Palo Alto Networks intensifies focus on the Asia Pacific and Japan region

Cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks announces that it is strengthening its dedication to the Asia-Pacific and Japan region through investments in new cloud infrastructures in key locations throughout the region.

The recent cloud investment incorporates Prisma Access Browser into the current infrastructure across markets like Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, and Singapore, allowing local and regional clients to browse confidently while assisting organizations in fulfilling local data residency requirements without sacrificing security or performance.

In contemporary offices, most tasks are conducted through the browser. Gartner reports that by 2030, enterprise browsers will serve as the primary platform for providing productivity and security software for both managed and unmanaged devices, facilitating a seamless hybrid work experience.

Conventional internet browsers are vulnerable to several cyber threats, including phishing, account takeover, malware infections, and harmful extensions. This issue has been worsened by the widespread use of software-as-a-service and generative AI applications, along with the growing prevalence of unmanaged devices in the workplace. Although these may enhance worker productivity, they also expand the attack surface and provide new access points for cybercriminals.

The availability of regionally hosted services reflects Palo Alto Networks’ ongoing commitment to offering the most comprehensive range of security services locally for customers in Asia Pacific and Japan. These services help customers manage data residency requirements while identifying new threats, offering an easy, efficient security solution managed and provided locally.
