    "It is highly encouraging to receive recognition for our dedication. Our relationship with Palo Alto has been mutually beneficial. Their range of world class solutions has helped us provide the latest technologies to help both our new and existing customers overcome their security challenges", said Stephan Berner, Managing Director at help AG.

We continue to reaffirm our position as the top security specialist in the region and see Palo Alto Networks as a long term strategic partner in this endeavour."
