• The world’s first ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) enables you to prevent unknown threats,rnsee and secure everything—including the Internet of Things (IoT)—and reduce errors with automaticrnpolicy recommendations.rnThe controlling element of the PA-3400 Series is PAN-OS®, the same software that runs all Palo AltornNetworks NGFWs. PAN-OS natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats, and content,rnand then ties that traffic to the user regardless of location or device type. The application, content, andrnuser—in other words, the elements that run your business—then serve as the basis of your securityrnpolicies, resulting in improved security posture and reduced incident response time.

Key Security and Connectivity Features

ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewallrn

• Embeds machine learning (ML) in the core of the firewall to provide inline signatureless attackrnprevention for file-based attacks while identifying and immediately stopping never-before-seenrnphishing 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 andrnnatively integrated service on the NGFW Automates policy recommendations that save time and reduce the chance of human error.rnIdentifies and Categorizes All Applications, on All Ports, All the Time, with FullrnLayer 7 Inspection
• Identifies the applications traversing your network irrespective of port, protocol, evasive techniques,rnor encryption (TLS/SSL). In addition, it automatically discovers and controls new applications to keeprnpace 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,rndeny, schedule, inspect, and apply traffic-shaping.rn
•  Offers the ability to create custom App-ID™ tags for proprietary applications or request App-IDrndevelopment for new applications from Palo Alto Networks.
•  Identifies all payload data within the application (e.g., files and data patterns) to block malicious filesrnand thwart data exfiltration attempts.
•  Creates standard and customized application usage reports, including software-as-a-service (SaaS)rnreports 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 PolicyrnOptimizer, giving you a rule set that is more secure and easier to manage.
• Check out the App-ID tech brief for more information.rnEnforces Security for Users at Any Location, on Any Device, While AdaptingrnPolicy Based on User Activity
•  Enables visibility, security policies, reporting, and forensics based on users and groups—not just IPrnaddresses.
•  Easily integrates with a wide range of repositories to leverage user information: wireless LAN controllers,rnVPNs, directory servers, SIEMs, proxies, and more.rn
•  Allows you to define Dynamic User Groups (DUGs) on the firewall to take time-bound security actionsrnwithout waiting for changes to be applied to user directories
•  Applies consistent policies irrespective of users’ locations (office, home, travel, etc.) and devices (iOSrnand Android® mobile devices, macOS®, Windows®, Linux desktops, laptops; Citrix and Microsoft VDIrnand Terminal Servers).rn
•  Prevents corporate credentials from leaking to third-party websites and prevents reuse of stolenrncredentials by enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) at the network layer for any applicationrnwithout any application changes.rn
•  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 identityrnstores live, to quickly move towards a Zero Trust security posture with Cloud Identity Engine—anrnentirely new cloud-based architecture for identity-based security. Check out the Cloud IdentityrnEngine solution brief for more information.

Prevents Malicious Activity Concealed in Encrypted Traffic

•  Inspects and applies policy to TLS/SSL-encrypted traffic, both inbound and outbound, including forrntraffic that uses TLS 1.3 and HTTP/2.rn
• Offers rich visibility into TLS traffic, such as amount of encrypted traffic, TLS/SSL versions, cipherrnsuites, and more, without decrypting.rn
• Enables control over use of legacy TLS protocols, insecure ciphers, and misconfigured certificates tornmitigate risks.rn
•  Facilitates easy deployment of decryption and lets you use built-in logs to troubleshoot issues, such asrnapplications with pinned certificates.rn
•  Lets you enable or disable decryption flexibly based on URL category and source and destination zone,rnaddress, user, user group, device, and port, for privacy and regulatory compliance purposes.rn
•  Allows you to create a copy of decrypted traffic from the firewall (i.e., decryption mirroring) and sendrnit to traffic collection tools for forensics, historical purposes, or data loss prevention (DLP).
•  Allows you to intelligently forward all traffic (decrypted TLS, non-decrypted TLS, and non-TLS) tornthird-party security tools with Network Packet Broker and optimize your network performance andrnreduce operating expenses.rn
•  Refer to this decryption white paper to learn where, when and how to decrypt to prevent threats andrnsecure your business.

rnOffers Centralized Management and Visibility

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

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.rn
