According to a Forrester Consulting study conducted on behalf of Capital One, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalone.com\/tech\/cloud-container-adoption-report\/\" rel=\"nofollow,noopener\" >Cloud Container Adoption in the Enterprise<\/a>,\u201d 86% of IT leaders are prioritizing the use of containers for more applications.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs more and more organizations rely on containerized applications and workloads in Kubernetes environments, they need network security solutions designed specifically for cloud native environments,\u201d said Anand Oswal, SVP, products, firewall as a platform at Palo Alto Networks. \u201cWith CN-Series, competitive organizations can rapidly secure containerized applications and workloads \u2013 without slowing the speed of development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re glad to see the excitement about CN-Series since its launch this summer, and we think some of its appeal comes from attention to detail. We believe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paloaltonetworks.com\/blog\/2020\/06\/network-cn-series\/\">complete container security<\/a> requires the following protections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vulnerability management.<\/li>\n<li>Runtime security.<\/li>\n<li>Identity-based microsegmentation.<\/li>\n<li>NGFW capabilities such as securing encrypted traffic, threat prevention, DNS security and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paloaltonetworks.com\/prisma\/cloud\">Prisma Cloud 2.0<\/a> \u2013 the industry\u2019s most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paloaltonetworks.com\/blog\/2020\/10\/cloud-evolution-comprehensive-cnsp\/\">comprehensive Cloud Native Security Platform<\/a> \u2013 CN-Series provides all of these features, including Layer 7 NGFW capabilities and advanced threat protection. This provides organizations with unprecedented, holistic cloud security.<\/p>\n<p>CRN notes, \u201cKubernetes is red hot right now,\u201d and CN-Series takes this phenomenon into account by making it easy to incorporate security in Kubernetes environments. Because CN-Series deployment and configuration is completely native to Kubernetes, the container firewall can be deployed with simple Kubernetes commands and easily integrated into existing DevOps workflows for fast, repeatable deployments.<\/p>\n<p>And to ensure network security consistency and accuracy throughout the infrastructure, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paloaltonetworks.com\/network-security\/panorama\">Panorama<\/a> security management provides centralized administration across physical, virtual and containerized environments.
