Palo Alto Networks is deepening its commitment to the APAC by investing in new cloud infrastructures across strategic locations.
The new cloud investment integrates Prisma Access Browser into existing infrastructure in markets such as Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan and Singapore.
According to Gartner, by 2030, enterprise browsers will be the core platform for delivering workforce productivity and security software on managed and unmanaged devices for a seamless hybrid work experience.
Traditional internet browsers are vulnerable to a range of cyber threats – a problem worsened by the widespread adoption of SaaS and GenAI applications, as well as the increased use of unmanaged devices at the workplace.
“Many organisations have reported significant gaps in their ability to decrypt network traffic for security purposes; on average, 64% of web traffic is left encrypted, and is therefore unavailable for security,” said Anupam Upadhyaya, Vice President Product for Prisma SASE, Palo Alto Networks. “With our new cloud locations in the region, we’re bringing secure connectivity to these workplace devices – managed and unmanaged.”
“Organisations across the APAC region are increasingly moving their workloads to the cloud. Expanding our cloud security presence to APAC is part of our ongoing commitment to provide customers with localised access to best-in-class cybersecurity offerings that help meet their data residency needs,” said Simon Green, President, Asia-Pacific and Japan, Palo Alto Networks.
