Today is an exciting day for Palo Alto Networks and its customers as we complete our acquisition of Twistlock. The addition of Twistlock further strengthens our capabilities in cloud security and will help customers accelerate their journey to the cloud with consistent and comprehensive security across public, private and hybrid cloud deployments. This is hot off the heels of our acquisition of PureSec, a leader in protecting serverless applications.
Most modern applications utilize a mix of platform as a service (PaaS), VMs, serverless and other resources offered by cloud service providers. The acquisitions of Twistlock and PureSec further advance Prisma leadership in cloud security by providing customers with a comprehensive set of security protections across the entire continuum of cloud workloads.
With Twistlock and PureSec part of the Prisma cloud security suite, customers will benefit from these capabilities:
- Twistlock, the leader in container security, brings vulnerability management, compliance and runtime defense for cloud-native applications and workloads.
- PureSec empowers enterprises to embrace serverless technologies, such as AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, Azure Functions and IBM Cloud Functions, without compromising on security, visibility and governance.
