Partners — Palo Alto Networks

The Palo Alto platform, delivered by an identity-security partner

Palo Alto Networks is the platform enterprises consolidate onto — network security, cloud, security operations, and, since its acquisition of CyberArk, identity. As a certified Palo Alto services partner with deep privileged-access experience, we deploy it, integrate it, and run it.

Palo Alto Networks + Applied IAM

The platform enterprises consolidate onto — delivered properly

Palo Alto Networks is the global cybersecurity leader, built around a multi-platform strategy: Strata for network security, Prisma for cloud and secure access, and Cortex for security operations. With its acquisition of CyberArk — completed in February 2026 — identity security is now a core pillar, extending privileged access protection across human, machine, and AI-agent identities.

It's a powerful platform, and getting real value from it takes certified delivery, not just a license. That's where we come in. As a certified Palo Alto services partner — and longtime CyberArk practitioners — we're positioned to deliver the platform with an identity-first lens, integrate it with the systems around it, and operate it for you.

The platform

The Palo Alto Networks platform we work across

Four pillars, one platform. We lead with identity and connect it to the rest, so access context follows the user everywhere.

Identity Security

Privileged access (CyberArk)

With Palo Alto's acquisition of CyberArk, privileged access management is now a core pillar — and it's our home turf. We deploy and operate the identity-security platform and extend privileged protection across human, machine, and AI-agent identities.

Strata

Network security & NGFW

Strata is Palo Alto's network security family, built on its next-generation firewalls (NGFW). We help deploy and tune Strata NGFWs and policy so the network enforces identity-aware, least-privilege access — not just IP rules.

Prisma

Cloud & secure access (SASE)

Prisma Access delivers SASE — secure access service edge — for a work-from-anywhere workforce, and Prisma Cloud secures cloud workloads and posture. We help stand these up and wire them into your identity controls.

Cortex

Security operations (XSIAM)

Cortex unifies detection and response — XSIAM and XDR — into one security-operations platform and underpins managed detection and response. We feed identity and access signals into it so credential-based threats surface fast.

What we deliver

Palo Alto capabilities we implement

Deployed to secure baselines, integrated with your environment, and operated day to day.

Identity-first

Identity security delivery

Our core work: deploy and operationalize Palo Alto's identity-security platform — privileged access, secrets, and session security — to secure baselines, drawing on years of hands-on CyberArk delivery.

Integration

Identity across the platform

Wire identity into Cortex for detection and response and into Strata for network policy, so access context follows the user everywhere.

Deploy

Deployment & hardening

Stand up your Palo Alto footprint cleanly — secure configuration, sane policy, and onboarding in controlled waves rather than a big-bang rollout.

Consolidate

Migration & consolidation

Move off point tools and consolidate onto the platform, reducing vendor sprawl without losing the controls you depend on.

Operate

Managed operations

Optionally, we run it for you — monitoring, onboarding, tuning, and audit-ready reporting — on its own or within a broader managed IAM engagement.

Assess

Assessment & roadmap

Not sure where to start? We scope the right footprint, sequence the rollout by risk, and give you a plan your team can actually execute.

Our collaboration

How we deliver Palo Alto

From a clean deployment to a platform your team can run — or that we run for you.

1

Assess & license

We scope the right Palo Alto footprint and handle licensing.

2

Deploy & harden

We install and configure to secure baselines, then onboard in waves.

3

Integrate

We connect it to your directory, identity stack, SIEM, and the apps that depend on it.

4

Operate

Optionally, we run it day to day — monitoring, onboarding, and audit-ready reporting.

Questions

Palo Alto delivery, answered

Are you a certified Palo Alto services partner?
Yes — Applied IAM is an official, certified Palo Alto Networks services partner. We deliver the platform hands-on, from deployment through day-to-day operations.
How does Palo Alto's acquisition of CyberArk affect me?
Palo Alto completed its acquisition of CyberArk in February 2026, making identity security a core pillar of the platform and folding CyberArk's privileged-access capabilities into it. As longtime CyberArk practitioners, we're positioned to deliver that identity layer within Palo Alto — so your privileged-access program and the wider platform are delivered by one team.
Do you deliver the whole Palo Alto platform, or just identity?
We lead with identity security — where our depth is — and deliver and integrate the surrounding platform so access context carries across it. Tell us your environment and we'll scope exactly what fits.
Do you deploy Prisma Access and SASE?
Yes. Prisma Access is Palo Alto's SASE — secure access service edge — for securing a distributed, work-from-anywhere workforce. We help deploy it and connect it to your identity controls, so access decisions follow the user rather than the network location.
What is Cortex XSIAM?
Cortex XSIAM is Palo Alto's AI-driven security-operations platform, consolidating detection, investigation, and response (including XDR) and underpinning managed detection and response. We help feed identity and privileged-access signals into it so credential-based threats are caught faster.
What is a next-generation firewall (NGFW)?
A next-generation firewall inspects application traffic, users, and content — not just ports and IP addresses. Palo Alto's Strata NGFWs are the core of its network security, and we deploy and tune them to enforce identity-aware, least-privilege policy.
Do you manage Palo Alto after deployment?
Yes. We can hand it to your team, or operate it as a managed service — monitoring, onboarding, tuning, and audit-ready reporting — on its own or as part of a broader managed IAM engagement.
