Palo Alto Accelerates Investments in India

Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader has unveiled in India its new multi-cloud location dedicated to serving local and regional customers, which underlines India’s importance in Palo Alto Networks’ global strategy and commitment. The new cloud location will enable India-based and other regional organizations to benefit from direct, high-performance access to Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud, Cortex XDR, WildFire and Cortex Data Lake while allowing storage of their logs within Indian borders.

“Investing in local cloud infrastructure is part of Palo Alto Networks continued commitment to customers around the world, wherever their data resides. India was chosen not only because of the country’s mature cloud market and reliable infrastructure but also for accelerated digital transformation imposed by the pandemic,” said Anil Valluri, Regional Vice President, India and SAARC, Palo Alto Networks. “With the Government’s Digital India initiative, this new cloud location is a step forward towards a safer and secure tomorrow, while also addressing data residency and privacy needs,” he added.

With cyberattacks growing in complexity and sophistication, threat detection and prevention is becoming more difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. The new data location provides a global, cloud-delivered, community-driven approach to aggregated threat analysis while addressing data residency and privacy needs that are important among organizations in India.
