Compare Datto Secure Edge vs. Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention

Datto Secure Edge serves as the premier cloud-managed secure access solution tailored for the growing remote and hybrid workforce. Our platform is designed to streamline network access while enhancing security, enforcing policies, and offering a more effective alternative to conventional VPNs, ensuring an improved networking experience for users. As remote work continues to rise, it brings forth new cybersecurity threats that traditional VPNs are unable to adequately address. To combat this, organizations must implement comprehensive strategies, including remote access security, effective device management, data protection, and network segmentation. By integrating the strengths of networking and security, SASE simplifies the connection of users and devices to essential applications and data, guaranteeing a safe digital environment. Moreover, with advanced networking offerings such as Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) and SaaS acceleration, alongside robust security measures like Next-Gen Firewall (NGFW) and Secure Web Gateway (SWG), businesses can confidently navigate the complexities of modern connectivity. This innovative approach not only safeguards sensitive information but also enhances overall operational efficiency.

Organizations are increasingly confronted with a diverse range of attacks from threat actors motivated by factors such as financial gain, ideological beliefs, or dissatisfaction within their own ranks. The methods employed by these attackers are continuously advancing, rendering traditional Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) inadequate in safeguarding organizations effectively. To combat intrusions, malware, and command-and-control operations throughout their lifecycle, Threat Prevention enhances the security features of our next-generation firewalls, which defend the network from sophisticated threats by meticulously identifying and examining all traffic, applications, users, and content, across every port and protocol. Daily updates from threat intelligence are systematically gathered, sent to the next-generation firewall, and acted upon by Threat Prevention to neutralize all potential threats. By automatically blocking known malware, vulnerability exploits, and command-and-control activities, organizations can minimize resource expenditure, complexity, and latency while leveraging their existing hardware and security teams. With these robust measures in place, organizations can significantly bolster their defense against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
