Palo Alto Networks has announced investing in new cloud infrastructures across strategic locations in Asia-Pacific and Japan. The new cloud investment integrates Prisma Access Browser into existing infrastructure in markets such as Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan and Singapore.
"Organisations across the Asia-Pacific and Japan region are increasingly moving their workloads to the cloud. Expanding our cloud security presence to Asia-Pacific and Japan is part of our ongoing commitment to provide customers with localised access to best-in-class cybersecurity offerings that help meet their data residency needs," said Simon Green, president of Asia-Pacific and Japan, Palo Alto Networks.
Strengthening the weakest link
"Unmanaged devices are often the weakest link in an organisation's security posture, especially as organisations increasingly embrace a distributed workforce model. Many organisations have reported significant gaps in their ability to decrypt network traffic for security purposes; on average, 64% of web traffic is left encrypted and is therefore unavailable for security," said Anupam Upadhyaya, vice president of Product for Prisma SASE, Palo Alto Networks.
Upadhyaya added that new cloud locations in the region aim to secure connectivity to managed and unmanaged workplace devices, protect critical information, and improve overall security.
Palo Alto Network's regionally hosted services aim to address data residency needs and threat protection. They also aim to provide seamless, streamlined security solutions operated and delivered within the region, as part of the company's commitment to delivering the most complete set of security services locally for Asia Pacific and Japan customers.
