"By bringing together our Next-Generation Firewall technology with Siemens' experience in industrial control systems and unique environments, companies can protect their industrial control systems and other key infrastructure without compromising security, performance, or the ability to scale." But securing these systems is paramount as they make for high-profile targets for cyberattacks, with impacts that go beyond economic consequences," said Anand Oswal, senior vice president of Network Security for Palo Alto Networks. "Critical infrastructure, such as smart utility substations, intelligent transportation systems, traffic signaling, and private broadband gateways in remote locations, is incredibly challenging to secure because the systems are highly distributed, complex and often in very harsh environments. The companies will integrate Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Virtual Next-Generation Firewalls and Siemens Ruggedcom Multi-Service Platforms to enable continuous scalable hardware that will allow customers to extend consistent security policy and visibility across IT, critical OT and industrial control systems (ICS) infrastructure. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced the extension of its technology partnership with Siemens to improve the security of mission-critical networks and prevent the threat of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure.
