Vendor Sheet
Palo Alto Networks and Thales Group
Palo Alto Networks and Thales integrate to deliver Zero Trust network security by combining Palo Alto’s Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) and GlobalProtect with Thales SafeNet Trusted Access (STA). STA enforces adaptive multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and single sign-on, while NGFW inspects traffic and prevents threats at Layer 7. The joint solution mitigates risks from stolen credentials, secures remote access, and ensures compliance with standards such as PCI DSS and HIPAA. It enhances user experience through Smart SSO and flexible authentication methods, allowing IT teams to enforce granular security policies across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
