Palo Alto Networks
Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls allow you to safely enable applications and strengthen your security posture across the entire organization with firewall policies that use business-relevant elements such as the application identity, who is using the application, and the type of content or threat as network access decision criteria.
Enterprise Security Platform
Our innovative security platform is based on our next-generation firewall which natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats and content, then ties that traffic to the user, regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and user – the core elements that run your business – are then used as the basis of your security policies. This unique ability empowers you to safely enable applications, make informed decisions on network access, and strengthen your network security.
Regardless of where your applications, users, and content may be, they almost always run across the network – which is the logical place to secure them. Deploy our innovative network security products to secure users (e.g., Internet gateways, branch offices, mobile users) as well as services (e.g., virtualized datacenters, virtualized desktop infrastructures, websites). All of your offices, datacenters, and remote users can be protected by the same safe application enablement policies, which simplifies security. Our platform enables you to see and understand everything that happens on your network, so you can focus on real problems.
Find out how our enterprise security platforms safely enable your business, improve network security, and simplify your workload.
Palo Alto Networks PA-7050 Platform
The PA-7050 protects datacenters and high-speed networks with firewall throughput of up to 120 Gbps and, full threat prevention at speeds of up to 100 Gbps. To address the computationally intensive nature of full-stack classification and analysis at speeds of 120 Gbps, more than 400 processors are distributed across networking, security, switch management and logging functions. The result is that the PA-7050 allows you to deploy next-generation security in your datacenters without compromising performance.

Next-Generation Firewall Technology
Safely enabling applications, users and content is facilitated through a tightly integrated set of innovative technologies and services. Starting with determining the application identity, App-ID classifies all traffic across all ports, all the time. User-ID and GlobalProtect then allow you to tie the application and user into a location independent enablement policy that protects traffic against all manner of threat – both known and unknown – with Content-ID and WildFire.
App-ID
Classifying all applications, across all ports, all the time, regardless of port, encryption (SSL or SSH) or evasive technique employed.
User-ID
Integrates with a wide range of directories and terminal services to tie users and groups to policies, regardless of device-type.
Content-ID
Prevent a wide range of threats, control web surfing, and limit unauthorized data and file transfers.
WildFire
Identifies, analyzes and automatically generates protection for previously unknown malware.
GlobalProtect
Extends policies to all users, regardless of location or device.
Panorama
Configure, manage and deploy policies across multiple Palo Alto Networks firewalls from a centralized location.
