Palo Alto Networks has teamed up with AWS to unveil the new
Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW for AWS – a managed Next- Generation Firewall ( NGFW ) service designed to simplify securing AWS deployments – enabling organisations to speed their pace of innovation while remaining secure .
Cloud NGFW for AWS , exclusively available on AWS , brings Palo Alto Networks acclaimed security to organisations ’ cloud deployments in a few clicks . Recognising that customers want to dedicate their time and resources to building applications and running their business instead of managing cloud network security infrastructure , Cloud NGFW for AWS shifts the operational responsibility , including deployment , maintenance , availability and scale , to Palo Alto Networks .
“ A key reason that companies have embraced the cloud is that they want to concentrate on their core competencies and leave other tasks like infrastructure and underlying services to experts like AWS . The native AWS experience and the proliferation of AWS native services have given these organisations the tools they needed to embrace the cloud ,” said Anand Oswal , Senior Vice President , Network Security at Palo Alto Networks .
“ Now , as cyberattacks continue to grow in frequency and sophistication , organisations are looking for network security that is as easy to deploy as other native AWS services . We are thrilled to team with AWS to combine the top-notch security we are known for with the world-class experience people have come to expect from AWS .” p
