Palo Alto Networks Is a Hot Stock

Modern cybersecurity is facing threats that are becoming both more complex and more intense. Against that backdrop, Palo Alto Networks has established itself as a leading American provider of cloud security, network security and security operations management.

The company operates through three platforms: Strata, Prisma and Cortex. Together, they cover all Fortune 100 companies and more than three-quarters of Global 2000 companies, according to the article. Palo Alto’s competitive advantages stem in part from the high costs customers face when switching providers.

Strata provides network security through next-generation firewalls. Prisma protects cloud processes, while Cortex is the company’s newest security operations platform, combining endpoint protection with automated incident response.

The platform approach allows Palo Alto Networks to attract customers quickly and expand its share of spending among existing clients. Its products cover key attack vectors facing modern businesses and address the complexity created by fragmented security tools.
