If Palo Alto Networks introduces endpoint DLP, it will significantly improve. Palo Alto already has its own Cortex platform. Integrating DLP functionality within the Cortex agent or even providing it as a separate agent and solution would be beneficial. Currently, Palo Alto has all the necessary mechanisms for DLP. It would be advantageous if they integrate these mechanisms into a single, lightweight agent. Many existing solutions in the market have heavy agents, which can deter organizations from implementing them. However, if Palo Alto offers a streamlined agent, it will make a comprehensive DLP solution more attractive and feasible for users.

Business development manager for Palo Alto Networks at Westcon-Comstor

For the moment, my customers say that the DLP of Palo Alto is a solution that relies on a third-party agency because DLP is something on which we get the platforms or the platforms to be used in general. DLP is so well integrated into an environment. I would like the tool to have more support than the other products in the market.
