Authentic8, provider of Silo, announced it has become a Palo Alto Networks technology partner and unveiled its integration with the Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access cloud-delivered security platform.

The integration combines Silo's zero trust web browsing with the secure web gateway capabilities of Prisma Access to deliver comprehensive and seamless secure remote access to business resources, shielding users, devices and applications from malicious web content.

IT, in turn, gains back full control over the handling of sensitive data by governing access through policies that follow the user on any computer, network, or application.

Ramesh Rajagopal, Co-founder and President of Authentic8 Inc., comments, "The web creates a large attack surface for organizations as it connects trusted internal infrastructure and cloud applications to untrusted external resources and threats. As a Palo Alto Networks Technology Partner, we're excited to bring Silo's isolated workspace approach to our mutual customers and to continue to invest in further points of integration."

With this integration, Prisma Access can now redirect high-risk requests to the Silo Web Isolation Platform so organizations can confidently provide employees with access to personal web resources, such as social media and communications, as well as work-related content from sites that would otherwise be blocked by IT security.

These Silo capabilities are also key to providing access to corporate web applications and data to external parties.
