“NitroView delivers unmatched scalability and ‘single pane of glass’ visibility into – and invaluable context around – security logs and events, and next-generation, risk-based correlation to detect external and insider threats that don’t play by the rules. Combining that with data captured by Palo Alto Networks’ firewalls fuels even more effective security initiatives,” said Doug Bailey, EVP of Business Development at NitroSecurity. “We’re thrilled to join the select group of companies in Palo Alto Networks’ Technology Partnership Program and collaborate in providing robust, high-value security solutions to enterprises.”
