In the March 2025 edition of the Always Innovating blog, Palo Alto Networks showcases our continued leadership in cybersecurity through cutting-edge advancements in threat detection, quantum security, and medical IoT protection. This month's highlights reflect our commitment to staying ahead of emerging threats and redefining what's possible in network security. From leveraging AI to enhance real-time threat detection to pioneering developments in quantum-resistant encryption and expanding protections for increasingly connected medical devices, we are always innovating to ensure our customers are secure—today and in the future.
We recently published three technical blogs highlighting new detections in Advanced URL Filtering, focusing on threats such as deepfakes, HTTP Refresh Header-based Phishing, and LLM-generated malicious content. These blogs emphasize the importance of real-time content inspection and the use of machine learning to detect subtle anomalies, particularly those associated with deepfakes. They also illustrate how threat actors are leveraging generative AI to create convincing, grammatically flawless content that makes traditional detection methods less effective. Through behavioral analysis and continuous adaptation, Advanced URL Filtering empowers organizations to stay ahead of these evolving AI-driven threats. Together, these blogs reflect the platform’s commitment to proactive, intelligent web protection against the latest adversarial tactics.
Quantum Computers are expected to become commercially available within the next 5 years, and a Cryptoanalytically Relevant Quantum Computer will be able to threaten existing cryptography. Specifically, public key infrastructure (PKI) uses classical encryption ciphers such as RSA and ECDHE, which are the most widely used forms of cryptography for enterprise network traffic. To address this threat, security researchers have developed post-quantum cryptography (PQC) over the last few years, which will resist both classical and quantum computers. To be quantum-safe before quantum computers become a reality, organizations will need to migrate existing encryption over to PQCs. Recently, we launched a Quantum Security Live Community page where Palo Alto Networks NGFW customers can discuss issues and find answers to questions related to migration to post-quantum security. Join our Live Community and engage with other Palo Alto Networks experts from the user community.
As connected medical devices become more integral to patient care, securing them is more critical than ever. Palo Alto Networks is advancing Medical IoT protection with new innovations that deliver deeper visibility, smarter threat detection, and automated policy enforcement—without disrupting clinical workflows. These enhancements help healthcare organizations safeguard patient data and device integrity while maintaining compliance and ensuring uninterrupted care.
We recently published a blog on Medical IoT Security, highlighting new capabilities designed to protect vulnerable medical devices without disrupting patient care.
Our recent innovations include:
Additionally, new features like an improved Query Builder combined with Strata Copilot simplify device security posture management and compliance reporting, making it easier for healthcare organizations to proactively manage their medical IoT security. These advancements help reduce the attack surface, improve operational resilience, and enhance overall security for our healthcare customers.
As the cybersecurity landscape becomes increasingly complex, staying ahead requires innovation on all fronts—from AI-driven threat detection to quantum-ready encryption and tailored IoT protections. At Palo Alto Networks, we’re not just keeping up, we're leading the charge. Our commitment to driving proactive, intelligent solutions that evolve with emerging threats is unwavering. We encourage you to explore our technical blogs and engage with our growing community to stay informed, connected, and most importantly, secure. With us, you can be confident that you're in good hands.
Stay innovative. Stay secure.
Until next time.
