Globalgig has announced an enhanced partnership with Palo Alto Networks to improve its managed Secure Service Edge (SSE) offering. This collaboration aims to integrate advanced security measures and performance solutions to address the evolving needs of enterprise networks influenced by AI and edge computing.

The partnership recognizes that the demands of enterprise networking are changing, as organizations increasingly rely on technology for a secure and scalable approach to operations. According to Gartner, by 2026, 85% of organizations will rely on an SSE offering to secure their web and SaaS applications.

As businesses adapt to hybrid environments, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) frameworks are being adopted to combine networking and security. Research by Forrester indicates that organizations implementing Prisma Access have seen an ROI of 107% over three years, while also reducing the risk of data breaches.

Globalgig’s Orchestra Insight platform will enhance the partnership by offering capabilities such as AI-driven analytics and improved visibility. This unification of network and security management enables enterprises to optimize performance and effectively manage IT resources.

Steve Blacklock, vice president at Palo Alto Networks, stated, “Our partnership with Globalgig combines Palo Alto Networks AI-powered security technologies with Globalgig’s innovative network management expertise.” Gregg Rowe, chief channel officer at Globalgig, added that the partnership represents a key step in expanding their managed communication solutions.

This collaboration aims to provide businesses with enhanced protection, visibility, and control over their networks in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
