Also known as the Device Dictionary, the Devices page contains metadata for device objects. Review information for existing device objects or add new device objects. Using device objects as match criteria in Security policy allows you to create device-based policy, where the Security policy is dynamically updated and applied to new and existing devices. Palo Alto Networks updates the Device Dictionary via dynamic updates.
