It's been another exciting year here at Palo Alto Networks -- chock full of big news, interesting events, and groundbreaking research. Let's take a look back at some of the top-performing content and most interesting news from the past year.

Announcements & Accolades

We had no shortage of announcements and accolades in 2015, which made it hard to track down the top announcements of the year. But, after much debate, we narrowed it down to two key milestones.
