Conflict-of-interest disclosure

I am an employee of Palo Alto Networks, the parent company of Unit 42, and therefore have a conflict of interest regarding this subject.

I created this draft rather than publishing an article directly because of that relationship. I have attempted to base the proposed article primarily on reliable, independent secondary sources and to keep the language neutral and encyclopedic.

I welcome review and changes by uninvolved Wikipedia editors and will not object to material being removed or rewritten where editors believe Wikipedia's sourcing, neutrality or notability policies require it.
