Palo Alto Networks has revealed a new hardware offering with built-in cybersecurity capabilities to help businesses protect remote workers from intrusion attempts and rogue software such as malware.

The company says its product is ideal for businesses of all sizes as they look to adapt to the new world of hybrid working, where employees are based both in the office and remotely.

One size fits all
Okyo Garde is designed to help companies of all sizes secure the wireless networks of their remote workforce.
Large companies can integrate Okyo Garde with Palo Alto’s cloud-based Prisma Access security platform to deliver a unified security policy management. On the other hand, small businesses can manage their Okyo Garde deployments through a smartphone app, which can manage configuration settings, and display alerts.
Businesses can issue Okyo Garde routers to its employees, and workers can use the device to create a second, separate private Wi-Fi network for personal use.
Okyo Garde subscriptions for small businesses start at $349/year and include a mesh-enabled Wi-Fi 6 system. US customers can pre-order the device today for delivery later in the fall.
