The Palo Alto Networks PA-400 Series, comprising the PA-460, PA-450, PA-440, and PA-410, brings ML-Powered NGFW capabilities to distributed enterprise branch offices, retail locations, and midsize businesses.
The world's first ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) enables you to prevent unknown threats, see and secure everything-including the Internet of Things (IoT)-and reduce errors with automatic policy recommendations.
The controlling element of the PA-400 Series is PAN-OS®, the same software that runs all Palo Alto Networks NGFWs. PAN-OS natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats, and content, and then ties that traffic to the user regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and user-in other words, the elements that run your business-then serve as the basis of your security policies, resulting in improved security posture and reduced incident response times.
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 IoT devices and make policy recommendations as part of 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 (TLS/SSL).
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 an application (e.g., files and data patterns) to block malicious files and thwart 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 App-ID-based rules with built-in Policy Optimizer, giving you a rule set that is more secure and easier to manage.
