#AskPANW @PaloAltoNtwks @nirzuk has PA become too big yet? How do you keep politics out and get things done?

John Furrier
@nickg902 one thing that kills politics or other dysfunctional BS is listening to customers.. they vote with the wallet
Nir Zuk
that's my job as the founder of the company (vs. my job as the CTO). It's a lot of hard work. I think the rate of innovation and our revenue growth both prove we are not too big yet
Palo Alto Networks
I am quoting @nickg902 http://twitter.com/nickg902/status/395607920378773504

With all the confusion with #Cloud computing should enterprises be more worried about location of their data or how they architect the cloud solution... private cloud vs hybrid..
Nir Zuk
I think there many security challenges, both network related and non-network related that need to be solved before public cloud becomes a viable solution for large enterprises
John Furrier
@iSocial_Fanz all top sites are going on perm. I just talked to the lead architect at Spotify and it's all on prem not cloud bc latency is issue not so much security
John Casaretto
@nirzuk Do you see upcoming new PCI 3.0 requirements and HIPAA updates as big driving opportunities in 2014
Nir Zuk
I think compliance is an important part of enterprise security spending while the focus has been and will continue to be the quality of the security rather than just compliance with doesn't always equate seucirty
John Casaretto That is true and a great response
John Furrier
How does the investment in security within the enterprise shifting from the edge to other areas to prevent intrusion detection etc
Nir Zuk
as attackers target end users as a waypoint to the data center, enterprises are realizing that they need to spend on the border between their users and the data center together with the border to the Internet

Last call for questions: @nirzuk will be with us for another 10 minutes, so keep 'em coming #AskPANW
John Furrier
Nir: What did you learn from Netscreen that you brought to Palo Alto Networks. Netscreen built a great product;
Nir Zuk
I think that everything you do uses a combination of all your past experiences. I am not sure I can put my finger on specific things I have learnt at NetScreen

#AskPANW @nirzuk Another pre-submit Q: Many network security vendors claim signatures are dead, do u agree?
Nir Zuk
i disagree. Signatures are still the only mechanism that can scan traffic at multi gig speeds with acceptable latency. I think that the new network security architecture changes how quickly *relevant* signatures get generated and delivered

@nirzuk Cagefight: WildFire vs FireEye - Winner?
Nir Zuk
the solution will win over the yet another firewall helper
John Casaretto Had to go there :) FE's Aziz said they had no real competition a while back - got to love the thrill of the sport
