Key Security and Connectivity Features

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 internet of things (IoT) devices and make policy recommendations; is a 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 (SSL/TLS). 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 rules based on App-ID with Policy Optimizer built in, giving you a rule set that is more secure and easier to manage. 

Enforces Security for User Devices Anywhere While Adapting Policies 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 Malicious Activity Concealed in Encrypted Traffic

• Inspects and applies policy to SSL/TLS-encrypted traffic, both inbound and outbound, including for traffic that uses TLSv1.3 and HTTP/2.
• Offers rich visibility into TLS traffic, such as the amount of encrypted traffic, SSL/TLS 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, for example, 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 a network packet broker and optimize your network performance and reduce operating expenses. 

Best-in-Class Cloud-Delivered Security Services Powered by Precision AI

• The typical enterprise’s attack surface has grown significantly with the mass adoption of hybrid work, cloud, IoT, and SaaS. Furthermore, the threat landscape is rapidly intensifying due to the ability to easily access and use hacker-friendly tools and resources in their campaigns. Traditional network security solutions and approaches are no longer effective. With Palo Alto Networks Cloud-Delivered Security Services, customers can benefit from best-in-class, real-time security to help them protect all users, devices, and data in their network, regardless of location.
• Palo Alto Networks security services use the power of Precision AI® inline to stay ahead of threat actors and stop new and never-before-seen threats in real time. Through shared threat intelligence across over 70,000 customers worldwide, they have insights into emerging threats and can act proactively. Finally, seamless integration with NGFW and SASE eliminates security gaps and offers customers a single pane of glass to view and manage their security.
