Palo Alto Networks recognized as leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant

Palo Alto Networks has announced it has been positioned by Gartner Inc. in the “leaders” quadrant of the April 15, 2014 “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls”. This is the third year that Palo Alto Networks has been recognized as a leader in the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Firewalls.

René Bonvanie, Chief Marketing Officer, Palo Alto Networks, said, "We are thrilled to once again be named a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for enterprise firewalls report.  We believe this echoes the momentum we have been experiencing as enterprise organizations see the value of a truly next-generation security platform – one that safely enables all applications and proactively prevents cyber threats for all users on any device across any network.”

According to the report, through 2018, more than 75% of enterprises will continue to seek network security from a different vendor than their network infrastructure vendor. Products must be able to support single-enterprise firewall deployments and large and/or complex deployments, including branch offices, multi-tiered demilitarized zones (DMZs) and, increasingly, the option to include virtual versions.
