The best part? You don't have to travel anywhere to participate. This webinar series is unrivaled in the industry, and our kickoff webcast (Oct. 19) will feature Palo Alto Networks CEO Mark McLaughlin. [Click here](http://connect.paloaltonetworks.com/prevention-week) to see the full lineup of webinars and to register. * Looking for a way to strengthen your trusted security advisor status with your customers? The new Lifecycle Security Review is your answer. Rebuilt from the ground up, the Security Lifecycle Review allows you to show your customers what applications, SaaS-based applications, URL traffic, content types, and known and unknown threats are currently traversing their network, and specifically highlight where potential risks exist. And the best part, you can now customize the Review with your company logo and information.

The Customer Care Upgrade Program was a successful incentive program we ran roughly a year ago to help fuel the conversion of our customer install base. The program provides customers with financial incentives in the form of hardware discounts and subscription/support credits to move from a PA-4000 Series to a PA-5000 Series or from a PA-2000 Series to a PA-3000 Series. The program will run until March 31, 2016.
