Palo Alto Next-Generation Firewall

Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall is a next-generation firewall platform that analyses network traffic not by port and protocol alone, but by application, user, content and threat context. It delivers application control, IPS, URL filtering, malware prevention, SSL inspection, DNS security and advanced threat prevention in physical, virtual and cloud form factors.

Detailed visibility of applications and users makes it possible to apply precise policies matched to business need, rather than broad network permissions. Bringing several security functions together under the same policy and management structure reduces operational complexity. The organization can stop known and unknown threats at the network layer, strengthen segmentation, and provide consistent security across data centre, branch and cloud environments.
