Organizations need to guard their endpoints against cyberattacks and threats such as ransomware. The traditional solution has been antivirus, a legacy approach that has proven to be inadequate at protecting systems against today\u2019s advanced threats, as well as a challenge to deploy and a source of system performance issues. Often times, cost and management of the solution are roadblocks to deploying more adequate solutions.<\/p>\n

Palo Alto Networks commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study[1]<\/a> to examine the ROI of deploying Traps. The results showed that Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a 3-year subscription.
