The cyber threat evolution has continued since I left the
military and joined industry. What really worries me in
current times are the alarming trends in addition to the
espionage, disruptive and destructive trends, as well as a
blurring of lines between state and non-state cyber entities.

I am absolutely convinced that Palo Alto Networks is
leading the way when it comes to three trends that are
changing the way the cybersecurity industry can better
prevent successful cyber-attacks and make each day safer
and more secure than the day before. The three game
changing trends we employ are related to one another,
and consist of automation, advanced software-based
analytics, and the consolidation and native integration of
previously disaggregated visibility and security enforcement
technologies. Palo Alto Networks is the gold standard
when it comes to achieving success using each of the three
trends for not only our customers and partners, but within
our own enterprise environment because we use our own
cybersecurity technologies.
