Palo Alto Networks announced that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) selected Palo Alto Networks to secure its expanded remote workforce, its network of Internet of Medical Things "IoMTs" and the new Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) program. The VA will adopt Palo Alto Networks products in this multiyear agreement, supporting the VA's efforts to deliver seamless, secure services to U.S. veterans. With this agreement, Palo Alto Networks builds on a trusted, decade-long relationship with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

To secure the remote workforce expansion, the VA will leverage Palo Alto Networks' remote access solution.

The technology will also provide automated visibility into all of the IoMT devices in the VA's network.
