PaloAlto Acquires Talon Security

Palo Alto is set to acquire a secure web browser provider, Talon Cyber Security.

Talon enables organisations to secure all work activity via an Enterprise Browser without touching the personal usage of the device or impacting user privacy.

Talon’s technology will be incorporated into its fast-growing secure access service edge platform, Prisma SASE. Talon offers a secure Chro­mium-based web browser aimed at helping to protect organisations with hybrid environments.

Israel-based Talon was founded in 2021 by CEO Ofer Ben-Noon and CTO Ohad Bobrov. The pair of founders will “continue leading their teams when they join the Prisma SASE team at Palo Alto Networks after closing,” Palo Alto Networks said in a news release.

Talon enables organisations to secure all work activity via an Enterprise Browser without touching the personal usage of the device or impacting user privacy.

Integrating Talon with Prisma SASE will enable Palo Alto Networks to securely connect all users and devices to all applications, including private applications, and apply consistent security no matter who the user is and what device they use for work.
