News

Talon Cyber Security, founded in 2021 by Ofer Ben-Noon and Ohad Bobrov, is a pioneer in secure enterprise browser technology. The company's flagship product, TalonWork, is a browser-based cybersecurity solution designed to simplify endpoint security for organizations with distributed workforces. Built on Chromium, TalonWork provides secure access to corporate applications and data across various devices and operating systems, whether managed or unmanaged. The browser incorporates native security features such as authentication, data loss prevention, and Zero Trust controls, while offering deep visibility into browser and application activity for security teams.

In August 2022, Talon launched Talon Extension, an add-on solution for securing organizational activities within the browser. The company's innovative approach to cybersecurity earned it the title of "Most Innovative startup" at the RSA 2022 global cyber conference in San Francisco. Talon's technology addresses the growing challenge of securing access to enterprise applications and data in an era where work is increasingly conducted through browsers and SaaS applications.

In November 2023, Palo Alto Networks announced its intention to acquire Talon Cyber Security. While the exact purchase amount was not officially disclosed, it was estimated to be around USD 625 million. This acquisition is expected to enhance Palo Alto Networks' Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution by extending protection to both managed and unmanaged devices. Following the acquisition, Talon's co-founders are set to continue leading their teams as part of Palo Alto Networks' Prisma SASE team.

Key customers and partnerships

Talon Cyber Security has established partnerships with prominent companies in the cybersecurity industry. In 2022, the company announced partnerships with CrowdStrike and Microsoft, two leaders in endpoint security. These collaborations aim to enhance the integration of Talon's secure enterprise browser with existing security infrastructure.
