Palo Alto Panorama M-700 - Network management device - 10GbE - front to back airflow - 2U - rack-mountable

Description

Consistent management

Panorama keeps enterprise users in mind. You can control your Internet edge as well as your private and public cloud deployments all from a single console. Panorama gives you consistent visibility and management of north-south and east-west traffic, whether it's hosted on-premises or in the cloud. It centrally manages devices and security configuration for all groups of firewalls across form factors (physical, virtual, cloud-delivered, and containerized). Panorama can be deployed via virtual appliances, the purpose-built appliances, or a combination of the two.

Centralized visibility and automation

Automated threat correlation, with a predefined set of correlation objects, cuts through the clutter of monstrous amounts of data. It identifies compromised hosts and correlates malicious behavior that would otherwise be lost in the noise. This reduces the dwell time of critical threats in your network. The clean, fully customizable Application Command Center (ACC) provides comprehensive insight into your current as well as historical network and threat data.

Simplified, powerful policy

Panorama is a security management solution that provides consistent rules in an ever-changing network and threat landscape. Manage your network security with a single security rule base for firewalls, threat prevention, URL filtering, application awareness, user identification, sandboxing, file blocking, access control, and data filtering. This crucial simplification, along with App-ID technology-based rules, dynamic security updates, and rule usage analysis, reduces administrative workload and improves your overall security posture.

Unmatched scale

Use a single highly available pair of Panorama appliances to manage up to 5,000 Next-Generation Firewalls, or use the Panorama Interconnect plugin to centralize configuration management and access control for tens of thousands of devices.

Comprehensive visibility and management

The ACC provides you an interactive, graphical view of applications, URLs, threats, data files, and patterns traversing your Palo Alto Networks firewalls. The ACC includes a tabbed view of network activity, threat activity, and blocked activity, and each tab includes pertinent widgets for better visualization of traffic patterns on your network. You can create custom tabs with widgets that enable you to drill down into the information most important to the administrator. The ACC provides a comprehensive, fully customizable view of current and historical data.

Reduced response times

The automated correlation engine built into the Next-Generation Firewall surfaces critical threats that may be hidden in your network. It includes correlation objects that identify suspicious traffic patterns or sequences of events that indicate malicious outcomes. Some correlation objects can identify dynamic patterns previously observed from malware samples in WildFire malware prevention service.

Simple policy control

Safely enabling applications means allowing access to specific applications and protecting them with specific policies for Threat Prevention and access control as well as file, data, and URL filtering. You can transform your bulky legacy rule base into an intuitive policy that strengthens security and takes much less time to manage. Panorama empowers you to set policy with a single security rule base and simplifies the process of importing, duplicating, or modifying rules across your network. The combination of global and regional administrative control over policies and objects lets you strike a balance between consistent security at the global level and flexibility at the regional level.

Easy-to-use, centralized management

Deploying hierarchical device groups ensures lower-level groups inherit the settings of higher-level groups. This streamlines central management and enables you to organize devices based on function and location without redundant configuration. Template stacking allows for streamlined configuration of networks and devices. Furthermore, a common user interface for Next-Generation Firewalls makes management intuitive. Features like Global Find, audit comments, universal unique identifier (UUID) for all rules, and tag-based rule grouping empower your IT administrators to take advantage of all the information in your network with ease.

Enhanced visibility and troubleshooting for mobile workers

GlobalProtect network security for endpoints extends Next-Generation Firewall capabilities to mobile workers. By leveraging Panorama, you can get greater visibility into user connection failures at all stages, use authentication logs to help you troubleshoot issues with user accounts, and enforce access control based on specific data in GlobalProtect logs.
