Forrester names Palo
Alto Networks a
Leader in Attack
Surface Management

Ranked highest in the Strategy category of all evaluated vendors.

The Forrester Wave™: Attack Surface
Management Solutions, Q3 2024
The ever-changing attack surface demands ongoing innovation to discover, prioritize
and respond to threats almost instantly. The smart choice? Cortex Xpanse®. It
proactively finds and fixes exposures on your internet-connected assets before
attackers can exploit them.
Forrester Research ranks Palo Alto Networks as a Leader in its inaugural report, “The
Forrester Wave™: Attack Surface Management Solutions, Q3 2024.” We believe this
recognition further affirms Palo Alto Networks position as the Leader in security
operations center (SOC) transformation with our AI-powered Cortex platform.
Cortex Xpanse was recognized with the top vendor score in the Strategy
category, receiving the highest possible scores for Vision, Innovation and Roadmap criteria.
Three key ways we believe Cortex Xpanse has earned this recognition:
  • Vision to be the end-to-end solution for asset discovery, risk prioritization and
    risk reduction.
  • Innovation in delivering best-of-breed ASM capabilities both as a stand-alone
    product or through a unified SecOps platform.
  • Excellence in remediation prioritization, automation and reporting.
The data tells the whole story. Get the research and contact us to hear why we think
that Xpanse should be on your radar.
