"It's very obvious right now that the legacy approaches are failing miserably. You just pick up the paper, it's failing left and right," Mark told CNBC's Jim Cramer. "And what we're seeing then is customers around the world saying there has to be something better, something different -- that's the next-generation Enterprise Security Platform, which Palo Alto has, and I think that's why we're doing so well."
