Palo Alto Networks has announced its forward-thinking cybersecurity portfolio with G42 to protect sensitive data across a growing number of sites, people, and endpoints.
G42 is an Abu Dhabi-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud computing company, having built the largest cloud computing infrastructure in the Middle East. In the last few years, G42 has expanded exponentially opening several offices across Abu Dhabi, which has increased the volume of sensitive customer data.
According to G42, the attack surface is growing, creating the potential for inconsistent security policies and gaps in visibility. G42 needed to:
- Protect data, devices, and users without slowing down innovation
- Stay ahead of sophisticated attacks without becoming overwhelmed by security alerts and false positives
- Create a secure network infrastructure to protect Business Continuity, Digital Transformation and G42’s brand reputation
- Design a robust network security architecture and bridge cloud computing to operate AI and data analytics solutions over a secure network
- Provide secure and flexible remote office connectivity to sites across Abu Dhabi while maintaining data protection and security monitoring capability
- Achieve operational excellence through a centrally managed network security solution and rapid security onboarding of new branch offices
Hadi Anwar, Group Chief Information Officer, G42, commented: “The reason we chose Palo Alto Networks is simple. The company’s network security is best-in-class and is a market leader in threat prevention. Nothing else comes close in terms of functionality, flexibility and security product roadmap. We also receive outstanding support from the local Palo Alto Networks account management and support teams, which is critical to our joint collaborative success.”
To support G42 to power world-forward AI and cloud research, Palo Alto Networks has provided a complete connected security portfolio with the Machine Learning-powered next-generation firewall, helping deliver consistent protection across G42’s virtualised applications, workloads and data spanning the Abu Dhabi headquarters, satellite offices, mobile and remote workforces – giving G42 complete visibility and consistent, highly effective security.”
Anwar said: “We operate a complex landscape. The Machine Learning -powered next-generation firewall platform is deployed at each location, giving G42 complete visibility and consistent, highly effective security. It’s simple, automated, entirely integrated, and centrally managed.”
