I\u2019m excited to announce the acquisition of CirroSecure and with it the expansion of our platform\u2019s ability to safely enable the applications that form the backbone of today\u2019s businesses.<\/p>\n
Increasingly organizations are turning to SaaS applications such as Box, Dropbox, or salesforce.com that are highly collaborative in nature, yet often store some of an organization\u2019s most sensitive data.\u00a0 Securing these sanctioned applications requires a new level of visibility and control that, up to this point, hasn\u2019t existed within the industry.\u00a0 Ultimately organizations must have the ability to peer deep into the application, tracking usage at a granular enough level to allow for more effective control.\u00a0 This control must allow for better management of access privileges and data sharing, from both corporate and personal devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The addition of the CirroSecure technology to the Palo Alto Networks Enterprise Security Platform provides organizations with this necessary functionality by extending visibility down to the individual file, folder and user that\u2019s operating within the SaaS application.\u00a0 The CirroSecure technology then applies deep analytics into the day-to-day usage in order to quickly determine if there are any DLP or compliance-related policy violations.\u00a0 Then, through use of granular context-aware policies, violations can trigger an immediate response such as the quarantine of a user or data.\u00a0 This complete visibility, coupled with granular policy controls, moves organizations from a position of speculation to one of knowing exactly what\u2019s happening to its sensitive SaaS application data at any given point in time, while automatically responding to contain or eliminate risks.<\/p>\n
This innovative technology will be available the second half of 2015 via a new Palo Alto Networks service.\u00a0 Over the course of the next few months we\u2019ll share more detail with regards to future strategy, product features, and demonstrations.\u00a0 If you\u2019d like these periodic updates, make sure to visit our announcement page at go.paloaltonetworks.com\/saassecurity<\/a> and sign up for automated updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m excited to announce the acquisition of CirroSecure and with it the expansion of our platform\u2019s ability to safely enable the applications that form the backbone of today\u2019s businesses.
