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

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.
