Palo Alto Networks and VMware announced a partnership backed by a new jointly-developed solution.

The integrated solution will enable customers to use the VMware NSX network virtualization platform to automate provisioning and distribution of Palo Alto Networks next-generation network security in their software-defined data centers.

Security provisioning and change management is an operational challenge for today’s dynamic cloud data centre environments.

Network security configuration and policy assignment can be slow, rigid and lag behind the pace and ease of application provisioning. At the same time, a next-generation security platform – where security policies are tied to applications, users and data – is a growing requirement for an effective cybersecurity strategy.

Recognizing these changing requirements, Palo Alto Networks and VMware have partnered to deliver an integrated solution that combines the Palo Alto Networks VM-Series virtualized next-generation security platform with the VMware NSX network virtualization platform.

With this joint solution, customers will be able to unify next-generation network security across their physical and virtual environments with a single point of management, the companies said.
