What exactly is an APP-ID? |
|
Answer» App-ID is the abbreviated name for application identifications. This is one of Palo Alto's most important elements. App-ID's primary tasks include recognising APPS and traversing firewalls independently. App-ID allows you to SEE and learn about the applications on your network, including how they work, their behavioural FEATURES, and their risk level. App-ID, a patented traffic classification technology exclusive to Palo Alto Networks firewalls, determines what an application is regardless of its port, protocol, encryption (SSH or SSL), or any other INVASIVE approach. To effectively identify apps, it uses a combination of classification mechanisms—application signatures, application protocol decoding, and heuristics—on your network traffic stream. This enables for more precise management, such as permitting just sanctioned Office 365 accounts or allowing Slack for instant MESSAGING but not file transmission. |
