Network operations professionals face significant challenges with configuration…

Palo Alto has boosted this effort in recent years with the integration of precision artificial intelligence that includes machine learning and deep learning techniques, in addition to generative AI tools. “Our strategy is to ensure that the time to detect an attack and the time to resolve it (if it has occurred) are zero; currently, the average we manage, which is a great advantage over our competitors, is 10 seconds to detect the attack and…
