Today we announced our intent to acquire Evident.io, the pioneer and a leader in public cloud infrastructure security. The Evident.io team has built a reputation for innovating for the cloud and solving tough challenges. With their know-how and technology, we will significantly expand our cloud security capabilities, helping security and DevOps teams confidently deploy applications, prevent threats, minimize the risk of data loss and continuously validate compliance.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s look at why this is so important.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Multi-Cloud at Speed Becomes the Norm<\/span><\/p>\n Organizations are aggressively building and deploying applications across public cloud environments. Increasingly, these environments use multiple public cloud accounts and providers so that teams can accommodate varied preferences and use different strengths from the individual cloud providers. The last thing DevOps and SecOps teams want in environments like these is to add complexity \u2013 or to slow down application deployment because of lagging security tools.<\/p>\n As we combine Evident.io\u2019s technology with Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Security Platform, we will add continuous monitoring of public clouds that, along with our existing secure storage capabilities, provide teams full and continuous security and compliance at the speed with which cloud environments need to operate.<\/p>\n With Palo Alto Networks and Evident.io:<\/p>\n That last point is something we hear so often: as teams rapidly adopt public cloud to keep pace with business demands, their IT teams feel overwhelmed with having to add skills and reinvent processes. What\u2019s more, many legacy security tools and techniques that work well in the traditional data center simply don\u2019t scale to support public cloud security, or, worse, are disconnected from one another and require a lot of manual intervention to keep operating. SecOps and DevOps teams need to move forward \u2013 with a frictionless approach to securing public cloud workloads \u2013 and that\u2019s what we can provide together with Evident.io.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next Steps<\/span><\/p>\n As we join forces, Evident.io\u2019s advanced API security and compliance reporting and validation capabilities for public clouds will combine with the advanced threat prevention and cloud DLP capabilities from Palo Alto Networks. We expect to begin integration immediately following the acquisition\u2019s close. And along with the technology, of course, we are very excited to welcome an immensely talented team from Evident.io to Palo Alto Networks.<\/p>\n I invite you to watch a brief video featuring Mark McLaughlin, Mark Anderson and Evident.io\u2019s co-founder, Tim Prendergast, as they discuss this exciting next phase for our customers.<\/p>\n For more on today\u2019s announcement:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today we announced our intent to acquire Evident.io, giving our leadership position in cloud security another boost.
