Palo Alto Networks has been named a leader in OT security in [The Forrester Wave™: Operational Technology Security Solutions, Q2 2024 report](https://start.paloaltonetworks.com/forrester-wave-ot-security-2024.html). We received the highest score in both the Strategy and Current Offering categories. As we see it, Forrester's recognition of our "compelling end-to-end OT security platform" underscores our dedication to providing comprehensive OT security capabilities to our customers.

[![Forrester Wave Leader 2024, operational technology security solutions](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2024Q2_Operational-Technology-Security-Solutions_180867_L.png)](https://start.paloaltonetworks.com/forrester-wave-ot-security-2024.html)

Through our platform approach, we provide comprehensive OT capabilities, best-in-class security and a consistent user experience across OT and IT networks, helping our customers reduce operational complexities that are particularly inherent in OT environments.

Securing OT environments is crucial, as breaches can cause major operational disruptions, safety hazards and financial losses. With the convergence of OT and IT, securing these environments has never been more challenging. The call to action is clear -- now is the time to protect OT environments with comprehensive security solutions.

> Palo Alto Networks has a compelling end-to-end OT security platform, and offers a full stack of OT cybersecurity capabilities covering security operations, network, cloud, and threat intelligence.

### A Powerful Platform for Comprehensive OT Security

Through continuous dialogue with our customers, we've uncovered the critical need for a more holistic approach, and that's why the heart of our solution is providing best-in-class security for both OT and IT environments. Facing sophisticated cyberthreats demands a security solution that delivers comprehensive visibility of OT assets and their risks, as well as consistent security across enforcement points, all within a single platform.

Our Palo Alto Networks [Zero Trust OT Security](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/network-security/zero-trust-ot-security) solution is designed to secure every OT environment, including OT networks and assets, remote operations and distributed sites, and 5G networks and assets. Our OT security capabilities are tailor-made to empower our customers, enabling effective protection for personnel, applications, devices and data to provide a consistent user experience.

Forrester's acknowledgment of our approach speaks volumes; they recognize our vision for "seamless integration of IT and OT in a comprehensive platform tailored to the unique challenges of industrial systems."

The report also notes how our "emphasis on a consistent user experience across IT and OT helps reduce operational complexity." We are proud to be recognized for how we "excel at network security, particularly through the automatic recommendation of new security policies, based on learned inbound and outbound traffic patterns." This approach not only streamlines the policy creation process but also minimizes errors and saves valuable time. These policies seamlessly scale across multiple assets with similar profiles, ensuring consistent protection across the board. Enforcing these policies is effortless with our Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), utilizing Device-ID for easy implementation.

The Forrester evaluation also noted that our solution "excels at network security, including 5G and offers advanced features like automatically recommending new network security policies based on learned inbound and outbound traffic patterns."

Zero Trust OT Security delivers extensive visibility and protection for every cellular connected device, regardless of its network connection, providing a comprehensive defense against evolving threats through the seamless integration of [5G-Native Security](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/network-security/5g-security) within our next-generation firewalls.

### Our Commitment to Innovation

The Forrester report also stated that the Palo Alto Networks "50-plus IoT-/OT-related patents demonstrate its innovation and commitment to solving OT security problems."

We've been innovating for industrial cybersecurity needs since 2009 when we introduced our first OT-specific App-IDs, and started securing OT environments. We continue to enhance our solutions to help ensure OT systems are future-proof and cyber-resilient.
