Our
Academies

Our academies are built within the LEAP Program to provide more specialized training in key job areas.

Product Manager Academy

Pushing innovative ideas and products through development sounds rewarding, right? Product managers at Palo Alto Networks protect some of the world’s most sensitive data from constant threats by bringing together the needs of our clients with our engineer’s solutions.

As part of our Product Manager Academy, you’ll learn how to brainstorm, innovate, and disrupt the industry by creating roadmaps and product ideas that defend the world from digital dangers.

Sales Academy

Sales is a challenging career path. It’s all about building relationships, education, and persevering through rejection. It’s been said that “everyone is in sales,” so being able to stand out is key. How does Palo Alto Networks’ sales staff do that? Empathy. We care about the security of our clients, and how it keeps their business moving forward.

Join our Sales Academy to learn from the best cybersecurity sellers. Through in-depth training, you will learn to sell a portfolio of products, tell an authentic story, and build trusting relationships.

Systems Engineering Academy

As architects of cybersecurity, Palo Alto Network’s systems engineers survey the landscape, identify imminent threats, and collaborate with clients to blend existing products with never-before-used techniques, safeguarding our customers’ most valuable information.

You’ll join an elite cohort of recent technical college graduates for a two-year intense immersion into cybersecurity, Palo Alto Networks technologies, automation, and on-the-job learning.

WiCyS Career Fair Aims to Draw More Women to Cybersecurity

November 4, 2020

Though our in-person conference is held each spring and has proven a nice venue for networking and professional development, there was a need for an event that could connect companies with intern candidates during the fall when college students are seeking internship opportunities.

Competing for the Future

November 3, 2020

My main take-away in this competition regarding the security of the financial sector is that we must continue to insist that financial institutions invest even more in their security and strengthen intelligence sharing (given that most financial institutions are linked through systems like Swift — the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) because the threat is growing and the techniques are becoming more and more sophisticated.

Developing Women’s Leadership Potential

October 23, 2020

I started my career as an individual contributor and then, over time, developed into a manager and people leader. As much as I enjoyed the autonomy and flexibility of being an individual contributor, I was excited when I saw what I can achieve through others, and this motivated me to shift to a new gear in terms of my own work.

Discovering My Path

October 22, 2020

Surprisingly, I loved working remotely. I enjoyed being able to structure my own day rather than arriving at a designated time. I’m not exactly a morning person, and if I’d had to go to the office, I would have had to wake up early and then sit in traffic for 30 to 45 minutes just to be there on time.
