BT announced that it will integrate the Palo Alto Networks breach prevention security system into BT’s global portfolio of security services.
As part of this agreement, BT’s Assure Managed Firewall service will now integrate WildFire cloud-based malware prevention, which is a key component of the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Security Platform. It will be used to further secure the access to cloud-based applications, enabling enterprise customers to reap increased benefits from BT’s Cloud of Clouds.
BT's 'Cloud of Clouds' technology is based on a new generation of cloud services that allow organizations around the world to connect easily and securely to the applications and the data they need, independently of where they are hosted.
Mark Hughes, CEO of BT Security
Integrating that breach prevention capability into the BT Assure portfolio of security services will be a big step forward in securing the cloud strategy of an organisation.
Mark McLaughlin, president and chief executive officer at Palo Alto Networks
Security is now a top concern for every business, and with continued growth in both the volume and sophistication of attacks, a breach prevention-focused strategy is essential to ensure a safe digital future for organisations and individuals alike.
