Gartner has published its 2011 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls. Key points outlined in the report include:
* Palo Alto Networks was recognised as a leader.
* According to Gartner, vendors in the leaders' quadrant, "lead the market in offering new safeguarding features, providing expert capability, rather than treating the firewall as a commodity, and having a good track record of avoiding vulnerabilities in their security products".
* According to Gartner: "The enterprise network firewall market is undergoing a period of dynamic evolution, as effective next-generation firewalls are now increasingly necessary. Vendors that have addressed advanced targeted threats have seen gains in the market."
"We believe Gartner's report confirms that Palo Alto Networks is the innovator in network security at a time when changing threat conditions and changing business and IT processes are driving network security managers to demand more of their enterprise network firewalls." - Ren'e Bonvanie, Vice-President of Worldwide Marketing, Palo Alto Networks.
