Michael Novinson
The 10 cybersecurity products making noise in the market have emphasized workflow automation, downtime minimization and incident remediation to better safeguard endpoints, mobile devices, OT environments and containers.
Palo Alto Networks CN-Series
The Palo Alto Networks CN-Series debuted in June as a containerized version of the company’s firewall that was unveiled in June to help network security teams ensure they’re compliant in container environments, and enable security at DevOps speed by speeding up the integration and provisioning process, according to the company.
Kubernetes is red hot right now, and Palo Alto Networks wanted a containerized form factor as part of their firewall to ensure both security and compliance. The CN-Series firewalls leverage deep container context to protect inbound, outbound and east-west traffic between container trust zones along with other components of enterprise IT environments, according to Palo Alto Networks.
The CN-Series can be used to protect critical applications against known vulnerabilities as well as both known and unknown malware until patches can be applied to secure the underlying compute resource. Applications are protected with the CN-Series in on-premise data centers like Kubernetes and RedHat OpenShift as well as the Kubernetes service from each of the big public cloud providers, the firm said.
