AIOps for NGFW comes in two license tiers: free and premium.
Free AIOps for NGFW features enrich your understanding of your firewall deployment.
Free features:
  • assess the firewall’s configuration and identify areas for improvement
  • provide easy access to runtime and historical telemetry data from firewalls
  • detect system issues (independent of the detection method)
  • reduce time to resolution through alert/notification workflows
  • provide dynamic dashboards and visualizations for several security subscriptions
With a premium tier license, you have access to both free and premium features. Premium features focus on ensuring full utilization and maximal security outcome from your firewalls.
Premium features:
  • Cloud management for NGFWs
    Contact your account team to enable Cloud Management for NGFWs using Strata Cloud Manager.
  • use advanced ML techniques to promote an always-optimal security posture that responds to the changing threat and network landscapes, thereby reducing the attack surface
  • provide dynamic dashboards and visualizations for WildFire and IOC Search
  • interact with data and visualize the relationships between events on the network in the Strata Cloud Manager Command Center to uncover anomalies or find ways to enhance your network security
Strata Cloud Manager has two licensing tiers: Strata Cloud Manager Essentials and Strata Cloud Manager Pro. This unified structure streamlines the deployment of network security offerings, including AIOps for NGFW, Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM), cloud management functionality, and Strata Logging Service. See Strata Cloud Manager License.
If you're already using AIOps for NGFW Free app or Strata Cloud Manager with AIOps for NGFW Premium license, your existing licenses are not impacted and you can continue to amend, extend, or renew them.
