BT to Offer Palo Alto Networks’s Next Gen Security
BT will integrate the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Security Platform into its global portfolio of security services.
Specifically, BT’s Assure Managed Firewall service will now integrate WildFire cloud-based malware prevention, which is a key component of the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Security Platform. It will be used to further secure the access to cloud-based applications, enabling enterprise customers to reap increased benefits from BT’s Cloud of Clouds.
“Security is now a top concern for every business, and with continued growth in both the volume and sophistication of attacks, a breach prevention-focused strategy is essential to ensure a safe digital future for organisations and individuals alike. We are delighted to join forces with BT to help organisations safely enable business operations and protect their most valuable assets, managing both their risk and their security budgets,” stated Mark McLaughlin, president and chief executive officer at Palo Alto Networks.

You just read about Palo Alto Networks. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
CloudGenix built Application-defined SD-WAN. What became of it?
CloudGenix brought Application-defined SD-WAN to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Palo Alto Networks for US$420M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Palo Alto Networks today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
