Use Panorama to Setup Advanced Threat Prevention

Advanced Threat Prevention (similar to other Palo Alto Networks security services) is administered through security profiles, which in turn is dependent on the configuration of network enforcement policies as defined through security policy rules.
You use the Cloud NGFW for Azure to enable Advanced Threat Prevention for the rulestack, however, you must use Panorama to configure the policies that comprise the security service.
