China Opens a Cybersecurity Review Into Palo Alto Networks
Beijing opened a formal review that could chill Palo Alto Networks’ business in China and warns other foreign security vendors they may face scrutiny.

- Reviews can stretch on with little public explanation, leaving firms in limbo, as the process serves as a warning that even companies guarding sensitive networks are fair game.
