Description

Advanced Threat Prevention:Stop known exploits, malware, spyware, and command-and-control

(C2) threats, while utilizing industry-first prevention of zero-day attacks - prevent 60% more unknown injection attacks and 48% more highly evasive command-and-control traffic than traditional IPS solutions.

Advanced WildFire

Ensure files are safe by automatically preventing known, unknown, and highly evasive malware 60X faster with the industry's largest threat intelligence and malware prevention engine.

Advanced URL filtering

Ensure safe access to the internet and prevent 40% more web-based attacks with the industry's first real-time prevention of known and unknown threats, stopping 88% of malicious URLs at least 48 hours before other vendors.

DNS security

Gain 40% more threat coverage and stop 85% of malware that abuses DNS for command and control and data theft without requiring changes to your infrastructure.

Enterprise DLP

Minimize risk of a data breach, stop out-of-policy data transfers, and enable compliance consistently across your enterprise with 2X greater coverage of any cloud-delivered enterprise DLP.

SaaS security

Stay ahead of the SaaS explosion with the industry's only Next-Generation CASB to automatically see and secure all apps across all protocols.

ML-powered next-generation firewall

Embeds machine learning (ML) in the core of the firewall to provide inline signatureless attack prevention for file-based attacks while identifying and immediately stopping never-before-seen phishing attempts. Leverages cloud-based ML processes to push zero-delay signatures and instructions back to the NGFW. Uses behavioral analysis to detect IoT devices and make policy recommendations; cloud-delivered and natively integrated service on the NGFW. Automates policy recommendations that save time and reduce the chance of human error.

Identifies and categorizes all applications, on all ports, all the time, with full layer 7 inspection

Identifies the applications traversing your network irrespective of port, protocol, evasive techniques, or encryption (TLS/SSL). In addition, it automatically discovers and controls new applications to keep pace with the SaaS explosion with SaaS Security subscription. Uses the application, not the port, as the basis for all your safe enablement policy decisions:allow, deny, schedule, inspect, and apply traffic-shaping. Offers the ability to create custom App-ID tags for proprietary applications or request App-ID development for new applications from Palo Alto Networks. Identifies all payload data within the application (e.g., files and data patterns) to block malicious files and thwart data exfiltration attempts. Creates standard and customized application usage reports, including software-as-a-service (SaaS) reports that provide insight into all sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS traffic on your network. Enables safe migration of legacy Layer 4 rule sets to App-ID-based rules with built-in Policy Optimizer, giving you a rule set that is more secure and easier to manage.

Enforces security for users at any location, on any device, while adapting policy based on user activity

Enables visibility, security policies, reporting, and forensics based on users and groups - not just IP addresses. Easily integrates with a wide range of repositories to leverage user information:wireless LAN controllers, VPNs, directory servers, SIEMs, proxies, and more. Allows you to define Dynamic User Groups (DUGs) on the firewall to take time-bound security actions without waiting for changes to be applied to user directories. Applies consistent policies irrespective of users' locations (office, home, travel, etc.) and devices (iOS and Android mobile devices; macOS, Windows, and Linux desktops and laptops; Citrix and Microsoft VDI; and terminal servers). Prevents corporate credentials from leaking to third-party websites and prevents reuse of stolen credentials by enabling multifactor authentication (MFA) at the network layer for any application without any application changes. Provides dynamic security actions based on user behavior to restrict suspicious or malicious users. Consistently authenticates and authorizes your users, regardless of location and where user identity stores live, to move quickly toward a Zero Trust security posture with Cloud Identity Engine - an entirely cloud-based architecture for identity-based security.

Prevents malicious activity concealed in encrypted traffic

Inspects and applies policy to TLS/SSL-encrypted traffic, both inbound and outbound, including for traffic that uses TLS 1.3 and HTTP/2. Offers rich visibility into TLS traffic, such as amount of encrypted traffic, TLS/SSL versions, cipher suites, and more, without decrypting. Enables control over use of legacy TLS protocols, insecure ciphers, and misconfigured certificates to mitigate risks. Facilitates easy deployment of decryption and lets you use built-in logs to troubleshoot issues, such as applications with pinned certificates. Lets you enable or disable decryption flexibly based on URL category, source and destination zone, address, user, user group, device, and port, for privacy and regulatory compliance purposes. Allows you to create a copy of decrypted traffic from the firewall (i.e., decryption mirroring) and send it to traffic collection tools for forensics, historical purposes, or data loss prevention (DLP). Allows you to intelligently forward all traffic (decrypted TLS, undecrypted TLS, and non-TLS) to third-party security tools with network packet broker and optimize your network performance and reduce operating expenses.

Offers centralized management and visibility

Benefits from centralized management, configuration, and visibility for multiple distributed Palo Alto Networks NGFWs (irrespective of location or scale) through Panorama network security management in one unified user interface. Streamlines configuration sharing through Panorama with templates and device groups and scales log collection as logging needs increase. Enables users, through the Application Command Center (ACC), to obtain deep visibility and comprehensive insights into network traffic and threats.

Maximize your security investment and prevent business disruption with AIOPs

AIOps for NGFW delivers continuous best practice recommendations customized to your unique deployment to strengthen your security posture and get the most out of your security investment. Intelligently predicts firewall health, performance, and capacity problems based on ML powered by advanced telemetry data. It also provides actionable insights to resolve the predicted disruptions.

IoT security

Safeguard every "thing" and implement Zero Trust device security 20X faster with the industry's smartest security for smart devices.

Enables SD-WAN functionality

Allows you to easily adopt SD-WAN by simply enabling it on your existing firewalls. Enables you to safely implement SD-WAN, which is natively integrated with Palo Alto's security.
