About
Coalition is a San Francisco-based cyber insurance company that combines insurance coverage with proactive cybersecurity tools and services. Unlike traditional insurers who only pay claims after a breach, Coalition provides policyholders with continuous security scanning of their attack surface, alerts on newly discovered vulnerabilities in their technology stack, and incident response support when threats emerge — before a claim is filed. This active insurance model aligns Coalition's incentives with preventing losses, not just paying them. Coalition underwrites cyber liability, technology E&O, and crime coverage for businesses of all sizes and operates as both an insurer and a managing general agent (MGA) in multiple markets. Founded in 2017, Coalition raised over $750M at a $5B valuation in 2022, backed by investors including Index Ventures, General Atlantic, and Valor Equity Partners. It is one of the fastest-growing cyber insurers globally.

About
Palo Alto Networks, Inc. is a Santa Clara, California-based cybersecurity platform company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: PANW) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — providing network security, cloud security, and AI-driven security operations through three integrated security platforms: Strata (network security — next-generation firewalls, SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access), Prisma Cloud (cloud security posture management, cloud workload protection, CSPM/CWPP), and Cortex (AI-driven security operations — XSIAM extended security intelligence and automation management, XDR endpoint detection and response, XSOAR security orchestration) through approximately 15,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024 (ending July 2024), Palo Alto Networks reported revenues of $8.0 billion (+16% year-over-year), with next-generation security Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR — Prisma Cloud and Cortex subscriptions) growing 42% to $4.2 billion as large enterprise and government customers consolidated security toolsets onto Palo Alto Networks' platform versus maintaining dozens of point solution security vendors. CEO Nikesh Arora (joined 2018 from SoftBank as Chairman and CEO) has executed the "platformization" strategy — convincing large enterprise security buyers to replace 10-15 individual security vendors (email security, endpoint protection, cloud workload protection, network detection) with a consolidated Palo Alto Networks platform contract that provides 80% of point-solution capabilities at 50% of the total cost — using the first-year transition economics to accelerate platform adoption through deferred commitment offers (paying a lower platform price in year 1 in exchange for multi-year platform commitment in years 2-4).
