Palo Alto Networks was named a Challenger in the inaugural 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge (SSE) report, recognized for its ability to execute.

This report represents the first time Gartner has evaluated SWG, CASB, ZTNA, and FWaaS point products collectively known as the security service edge (SSE). The SSE represents half of a comprehensive secure access service edge (SASE) architecture, which Gartner defines as the convergence of network and security as service capabilities, such as SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, NGFW, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).

A complete SASE architecture provides organizations with an agile approach to securing their users, applications, and traffic everywhere.

Read the report to better understand why SSE is an integral part of a complete SASE architecture.
