Pune-based KPIT adopts Palo Alto Networks' security platform

Global cybersecurity leader Palo Alto Networks on Thursday announced that Pune-based technology company KPIT has deployed its security operating platform, including its firewalls and network security management.

KPIT, that has nearly 12,000 employees, helps global corporations become productive, integrated and innovative.
