Palo Alto Networks acquires Talon

The acquisition was touted by Palo Alto Networks to strengthen its Secure Access Service Edge suite with Talon’s enterprise browser technology.

Palo Alto Networks has finalised its purchase of Israel-based secure browser developer Talon Cyber Security more than a month after it disclosed a 625 million dollars acquisition deal.

The acquisition was touted by Palo Alto Networks to strengthen its Secure Access Service Edge suite with Talon’s enterprise browser technology. Consequently, it would ensure adherence to zero trust security principles in managed and unmanaged devices. Besides enabling secure enterprise app access across unmanaged devices, Talon’s technology would enable Palo Alto Networks to offer browser-based data security controls for effective prevention of data exfiltration activities. 

Chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks, Nikesh Arora, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Talon to Palo Alto Networks. Most work today occurs via web browsers, often on unmanaged devices, which poses enormous security risks.”
