Datanet Systems has made continuous investments in team development and Palo Alto Networks expertise. The company has an extensive team of experts holding 14 certifications in Palo Alto Networks solutions and has successfully executed numerous complex projects in security operations orchestration and automation with Palo Alto Networks, for clients, leaders in banking, software development, IT services, manufacturing, and automation sectors.

This partnership’s strengthening comes at a crucial time, as cybersecurity incidents rise and growing interest among Romanian organizations in enhancing their orchestration and automation capabilities. According to the National Cybersecurity Directorate, 20,000 to 30,000 cyberattacks are detected daily, with the average cost of a successful attack reaching approximately 750,000 lei.

By implementing Palo Alto Networks solutions, Datanet Systems is poised to help Romanian companies mitigate these risks and help manage the growing volume of security alerts requiring investigation. The Palo Alto Networks solutions will help enable security experts to move away from manual data processing to automating remediation measures and improving response efficiency.

 

„Cybersecurity is a top priority for Datanet Systems as we strive to provide our clients with robust support amidst rising attack incidents and ensuring compliance with the NIS 2 Directive. Our partnership with Palo Alto Networks is a critical component of this strategy. As a locally eligible Platinum partner, we have a large team of Palo Alto Networks certified technical experts available within Romania and have successfully delivered numerous complex projects in recent years. Elevating our partnership to Platinum status was a natural progression, enabling us to access early innovations, knowledge, and best practices. In 2023, cybersecurity solutions have become a major focus of our business, and we expect this trend to continue, projecting that it will exceed 15% of our turnover this year” states Dragoș Stroescu, Executive Director of Datanet Systems.

 

Palo Alto Networks solutions are distinguished by their ability to orchestrate and automate specific cybersecurity operations. These solutions integrate multiple security solutions, correlate data, and initiate necessary measures to remediate attack attempts. Therefore, Datanet has the capacity to integrate Palo Alto Networks solutions with over 850 applications and products from other vendors, providing comprehensive visibility across the entire IT environment.

Data indicates that using Palo Alto Networks solutions can increase the speed of remediation actions by up to 90% and reduce the number of investigated incidents by 75%. Some of the most common scenarios in which Datanet Systems utilizes these solutions include blocking phishing attacks, isolating malware infections at the end-user level, identifying and blocking unauthorized authentication attempts, and assessing critical vulnerabilities.

”NextWave partners play a critical role throughout the customer lifecycle, from the initial qualifying stage to ultimately ensuring successful deployment and adoption of our technology. As a NextWave Platinum Innovator, Datanet Systems has deep Palo Alto Networks expertise to help solve complex security challenges with robust solutions and services and is a cybersecurity advisor our customers can trust,” afirmă Patricia Murphy, VP EMEA & LATAM Ecosystems at Palo Alto Networks.
