Network security company Palo Alto Networks has appointed its first New Zealand employee, former Katana Networks operator Steve Rielly.

Katana will be going ‘into hibernation’ so Rielly can focus 100% on his role as business development manager.

The company’s existing Palo Alto customers will be passed on to channel partners, so there will be zero conflict in the changeover.

Check out Rielly’s LinkedIn page here.
