Palo Alto Networks have announced that it has completed its acquisition of Dig Security, a provider of Data Security Posture Management (DSPM).

The large volumes of data stored in the cloud require data security solutions that are purpose-built to handle the complexities of cloud environments.

Dig’s capabilities, integrated into Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud platform, will provide organisations with near-real-time data protection across the entire cloud estate.

“We are thrilled to welcome Dig to Palo Alto Networks,” said Nikesh Arora, chairman and CEO, Palo Alto Networks. “Public cloud and data are critical pieces of an enterprise’s digital footprint, and their importance is only increasing with the adoption of generative AI.

“As a result, CISOs must prioritise data protection as part of a comprehensive cloud security strategy. By integrating Dig’s DSPM capabilities into Prisma Cloud, we will provide customers with the critical data security capabilities and context they need to improve their overall cloud security posture.”
