Partnership Further Secures Customers’ Sensitive Cloud-Based Content
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. & SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Box (NYSE:BOX), a leader in cloud content management, and Palo Alto
Networks® (NYSE: PANW), the next-generation security company,
today announced the expansion of their existing integration to now
automatically classify sensitive content and enforce policies to prevent
users from accidentally or intentionally sharing confidential
information.
The integration, offered through Box
Governance, is the result of
partnerships between Box and Palo Alto Networks, as well as other
cybersecurity industry leaders. Palo
Alto Networks Aperture™ SaaS security service delivers complete
visibility and granular enforcement across all user and data activity
within enterprise SaaS applications like Box, providing detailed
analysis and analytics on usage without requiring any additional
hardware or software.
Today’s organizations understand the high cost of a data breach and the
importance of securing personally identifiable information. According to
a study published in Dark
Reading, 45 percent of businesses believe their greatest security
risk comes from their own employees.
Organizations require a secure way to bring together the distributed
ecosystems of on-site and remote employees, customers, suppliers,
information and applications to enable collaboration and productivity.
To minimize the risk of data loss and protect sensitive information,
such as employee records and new product specifications,
cybersecurity must remain at the forefront of content strategies meant
to enable collaboration. Proactive file sharing restrictions and visual
file sensitivity indicators can help prevent or eliminate accidental
data leaks when enforced properly.
“As companies embark on their digital transformation, IT
administrators are building content strategies to enable the secure
flow and governance of business information throughout the extended
enterprise,” said Niall Wall, SVP, Business Development, Box. “Cloud
Content Management is the most secure way to bring the distributed
ecosystems together, and our integration with Palo Alto Networks is
another proof point of our commitment to providing industry-leading data
protection to our customers.”
“Tight integration with the Palo Alto Networks Aperture SaaS security
service will allow organizations to securely enable the use of Box by
their internal teams,” said Chad Kinzelberg, SVP, Business & Corporate
Development, Palo Alto Networks. “Our joint customers can now easily
control data sharing, prevent data exfiltration, and deliver real-time
enforcement for policy violations, without slowing the pace of business."
