Palo Alto Networks and Deloitte expand strategic partnership into APACJ

Palo Alto Networks (PAN) and Deloitte have announced that they will bring their strategic alliance into the EMEA and JAPAC regions.

This makes PAN's AI-powered cybersecurity solutions available to Deloitte clients worldwide.

Australian clients will be helped by the partnership to address growing complexity of managing multiple cybersecurity products, by embracing platformisation, with integrated solutions that enhance security posture and operational efficiency.

The expanded partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of leading cybersecurity capabilities and help clients realise the benefits of platformisation, addressing the challenges organisations face in managing multiple cybersecurity products.

"Australian organisations continue to see an increase in both volume and sophistication of cyber attacks," Janet Docherty, director of channel sales and alliances ANZ at Palo Alto Networks, said.

The expanded collaboration will offer Palo Alto Networks security solutions across Deloitte's network, cloud, and security operations platforms.

Key offerings include a security operations centre (SOC) management platform that utlises PAN's AI-powered Cortex extended security intelligence and automation management (XSIAM).

Deloitte also offers intellectual property (IP) that can accelerate SOC modernisation.

This can be done through consolidation of a heterogeneous tech stack, adoption of complex incident response playbooks, integration with leading IT Service Management (ITSM) platforms, event log aggregation, and orchestration.

This will assist clients to reduce technical complexity while enhancing operational efficiency.

Joint offerings from Deloite and PAN are available to enhance the security of cloud-native applications and infrastructure, and the companies are providing organisations with help to strategise, design, implement and accelerate Zero Trust (ZT) adoption.

This global expansion builds on the long-standing collaboration between Palo Alto Networks and Deloitte, aiming to address the evolving cybersecurity needs of organisations worldwide.
