Palo Alto Networks' Next-Generation Firewalls
 
 
Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewalls enable enterprises to identify and control applications, users, and content—not just ports, IP addresses, and packets—using three unique identification technologies: App-ID, User-ID, and Content-ID. These identification technologies allow enterprises to securely enable application usage using business-relevant concepts, instead of following the traditional "all-or-nothing" approach offered by traditional port-blocking firewalls used in many security infrastructures.
 
Core Technologies
 
  • App-ID
    Classify all traffic, on all ports, all the time—irrespective of protocol, encryption or evasive tactic.
  • User-ID
    Securely enable applications on your network based on users and groups—not just IP addresses.
  • Content-ID
    Real-time content scanning blocks threats, controls web surfing and limits data and file transfers.
 
Platforms
Delivered as a purpose-built appliance, every Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall utilizes dedicated, function specific processing that is tightly integrated with a single-pass software engine. This unique combination of hardware and software maximizes network throughput while minimizing latency. Each of the hardware platforms supports the same rich set of next-generation firewall features ensuring consistent operation across the entire line.
