Palo Alto Networks Emerges as Top Leader in 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge (SSE)
Today marks a significant milestone for Palo Alto Networks as we proudly announce our recognition as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge (SSE).
This prestigious acknowledgment underscores our unwavering dedication to delivering excellence and innovation in cybersecurity solutions, particularly through our acclaimed Prisma® Access SSE solution.
Continuing a Tradition of Excellence
Our designation as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SSE follows closely on the heels of our similar recognition in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SD-WAN. We stand out as the sole vendor acknowledged as a Leader in both categories.
This consistent recognition speaks volumes about our steadfast commitment to providing advanced, integrated security solutions that safeguard organizations' networks, applications, and data.
Empowering SASE Transformation with Prisma Access
Since its inception in 2019, Prisma Access has been a trailblazer in the SASE transformation landscape. Our platform addresses critical security requirements, including:
- Evolution from legacy VPN solutions to ZTNA 2.0.
- Replacement of traditional on-premises secure web gateways (SWG) with Cloud SWG.
- Strengthening of SaaS applications with Next-Generation CASB.
As global adoption of SASE gains momentum, organizations encounter challenges in implementing these expansive solutions. At Palo Alto Networks, we champion platformization to streamline management and advocate for a single-vendor strategy.
This approach simplifies management processes and leverages the power of AI and machine learning across security, networking, and user experience management, all derived from a unified data source.
This comprehensive strategy ensures data integrity, accuracy, and consistency—fundamental prerequisites for effective AI/ML applications. By minimizing complexity, our unified approach enables organizations to meet these critical data standards more efficiently than fragmented solutions.
Looking Towards the Future
According to Gartner projections:
By 2025, 80% of enterprises will adopt a strategy to unify web, cloud services, and private application access using a SASE/SSE architecture, compared to 20% in 2021.
Palo Alto Networks is thrilled to spearhead this transformative journey, persistently innovating and propelling security forward in an increasingly digital landscape.
