The Team

Drawing on the near real-time data collected through PAN-OS device telemetry, our industry-leading next generation insights product (AIOps for NFGW) gives large cybersecurity operators a force multiplier that provides visibility into the health of their next-generation-firewall (NGFW) devices. It enables early detection of issues at various levels of the stack via Deep Learning based advanced time-series forecasting and anomaly detection using novel deep learning techniques. Our goal is to be able to predict and prevent service-impacting issues in critical security infrastructure that operates 24/7/365 with zero false positives and zero false negatives.
