Seamless Integration of Webroot Threat Intelligence and Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall Enhances Enterprise Security

Webroot, the market leader in intelligent cybersecurity for endpoints and collective threat intelligence, recently announced an integration of the Webroot BrightCloud IP Reputation Service with the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall.

According to a Cyber Threat Intelligence report by the Ponemon Institute, almost half of respondents are increasing the amount of intelligence data they receive to prevent or mitigate the consequences of an attack. With a greater reliance on threat intelligence as a viable enterprise cybersecurity defense, Webroot extends the industry-leading capabilities of the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall by enabling organizations to seamlessly integrate highly accurate BrightCloud IP Reputation Service data to detect and block malicious incoming IPs.

“Providing enterprises with a customized and continuously updated feed of malicious IP addresses, Webroot BrightCloud IP Reputation Service for Palo Alto Networks can help organizations increase the ability to detect and block threats from penetrating their network,” said Chad Kinzelberg, senior vice president of business and corporate development at Palo Alto Networks.

“We are excited to expand upon our integration efforts with Palo Alto Networks,” said Mike Malloy, executive vice president of products and strategy at Webroot. “By leveraging the Webroot security capabilities of BrightCloud collective threat intelligence with the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall, customers will experience increased security efficacy and marked reductions in the time required to identify new and existing IP threats.”
