Our goal is to create an environment where we all win with precision.

Your Career

Threat actors continue to find ways to breach and disrupt organizations, making security a key boardroom conversation. Palo Alto Networks has built a brand and reputation as an industry-leading security vendor, making it one of the best companies to supercharge your career.

The landscape of cyber threats is continuously evolving, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) introducing new dimensions of risk:

• AI-powered Attacks:
  Adversaries are leveraging AI to craft more sophisticated and evasive attacks, including adaptive malware, advanced phishing campaigns, and autonomous exploit generation.
• Deepfake and Generative AI Abuse:
  The rise of generative AI creates new avenues for misinformation, social engineering, and highly convincing fake content, blurring the lines of digital trust.
• Automated Reconnaissance and Exploitation: AI enables threat actors to rapidly identify vulnerabilities and launch automated exploitation at unprecedented scale and speed.
• Evolving Evasion Techniques:
  Adversaries use AI to develop polymorphic code and advanced obfuscation, making traditional signature-based detection increasingly ineffective.
• Amplified Attack Surface and Speed: AI not only enhances existing threats but also accelerates the pace of attacks and expands the potential attack surface, demanding more dynamic and intelligent defense mechanisms.

As the Sr. Principal Product Manager at Palo Alto Networks, you will be responsible for defining and executing the strategic vision for the Advanced Threat Prevention security subscription, which is crucial for preventing sophisticated emerging attacks by continuously reimagining and innovating our IPS capabilities. You will bring to Palo Alto Networks exceptional communication, strategic thinking, and product leadership skills, combined with a deep technical background in cybersecurity.

Most importantly, you will possess an unwavering passion and focus on protecting our customers from the most advanced threats. You will lead and collaborate with some of the best security minds in the industry, leverage a vast install base of customers, and have access to some of the richest security data to drive insights that deliver transformative security outcomes for our customers.
