Reisinger adds, “We are delighted that we can now deliver our best-of-breed security technology and integrated platforms to customers locally from our new cloud location in Poland.”
A Deeper Dive into the Offered Services
With the new cloud location, customers will have domestic access to several cutting-edge platforms:
Prisma Access
Prisma Access is the security service edge (SSE) solution of Prisma SASE, converging network security, SD-WAN, and Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM) into a single cloud-delivered service. With a domestic cloud footprint, Polish customers can bring Zero Trust security to the hybrid workforce with low latency and industry-leading performance.
Cortex XDR
Cortex XDR, the industry’s first extended detection and response platform, integrates endpoint, network, and cloud data to stop sophisticated attacks through state-of-the-art AI and analytics. With the new Polish cloud infrastructure, customers can meet data residency needs by keeping their logs and analytics in Poland.
Cortex XSIAM
Cortex XSIAM, an automation-first platform for the modern SOC, harnesses machine intelligence to improve security outcomes and transform security operations. With Cortex XSIAM, Polish customers can now accelerate their SOC transformation while meeting data location preferences.
Advanced WildFire and Cortex Data Lake
With the industry’s largest malware prevention engine, Advanced WildFire, customers can fully utilize while ensuring that files submitted for analysis stay in Poland. Similarly, Cortex Data Lake allows customers to collect, transform, and integrate their enterprise’s security data while keeping data logs locally.
