Palo Alto Offering for non profits

Johndbabio1 — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 01:10:22 GMT

Hi, I am curious why palo alto networks does not have a "security for good program" or donation program for non profits?

Palo Alto is a large company and I think it would be an awesome move for them.

Some of the companies that have one are

Cisco and Cisco Meraki

New Relic

Microsoft

Splunk

Tenable (Nessus)

AWS

Symantec

Avast

@Johndbabio1,

Generally speaking, I've seen PAN do higher discount percentages with non-profits on hardware purchases then what other organizations will receive. Some I'm familiar with actually find it more cost effective to replace hardware ever 3-years than simply renewing subscription licenses due to how PAN discounts hardware purchases over software renewals.

I'm not aware of PAN having anything that matches something like Cisco's grant programs for NGOs that goes so far as to provide free hardware and subscriptions. I believe that a larger discount is as much as you can expect in that regard.

Who would you have to work with for something like this? Ive spoke with sales people in the past but no one has mentioned any discounts or anything in regards to non profit.

Does anyone have any resources? I find it interesting no one is giving any info for this.
