Palo Alto Networks Is Recognized by Gartner for Its Ability to Execute and <\/strong>Completeness of Vision<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Today, Palo Alto Networks was recognized as a Leader in the 2023 Gartner\u00ae Magic Quadrant\u2122 for SD-WAN<\/a> for the fourth consecutive year. Palo Alto Networks is furthest for Completeness of Vision<\/em>, which we believe is a testament to our next-generation Prisma SD-WAN solution. Palo Alto Networks has also been recently recognized as the only Leader in Single-Vendor SASE<\/a> and as a Leader in Security Service Edge (SSE)<\/a> in 2023, making us the only evaluated vendor named as a Leader in all three SASE-related Magic Quadrant reports.<\/p>\n

In the post-pandemic world, organizations are looking to accelerate hybrid work, cloud and digital transformation. As a result, customers need a unified SASE solution that combines SD-WAN and security. In fact, according to \u200b\u200bGartner 2022 Strategic Roadmap for SASE Convergence report<\/a>, by 2025, 50% of SD-WAN purchases will be part of a single vendor SASE offering, up from less than 10% in 2021.<\/p>\n

To secure the modern branch, a cloud-delivered security model integrated with SD-WAN is essential. Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access<\/a> provides a massively distributed security service edge<\/a> (SSE) with a full stack of security capabilities delivered from the cloud. By unifying Prisma SD-WAN<\/a> with Prisma Access, we provide Prisma SASE<\/a> to help build modern branches.<\/p>\n

Hence, customers who have deployed first-generation SD-WAN products, as well as customers who have traditional routers, are looking to migrate to Prisma SD-WAN. We see two migrations:<\/p>\n
