Automating Your SOC With An AI-Native Platform

Enterprise Strategy Group’s (ESG) latest report illustrates the pervasive adoption of zero trust security: 69% have implemented or started to implement zero trust, with an additional 26% in the planning process. However, organizational issues, project expenses, and technical problems all conspire to cut these initiatives short.

Join in this Fireside Chat ESG Cybersecurity Senior Analyst Todd Thiemann, Sr. Director Product Management at Okta Jamie Fitz-Gerald, and Palo Alto Networks Director of Product Management Brian Levin to ensure the success of your zero trust initiatives, as the trio examines tips, pitfalls to avoid, and core best practices. 

Tune in for an analysis of the following, based on recent ESG research:
• 8 key drivers of zero trust strategies—and why security modernization is a top factor 
• Remote & hybrid work attack vectors that complicate device security 
• 10 important actions to improve zero trust strategies   
• How Palo Alto Networks & Okta streamline zero trust adoption for their customers

The Zero Trust Journey: 8 Key Drivers, Best Practices, & Common Challenges

Real security requires collaboration among multiple teams to be successful, but 35% of companies in the cloud report siloed teams. In this session I will talk about the best ways to integrate security across the application lifecycle, and how to work across multiple teams to achieve your goals with Prisma Cloud.

Cloud Security is a Layer 8 Problem

The demand for managed security service providers (MSSPs) is high, with IT and security teams asking for even more capabilities. However, challenges exist for MSSPs to deliver on these sky-high expectations. 

The ability to scale skills, expertise, and handle massive amounts of data are bogging down MSSPs ability to provide services to businesses, especially as the attack surface continues to grow in complexity. Additionally, the MSSP-client trust journey takes time to nurture, inhibiting progress.

Join Bar Katzir, Palo-Alto, Peter Van Hoorenbeeck, Davinsi Labs and Dave Gruber, Enterprise Strategy Group, in this webinar as they discuss:
• How to address MSSP challenges
• What MSSP automation use cases you should prioritize
• Palo-Alto’s SOAR solution for MSSPs

Automation: Critical for MSSP Growth, Performance and Profitability

Harness the power of machine intelligence and automation with Cortex XSIAM

Security Operations Centres (SOCs) struggle to keep pace with modern threats, the perils of an ever-increasing digital attack surface and the need to extract value from a plethora of security tools. Cybersecurity technologies continuously introduce additional capabilities to the SOC, such as the emergence of XDR, Security Analytics, and Generative AI. Meanwhile, the SOC has revolved around the SIEM for over a decade. Does this provide an opportunity to leave the legacy SIEM behind, moving beyond its limitations?

Join our fireside chat with Allie Mellen, Principal Analyst at Forrester®, to discover:

Evolutionary challenges and opportunities for SOCs to evolve
How to enhance security outcomes by harnessing artificial intelligence
How AI and automation can supercharge detection, prevention, and response
A new paradigm for the modern SOC

Prepare to be challenged, and to explore a new way to re-imagine the SOC. See how innovation disrupts the status quo, empowering humans to lead with confidence and make organizations more secure.

New paradigm for the modern SOC

A VPN-centric approach to secure access has several issues, including weak security, lack of scalability and siloed management. Luckily, the emergence of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) offers a more robust solution for your organization.

In this webinar, join John Grady, Principal Analyst at ESG and Don Meyer, Director of Product Marketing – SASE at PANW as they discuss key considerations you need to have in mind when modernizing secure access. 

Watch now to learn about:
• Why 42% of orgs plan to move more of their applications to ZTNA over time
• The evolution of SASE/ZT overall and how they tie into ZTNA
• What’s holding some organizations back and how to overcome these challenges

The Case for ZTNA over a VPN

A single click is all it takes. With ransomware groups turning up the pressure on victims and demanding higher ransoms – can your organization afford to take the risk?

According to the Unit 42 Ransomware Threat Report, in 2023, ransom demands were as high as $50 million with payments as high as $7 million. On top of that, there was a 37% increase in multi extortion ransomware attacks and the speed of data exfiltration is accelerating.  The heightened impact of ransomware attacks are an indication of the future of the current threat landscape. You need to ensure your protection has evolved to stay ahead of today’s ransomware attacks.

In this technical session, Network Security Evangelist, John Harrison, and Kyle Wilhoit, Director, Threat Analysis Unit 42, will provide insight into how ransomware attacks have evolved in 2023 and key recommendations using Palo Alto Networks solutions to keep your organization protected.

Explore Attack Surface Resilience. GigaOm Analyst Insights on ASM.

The move to the cloud and increasing remote work have fragmented attack surfaces, making it easy for attackers to find unmanaged assets with critical exposures. Manually finding and remediating these risks is untenable, so security teams need active attack surface management (ASM) to not just find the unknown exposures but also automatically fix them. 

In this webinar, our cybersecurity experts share 10 ASM use cases that will help you:

- Identify and mitigate unknown risks.
- Fix security blind spots.
- Prevent ransomware.
- Immediately respond to zero days.
- And much more! 

Plus, you’ll hear how our customers are using Cortex® Xpanse™ to stay ahead of their cyberthreats and reduce critical exposures.

Don’t miss your opportunity to gain a competitive edge over attackers and ensure your attack surface is secure. Watch now!

Untangling the Global Attack Surface

XDR (extended detection and response) was coined in 2018 by Nir Zuk, CTO of Palo Alto Networks. Ever since, XDR has captured the collective imagination of security teams and analysts alike. It has also led to confusion on what XDR is and isn’t.

Many see XDR as the key to breaking down data silos, reducing security blind spots and improving SOC efficiency. However, not all users understand the use cases for XDR and which vendors offer true XDR.

You'll gain a deeper understanding of:

- The top features and benefits of XDR solutions
- How organizations use XDR for SecOps today
- Tips for identifying XDR imposters
- How to choose the right XDR product for your environment
- XDR is what’s next in cybersecurity. 

Watch now to learn more.
