"Organizations of any size that desire a strong intelligence-led incident response service should consider using Palo Alto Networks for their incident response needs."

The threat landscape is growing more complex as attacks increase in speed, scale and sophistication, especially as attackers leverage AI. In this high-stakes landscape, organizations need a trusted IR partner who can help them proactively prepare for, respond to and recover from incidents as quickly as possible.

Palo Alto Networks is proud to be recognized as a Leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Incident Response Services. We believe this recognition highlights our unique ability to bring together threat intelligence, technology and incident response, helping clients not only recover but also emerge stronger and more resilient.

We're honored to receive this recognition, which for us underscores our innovative work in these key areas:

• Threat-led response fueled by AI and automation allows Unit 42 IR teams to leverage Palo Alto Networks' threat intel to accelerate root cause analysis, containment and threat actor eradication.
• Tight integration with Palo Alto Networks' technology stack shortens investigation time, reduces exposure and improves outcomes, delivering efficiency gains across IR workflows to stop attacks and accelerate recovery time.
• Outcomes that drive transformation and resilience, not just recovery to help clients transform their security posture, incident readiness and resiliency to improve their security posture against future threats.
