Palo Alto Networks introduced the industry's only Next-Generation CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) ? raising the bar in SaaS security to accommodate today's hybrid work tools. As SaaS applications, especially modern collaboration tools, power a rapidly expanding hybrid workforce, security teams are struggling to stay secure. Legacy SaaS security solutions focus on compliance, not security, and were built when the universe of apps was much smaller and more predictable ? leaving many of today's go-to tools without adequate protections. Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation CASB helps organizations enable the safe adoption of SaaS by automatically securing new applications, accurately protecting sensitive data in real time, and stopping known and unknown threats with best-in-class threat detection and prevention. Palo Alto Networks has fully integrated the Next-Generation CASB into the industry's most complete SASE solution, Prisma? SASE, and into all form factors of the company's leading Next-Generation Firewalls to provide the following benefits: See and secure thousands of SaaS applications automatically ? this includes support for the industry's largest number of unsanctioned, tolerated and sanctioned apps, including collaboration apps. Accurately protect sensitive data in real time, thanks to the industry's most comprehensive cloud-delivered enterprise DLP, now with machine learning (ML), advanced optical character recognition (OCR) and natural language processing (NLP). Help stop known, unknown and zero-day threats with the industry's most complete cloud-delivered security platform, leveraging 15 years of innovation in malware analysis and prevention.
