GENERAL INTRODUCTION

PA-5000 Architecture

Prior to the Palo Alto Next-Generation Security Platform two basic choices existed to secure access to business applications - either block everything in the interest of network security or enable everything in the interest of the Business - that choice leaving little room for compromise. Use of the Palo Alto Next-Gen Firewall changes that. Furthermore it provides the way to safely enable Applications to the Client Base, granting right-to-entry while preventing Cyber Security Threats.

The Palo Alto next generation firewall is an Appliance constructed, self-contained technology and it has a general architecture layout that is illustrated to the right. (The layout illustrated is that for the PA-5000 architecture.)

The Firewall Appliances (core of the Next Generation Security Platform) have been designed from the ground up to address the most sophisticated of today's Cyber Threats. The firewall device inspects all traffic - inclusive of applications, threats and content - and ties it to the User device regardless of it's location or type. The application, content and user (elements that drive business) can now become an integral component of the Enterprise Security Policy: enabling security protection and business initiatives to be easily aligned.

The PA Appliances will also facilitate a reduction in response times to security incidents; the uncovering of unknown threats; and the streamlining of security network deployments.

We provide more detailed information in our PA Firewall Overview document, which can be downloaded from this page "click" button below.

With Palo Alto firewalls you can:

   ♦    Safely enable Applications, Users, and Content including software-as-a-service (SaaS) Applications.
   ♦    Prevent threats by eliminating unwanted Applications and unknown Malware (APTs).
   ♦    Protect Data Centers through the validation of Applications and high-speed Threat prevention.
   ♦    Secure public and private cloud computing environments with increased visibility and control.
   ♦    Embrace safe mobile computing no matter where the mobile device is located.
   ♦    Streamline device, network and policy management that match your Organizational structure.
   ♦    Use its security profiling to empower more diverse business activities.
