Palo Alto Networks has spent recent months working even more closely with MSSP partners. So what's next? The answer may involve a partner push for supply chain security software.Indeed, the company's latest Prisma Cloud Supply Chain Security solution is designed to "help organizations identify and address software supply chain vulnerabilities and misconfigurations." In particular, the software helps organizations identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in code, including open-source packages, infrastructure-as-code files and delivery pipelines, the company indicated.But alas, Palo Alto Networks did not say whether the platform is multi-tenant for MSPs and MSSPs.Auto-Discovery: Extracts and models code assets using Cloud Code Security scanners. Graph Visualization: Offers an inventory of application and infrastructure asset dependencies to help organizations see potential weaknesses across their attack surfaces. Supply Chain Code Fix: Remediates vulnerable dependencies or misconfigured IaC resources. Code Repository Scanning: Identifies and fixes vulnerabilities in open-source packages in application code. Branch Protection Rules: Extends policy-as-code to protect against code-tampering attacks. Organizations can use these features to establish and maintain a zero trust architecture across their supply chain operations, Palo Alto Networks added.February 2022: The company unveiled a hierarchical multi-tenant cloud management portal, open API framework and other upgrades for its Prisma SASE solution for MSPs. February 2022: Introduced Cortex Extended Security Intelligence & Automation Management (XSIAM), an artificial intelligence-based platform that could disrupt the traditional SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) market. Moreover, Palo Alto Networks continues to explore and expand partnership opportunities. More than 300 partners (including several Top 250 MSSPs) offer Palo Alto Networks security solutions via the company's NextWave Service Program.Additional insights from Joe Panettieri.
