The Palo Alto cybersecurity application contains all of the necessary features for the next generation. An infusion prevention system and control functions are included in this application. It is believed to be different from other cybersecurity suppliers in terms of productivity. One of the most important aspects is that it uses a single platform to deliver next-generation features.

With sophisticated traffic identification, malware prevention, and threat intelligence technologies, Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) allow security teams comprehensive visibility and control over all network traffic. Palo Alto NGFWs give enterprises a variety of advanced security tools and techniques to intelligently decide which apps, users, and information traversing the network are safe—and which are not—rather than relying on port and protocol to safeguard network traffic from malicious attacks.

The following services are provided by Palo Alto Next-Generation Firewall:

• Secure Application Enablement:
  • App-ID: App-ID is a firewall capability from Palo Alto Networks that analyses network traffic USING up to four different traffic classification algorithms to determine the identity of any application traffic on the network.
  • User-ID: The User-ID functionality, which is included with all Palo Alto Networks firewalls, allows enterprises to track user activity using user- or group-based enablement policies rather than IP addresses alone.
  • Content-ID: Content-ID can securely enable approved APPLICATIONS by prohibiting VULNERABILITY exploits, malware, viruses, and other dangers from spreading on the network—regardless of port or encryption—after App-ID has blocked unauthorised and/or dangerous programmes. In addition to data filtering and online browsing controls, Content-ID includes a URL database.
• Malware Detection and Prevention:
  • Threat Prevention Service - Integrating with Palo Alto Networks NGFWs, the Threat Prevention service provides an extra LAYER of intrusion detection and prevention capabilities to protect enterprises' vital assets.
  • WildFire - WildFire is a cloud-delivered malware prevention service that detects extremely advanced and previously undiscovered threats across the company using machine learning and multiple analysis methodologies.
• DNS Security:
  • The DNS Security service, which is available on all Palo Alto Networks NGFWs, provides further network security against DNS-based attacks, including advanced DNS tunnelling threats. Any DNS-based attacks discovered are automatically identified and sinkholed, allowing the security team to immediately neutralise the threat with little or no manual input.
• Panorama Security Management:
  • Panorama is a security management platform for Palo Alto Networks NGFWs that allows security teams to VIEW firewall traffic, manage firewall configurations, expedite security automation, and handle a range of other essential security activities from a single, centralised control panel.
• Threat Intelligence:
  • AutoFocus - AutoFocus is a worldwide threat intelligence solution that complements Palo Alto Networks NGFWs' threat protection and analysis efforts. AutoFocus assists companies in detecting previously undisclosed high-impact risks and providing the threat intelligence and context required to properly mitigate the danger.
