Cloud first has been the official U.S. federal government strategy since the early 2000s. Since then, agencies have been adopting cloud for many of the same reasons as their commercial counterparts. However, when it comes to securing hybrid and public federal clouds, agencies have historically relied upon an abundance of people and point products. This is problematic at cloud scale \u2013 more people and dozens of point products simply do not work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to this challenge, I am excited to announce that Prisma Cloud has been added to Palo Alto Networks Government Cloud Services, which has achieved the designation of \"In Process\" for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). <\/span><\/p>\n

This important milestone will help U.S. government agencies securely adopt public and hybrid cloud by eliminating complexity and delivering consistent security and compliance controls across the entire cloud native technology stack and software development lifecycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stronger Together<\/b><\/p>\n

Over the past two years, Palo Alto Networks has strengthened its cloud security portfolio by acquiring several industry-leading cloud security companies. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
