“Net Friends first purchased six Palo Alto firewalls to protect our data centers and offices back in 2013, and we have been so thoroughly impressed by how they have stayed miles ahead of every other firewall or endpoint protection vendor in the market by prioritizing investments in security features,” said John Snyder, President, and CEO of Net Friends. “The partner support we have experienced with the Palo Alto Networks team is unparalleled, and thanks to their help, we have uncovered so many solutions we can bring to our customers.”
