Cybersecurity vendor Palo Alto Networks has announced new updates to its Prisma Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform that introduce new Software as a Service (SaaS) security and compliance support for customers, along with enhanced threat prevention and URL filtering capabilities. The firm has also released a new native artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) solution for SASE to help simplify networking and security operations. The launches come as the hybrid working era persists with organizations increasingly implementing and relying on SaaS applications, introducing new and complex security challenges.
New Prisma features address SaaS security and compliance challenges, help prevent phishing, ransomware, C2 attacks
In a press release, Palo Alto estimated that the average business now uses more than 110 SaaS applications. With vast amounts of sensitive data typically stored in SaaS apps, security misconfigurations pose serious threats to organizations. Its latest features are therefore partly designed to help customers improve their SaaS security and risk management positions, along with enhancing other key elements of modern cyber resilience.
