Stratus The Stratus ztC Edge is an industrial-grade, Class I Division 2 certified computing platform. With its built-in virtualization, optimized security protocols, automated protection, field serviceability, and a suite of complementary services, this platform excels at seamlessly integrating diverse OT and security solutions in remote and understaffed locations. Its capabilities empower companies to enhance p roductivity while effectively minimizing the risks associated with downtime and cyberattacks.
Palo Alto Networks
As operations evolve through modernization and digitalization, the natural progression is for computing to move toward the edge. This broadens the attack surface, intensifying the need for additional hardware and software to bolster security. However, the deployment, management, and support of such infrastructure can be intricate and costly.
The Palo Alto Networks VM-Series virtual firewall consistently protects public and private clouds, virtualized data centers, and branch environments by delivering inline network security and threat prevention. Public cloud platforms and software-defined network solutions lack the threat prevention capabilities needed to keep your environment safe. VM- Series virtual firewalls augment your security posture with the industry-leading threat prevention capabilities of the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall in a VM form factor, making it automatable, scalable, and easily deployed.
