[{"type":"text","content":"Nova introduces new innovations to help stop zero-day threats, simplify security architectures, and reduce the risk of costly misconfigurations\nSANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyber threats continue to increase in volume and complexity with threat actors developing new ways to avoid detection — including highly evasive malware. To help organizations outpace these evolving threats, Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced PAN-OS® 11.0 Nova, the latest version of its industry leading PAN-OS software, unleashing 50+ product updates and innovations. Amongst them are the new Advanced WildFire® cloud-delivered security service that brings unprecedented protection against evasive malware and the Advanced Threat Prevention (ATP) service which now protects against zero-day injection attacks.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\"We've observed a significant increase in unique malware samples over the last year along with an increasing level of malware sophistication. A new approach is required to detect this advanced malware,\" said Anand Oswal, senior vice president, Network Security, Palo Alto Networks. \"PAN-OS 11.0 Nova is a leap forward in network security. It stops 26% more zero-day malware than traditional sandboxes; detects 60% more injection attacks; simplifies security architecture; and helps organizations adopt cybersecurity best practices. The bottom line is that Nova helps keep organizations one step ahead of attackers.\"\nSecurity against Zero Day Threats\nAdvanced WildFire: Modern malware is highly evasive and sandbox-aware. To solve this problem, sandboxes need to continuously evolve to thwart analysis-resistant evasion techniques. The new Advanced WildFire service builds upon its custom hardened hypervisor to introduce radical new capabilities, such as intelligent run-time memory analysis combined with stealthy observation and automated unpacking to stay hidden from malware and defeat advanced evasions. These new capabilities enable Advanced WildFire to stop more highly evasive zero-day malware than traditional sandboxes.\nAdvanced Threat Prevention (ATP): The enhanced ATP service reimagines the intrusion prevention system (IPS) with industry-first inline capabilities for stopping zero-day injection attacks. Injection attacks — one of the top attacks on the OWASP \"Top...
