As leaders in cybersecurity, we operate at the forefront of digital transformation. I speak with executives and security practitioners every day, and I hear a consistent theme: How do we stay ahead of adversaries who now move faster than ever, without adding more tools and complexity? Our customers are tasked with preparing for the quantum revolution, while also expanding their digital estate that spans multiple clouds, supports a hybrid workforce and rapidly adopts artificial intelligence. And they do all this while facing threat actors operating at unprecedented scale, speed and sophistication.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to introduce PAN-OS\u00ae<\/sup> 12.1 Orion<\/strong>, which has been engineered to make network security smarter, more predictable and more resilient. It\u2019s built to address the challenges facing modern organizations by providing a robust foundation that enables IT leaders to confidently embrace the future of multicloud, AI, quantum and beyond.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Demystifying the Quantum Future Is Your First Step to Readiness<\/h2>\n

Nearly every leader I speak to is concerned about quantum risk, because, at some point in the next few years, quantum computers will be powerful enough to break the encryption that currently protects virtually all of today\u2019s digital communications. The threat of quantum computing may seem distant, but organizations must recognize that the time to act is now. Becoming quantum-safe is a multi-year journey, and taking the first step today is critical to staying ahead of tomorrow\u2019s threats.<\/p>\n

PAN-OS 12.1 Orion is designed to provide an easy path to quantum-safe security. It enables you to wrap your arms around the problem by conducting a comprehensive Quantum Readiness assessment, giving you an inventory of cryptography usage across your entire enterprise. This assessment identifies where you are and where you are not compliant with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards, giving you the visibility needed for effective planning.<\/p>\n

For legacy applications that can't be immediately upgraded or don\u2019t natively support PQC, this release introduces the industry\u2019s first cipher translation, which instantly upgrades any application to be quantum safe. And when you\u2019re ready to take the next step toward becoming quantum-safe, our new fifth-generation quantum-optimized NGFWs are built to decrypt and inspect PQC-encrypted traffic at scale.<\/span><\/p>\n
