zero-day exploits, which generally serve as the initial stage of a targeted attack.
This paper provides a list of the Top 10 Zero-Day Exploits of 2015, offers several possible conclusions based on the types of exploits and their associated cybercrime campaigns, and discusses three particularly effective zero-day exploits in brief case studies.
The paper then introduces the reader to a technical solution that prevents security breaches which leverage zero-day exploits, including the Top 10 Zero-Day Exploits of 2015 that are listed in this document, without prior knowledge of the application vulnerabilities which they exploit. The solution safely enables organizations to continue the use of their applications regardless of the existence of zero-day exploits, the discovery of application vulnerabilities, or the deployment of security patches.
In this paper we will explore the adoption of IPv6, outline security considerations and concerns, and cover the support of IPv6 on the Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall. Regardless of where you appear on the spectrum for IPv6 adoption, making the switch to the next-generation platform provides tremendous benefit by enabling organizations to implement security services, control errant and unmonitored usage of IPv6, provide a path to consistently secure traffic, and ease migration.

The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) plays a lead role in protecting Australia’s critical infrastructure from cyber intrusions that pose real and present threats to Australia’s national security. ASD has recommended 35 and mandated that four of the mitigation strategies be implemented in every government agency.
IANS, a leading research company focused on information security, just published their risk assessment of adopting Web 2.0 technologies in the enterprise.
This Securosis whitepaper analyzes the disruption happening at the enterprise perimeter, the various technical architectures capable of addressing the new requirements, and deployment considerations for optimal security, availability, and performance. The whitepaper also guides you through advanced firewall features such as IPS, content filtering, and anti-malware.
Palo Alto Networks was recognized as a leader. And according to Gartner, vendors in the leaders quadrant "lead the market in offering new safeguarding features, providing expert capability, rather than treating the firewall as a commodity, and having a good track record of avoiding vulnerabilities in their security products."
This whitepaper, written by a SANS analyst, provides the latest research regarding social networking applications, explains the benefits and risks they bring to corporate networks, and provides a recommendation for defining a secure social networking policy.
Defense in Depth does not mean more security tools. The key to thwarting advanced attacks in today’s government networks is to reduce the attack surface to increase visibility to what matters: the anomalies in your network, across the kill chain.
The theft of credit card data continues to grow at an alarming rate. It is costly to credit card companies and merchants, and it undermines consumer confidence. The Payment Card Industry has developed the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which includes 12 requirements for protecting cardholder data. Despite substantial investments made in securing their networks, organizations are realizing that being PCI compliant does not mean an enterprise is protected against advanced cyberattacks.
