The Insight award reflects the company's strengths in using Palo Alto Networks' cloud-delivered secure access service edge (SASE) solutions to help clients modernize their security infrastructure in today's increasingly cloud-first and distributed environment. Insight leverages Palo Alto Networks' Prisma AccessTM to provide secure access to clients' branch, remote and mobile users, including the use of Prisma Access' global network of more than 100 locations in 76 countries to enable secure low-latency access across all of an organization's public cloud, SaaS and data center applications.

"Their offerings are becoming an integral part of the security fabric for many of our clients in a world where conventional firewalls, VPNs and proxies no longer offer sufficient protection for users, applications or corporate networks."
