Continuous Security with Palo Alto + SecureW2

Leverage Palo Alto insights to ensure only trusted, compliant devices maintain network and application access.

Every device carries some level of risk, but that risk changes constantly. By ingesting Palo Alto's risk scores, SecureW2 ensures that network access reflects a device’s current security posture and not just its state at enrollment. Certificates are only valid as long as the device remains trustworthy, enabling continuous policy enforcement.

How SecureW2 + Palo Alto Enhances Your Security

Risk-Driven Network Access

 Network policies that automatically adapt to Palo Alto's risk signals and threat detections in real-time.

Real-Time Automation

Continuous Device Trust

Enforce certificate-based access only for devices that remain healthy and compliant, even after onboarding.

Ongoing Assurance

Automated Remediation

Replace manual security actions by automatically denying access and enforcing policy changes based on Palo Alto events.

Immediate Containment

Top SecureW2 + Palo Alto Use Cases

Automate Network Access & Segmentation via Palo Alto Signals

Enable automated network access control and segmentation for devices based on real-time threat intelligence from Palo Alto.

Implementation Steps
  • 1 SecureW2's Cloud PKI integrates with Palo Alto to receive real-time threat signals.
  • 2 The Dynamic Policy Engine correlates these risk signals with identity and device context.
  • 3 Access policies are automatically updated based on the combined information.
  • 4 Devices are segmented into appropriate VLANs based on their current security posture.
Expected Outcomes

  • Automated, policy-driven network segmentation.

  • Reduced attack surface and lateral movement.

  • Immediate quarantine of compromised devices.

  • Continuous validation of device and user trust.

Validate Device Status & Posture During Certificate Issuance

Secure and automate certificate issuance with real-time device and posture intelligence

Implementation Steps
  • 1 A device initiates a certificate request to SecureW2
  • 2 SecureW2's Dynamic PKI queries Palo Alto for the device's current posture and compliance status.
  • 3 The policy engine evaluates the device's health and other attributes
  • 4 Based on the policy evaluation, a certificate is either issued or denied.
Expected Outcomes

  • Ensures that only trusted and compliant devices receive certificates.

  • Reduced risk of rogue or compromised devices accessing the network.

  • Automated, policy-driven certificate issuance without manual oversight.

  • Strengthened security posture in line with DeviceTrust principles.

Webhook-based Certificate Lifecycle Automation

Leverage webhooks and automate the entire certificate lifecycle—from issuance to revocation.

Implementation Steps
  • 1 Palo Alto detects a change in a user or device's status
  • 2 The platform sends a real-time webhook or eventhook to the SecureW2 Dynamic PKI.
  • 3 SecureW2's policy engine receives the signal and instantly triggers remediation
  • 4 The certificate lifecycle is automatically maintained
Expected Outcomes

  • Instant certificate revocation for compromised or deprovisioned devices.

  • Reduced security risks from non-compliant or untrusted endpoints.

  • Elimination of manual certificate management tasks.

  • Continuously enforced DeviceTrust policies in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SecureW2 and Palo Alto integration?

This integration connects SecureW2’s Dynamic PKI and policy engine with Palo Alto's risk signals. It turns device risk assessments into automated certificate issuance, updates, or revocations—ensuring only compliant, trusted devices retain access to your network and applications.

Why is this integration important for my organization?

This integration helps automate your security processes. Instead of relying on manual actions, it uses real-time data to automatically manage device access, which helps prevent breaches and simplifies your IT workload

What information from Palo Alto does SecureW2 use?

SecureW2 uses the "Overall Assessment" value, which is considered the device's risk score. It can also use other attributes like the device's serial number, operating system, and a unique agent ID.

How does the integration handle policy changes?

The integration uses webhooks to automatically update access policies. This means that if a device's risk score changes or a user's status is altered in Palo Alto, SecureW2 is notified instantly and can automatically apply the correct network policy, ensuring security is always up to date.

Can I use this for non-corporate devices?

Yes, this integration can also support BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). It allows for a simplified and secure onboarding process for personal devices, ensuring they are automatically validated for compliance and risk before being granted network access, without requiring an agent.
