Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, announced it has completed its acquisition of Cider Security (Cider), a pioneer in application security (AppSec) and software supply chain security. Modern applications are developed rapidly through continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, but security at this stage of the application lifecycle is inconsistent, siloed or worse: simply absent. According to Gartner, by 2025, 45% of organizations worldwide will have experienced attacks on their software supply chains, a three-fold increase from 2021. With the addition of Cider’s cutting-edge capabilities, Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud platform helps customers “shift security left” to proactively prevent threats and vulnerabilities before applications are deployed in production cloud environments.
“We are thrilled to officially welcome Cider Security to Palo Alto Networks,” said Nikesh Arora, chairman and CEO, Palo Alto Networks. “Cider’s technology provides deep visibility and analysis of the tools and processes that are being used throughout the application development lifecycle, resulting in the ability to identify and remediate critical risks at every step. This is consistent with Prisma Cloud’s shift left security strategy, as we continue offering innovative solutions that help protect our customers from emerging threats.”
