Palo Alto Networks recently won the Next Generation Firewall award category for NetworkWorld Asia (NWA) 4^th^ annual Information Management Awards 2015. The award was announced on June 4 in Singapore.

Launched in 2012, the NetworkWorld Asia Information Management Awards recognize Asia's leaders in Information Security, Storage and Data Management. These are the only regional Editors' Choice Awards for the region, backed by leading Asian publications and portals such as NetworkWorld Asia, Networks Asia, Security Asia and Storage Asia.

A team of editors and CIO advisers shortlisted the finalists for nearly 30 award categories, and then submitted the list for online voting. One hundred regional CIOs and IT heads of end-user organizations were invited to vote, and the entry with the most votes in each category emerged as the award winner.

Winning vendors were judged based on reputation in the marketplace, features and USPs of the solution, widespread acceptance of technology and/or brand, users' feedback on the solution/deployment, and durability, scalability and quality of service.

KP Unnikrishan, Marketing Director, Asia Pacific \& Japan for Palo Alto Networks was present at the Award ceremony. Check out some of the photos from the event below!
