Palo Alto Networks renews Platinum Partnership

Team Forces is proud to announce that global cybersecurity leader Palo Alto Networks has renewed its Platinum Sponsorship for another year, reaffirming a powerful partnership dedicated to improving the lives of the Armed Forces community.

Maj Gen Lamont Kirkland CBE, CEO Team Forces, said: “We are absolutely delighted that Palo Alto Networks has renewed its Platinum partnership with Team Forces. Its continued support demonstrates a genuine commitment to the Armed Forces community and the values of teamwork, resilience and determination that define it. Together we will continue to create life-changing opportunities through sport, challenge and adventure, helping individuals rebuild confidence, improve wellbeing and achieve extraordinary things.”

Team Forces works across all branches of the Armed Forces community, supporting serving personnel, veterans and families. Through participation in sport and adventurous activity, individuals are able to push their limits, develop new skills and rediscover confidence during periods of recovery, transition or personal challenge.

Palo Alto Networks’ support of our military community will help to change lives for the better. The company is an ideal partner as it has a long history of supporting veterans and many of its employees have a military background. These individuals play an important role in defending organisations from the most demanding threats of our age. Veterans embody leadership, adaptability, problem solving, teamwork, and commitment to help deliver a safer digital future.

Helmut Reisinger, CEO of EMEA at Palo Alto Networks, said: “During our time supporting Team Forces, we have seen many examples of the inspiring work it delivers. We’re excited to continue our contribution towards the amazing achievements of serving personnel, reservists and veterans. As a Military Friendly® Employer, we are honoured to continue supporting veterans and the valuable leadership qualities that they possess.”

As a Platinum Sponsor, Palo Alto Networks will support a wide range of Armed Forces sports and activities, while also contributing to the ‘Team Forces Good Causes Fund‘.  This fund provides grants to Armed Forces groups and communities – including Wounded, Injured and Sick (WIS) veterans – enabling them to undertake challenging and adventurous activities that build confidence, resilience and camaraderie.

The renewal of this partnership ensures that even more members of the Armed Forces community will have access to transformative experiences that inspire achievement, strengthen recovery and foster a lifelong spirit of adventure.

Team Forces extends its sincere thanks to Palo Alto Networks for their continued support and looks forward to another year of working together to deliver real and lasting impact for those who serve.
