Palo Alto Networks delivers unified security against multi-cloud and quantum threats
Customers gain complete visibility and control over their cryptographic risk posture through a Quantum Readiness Dashboard that provides real-time inventory, compliance validation, and inline remediation.
Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, announced two new security solutions to help organizations confidently navigate the evolving quantum landscape, and to keep pace with highly dynamic cloud and AI environments. These innovations provide enterprises with the visibility, agility, and robust defenses needed to accelerate their quantum readiness and secure their workloads in a multi-cloud world.
Anand Oswal, SVP and GM of Network Security, Palo Alto Networks
“The quantum threat to encryption is no longer theoretical—it’s an inevitability that demands action now. With these latest innovations, we are pioneering the defense for this new era. Every Palo Alto Networks customer that uses our latest software will be able to achieve quantum readiness, with the intelligence and infrastructure needed to proactively secure their most critical assets from tomorrow’s threats, today.”
Palo Alto Networks delivers a comprehensive approach to quantum readiness across the enterprise. Customers gain complete visibility and control over their cryptographic risk posture through a Quantum Readiness Dashboard that provides real-time inventory, compliance validation, and inline remediation.
And, for applications that don’t natively support quantum safe encryption, this release introduces cipher translation, which instantly upgrades any application to be quantum safe. Palo Alto Networks is also introducing Quantum-Optimized Hardware—14 new 5th-generation Next-Generation Firewall models—that future-proof security investments with high-performance processing of post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
Pete Finalle, Research Manager, Security and Trust Team, IDC
“The increased urgency to achieve quantum readiness, coupled with the proliferation of multi-cloud environments and rapid advancements in AI, has created a complex and fragmented security landscape for the modern enterprise. This has created blind spots and inconsistent policies for businesses striving to establish a resilient zero trust architecture.
“Palo Alto Networks proactively addressing quantum computing threats with ‘crypto agility’ is a key differentiator. Additionally, highly scalable software firewalls with complete deployment automation and native microsegmentation addresses critical visibility and operational challenges in network security.”
In today’s complex multi-cloud and AI-driven landscape, organizations need intelligent and agile security more than ever, and the latest innovations address this need by delivering on a bold new vision for cloud network security. Cloud and AI Risk Assessment continuously assesses every cloud and AI asset for risks from weak or missing protection, highlighting where security controls are needed for optimal security.
Software Firewall, Cloud Firewall, and Prisma AIRS instances are automatically deployed, and all cloud infrastructure is configured to steer traffic, including a secure multi-cloud networking mesh. The platform automatically scales as needed, and load balancing is integrated natively, eliminating the need for additional point products and streamlining operations.
Mehdi Lahrech, Senior Manager, Hybrid Cloud Networking, National Basketball Association (NBA) “We aim to deliver secure, high-performance digital experiences – from real-time game analytics to fan engagement – that build trust with our community. As we expand our multi-cloud infrastructure, we rely on Palo Alto Networks innovative platform to support this vision. With this latest update, we gain a unified platform that empowers us to rapidly scale services, protect critical digital assets, and stay ahead of evolving threats, making Palo Alto Networks our trusted partner for securing the future of the game.”
Scott Moser, SVP, Chief Information Security Officer, Sabre
“Our vision at Sabre is to power the global travel industry by providing innovative software and technology solutions, and we can’t be distracted or slowed down by cyber threats. With the threat landscape being radically changed by AI-powered attackers, complex global architectures, and the huge shifts coming with quantum computing, we need a cybersecurity partner with a powerful vision and a proven ability to execute. This announcement is just another milestone that proves why Palo Alto Networks is our partner of choice for cybersecurity.”
These new innovations and other key features will be available through a software upgrade to PAN-OS 12.1. To learn more about PAN-OS 12.1 Orion and Palo Alto Networks next-generation security solutions, read the blog.
