Palo Alto Networks Scenes from RSA 2014: Day 2

After yesterday’s action-packed RSA 2014 kickoff, today’s schedule was off and running right from the start.

We announced the next phase of our integration with VMware, including a new VM-Series model, the VM-1000-HV, specifically designed for use with VMware’s NSX platform.

The RSA expo hall opened a few hours later and the Palo Alto Networks booth (#3433) was buzzing soon after. Check out the following video for a look at our bigger, better RSA booth:

Scott Simkin, our Senior Manager, Cybersecurity, discussed the Palo Alto Networks security platform story, the breakthrough visibility of unknown malware and zero-day exploits we provide in WildFire, and other hot topics during a tightly-packed, standing-room-only session in the RSA expo hall briefing center. We also caught up with Scott to get his take on Palo Alto Networks differentiation and the current threat landscape.
