Redefining the digital security landscape.
Securing access everywhere is what drives our constant innovation at Palo Alto Networks. With Prisma® Access, organizations experience best-in-class security powered by Precision AI® from a single, cloud-delivered solution to protect all users, apps and data.
Palo Alto Networks has been recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge (SSE) for the third year in a row. We believe this recognition is due to the benefits Prisma Access provides, including:
- Best-in-class protection: Stops 30.9 billion threats every day and reduces data breaches by 50%.
- Operational resiliency: SLAs provide industry-leading 99.999% uptime to avoid outages.
- Exceptional user experience: Creates 5X faster app performance than direct to internet.
Palo Alto Networks is the only vendor recognized as a Leader in all three Gartner Magic Quadrant reports: 2025 Magic Quadrant for SSE, 2024 Magic Quadrant for Single-Vendor SASE, and 2024 Magic Quadrant for SD-WAN.
