Subscriptions You Can Use With the Firewall
List of available firewall subscriptions
The following Palo Alto Networks subscriptions unlock
certain firewall features or enable the firewall to leverage a Palo
Alto Networks cloud-delivered service (or both). Here you can read
more about each service or feature that requires a subscription
to work with the firewall. To enable a subscription, you must first Activate Subscription Licenses; once active,
most subscription services can use Dynamic Content Updates to provide
new and updated functionality to the firewall.
Subscriptions You Can Use With
the Firewall | |
---|---|
IoT Security | The IoT Security solution works with next-generation
firewalls to dynamically discover and maintain a real-time inventory
of the IoT devices on your network. Through AI and machine-learning algorithms,
the IoT Security solution achieves a high level of accuracy, even
classifying IoT device types encountered for the first time. And
because it’s dynamic, your IoT device inventory is always up to
date. IoT Security also provides the automatic generation of policy
recommendations to control IoT device traffic, as well as the automatic
creation of IoT device attributes for use in firewall policies. |
SD-WAN | Provides intelligent and dynamic path selection
on top of the industry-leading security that PAN-OS software already
delivers. Managed by Panorama, the SD-WAN implementation includes:
|
Threat Prevention | Threat Prevention provides:
|
DNS Security | Provides enhanced DNS sinkholing capabilities
by querying DNS Security, an extensible cloud-based service capable
of generating DNS signatures using advanced predictive analytics and
machine learning. This service provides full access to the continuously
expanding DNS-based threat intelligence produced by Palo Alto Networks. To
set up DNS Security, you must first purchase and install a Threat
Prevention license. |
URL Filtering | Provides the ability to not only control
web-access, but how users interact with online content based on
dynamic URL categories. You can also prevent credential theft by
controlling the sites to which users can submit their corporate
credentials. To set up URL Filtering, you must purchase and
install a subscription for the supported URL filtering database,
PAN-DB. With PAN-DB, you can set up access to the PAN-DB public
cloud or to the PAN-DB private cloud. |
WildFire | Although basic WildFire® support is included
as part of the Threat Prevention license, the WildFire subscription
service provides enhanced services for organizations that require immediate
coverage for threats, frequent WildFire signature updates, advanced
file type forwarding (APK, PDF, Microsoft Office, and Java Applet),
as well as the ability to upload files using the WildFire API. A
WildFire subscription is also required if your firewalls will be
forwarding files to an on-premise WF-500 appliance. |
AutoFocus | Provides a graphical analysis of firewall
traffic logs and identifies potential risks to your network using
threat intelligence from the AutoFocus portal. With an active license,
you can also open an AutoFocus search based on logs recorded on
the firewall. |
Cortex Data Lake | Provides cloud-based, centralized log storage
and aggregation. The Cortex Data Lake is required or highly-recommended
to support several other cloud-delivered services, including Cortex XDR,
IoT Security, and Prisma Access, and Traps management service. |
GlobalProtect | Provides mobility solutions and/or large-scale
VPN capabilities. By default, you can deploy GlobalProtect portals
and gateways (without HIP checks) without a license. If you want
to use advanced GlobalProtect features (HIP checks and related content updates,
the GlobalProtect Mobile App, IPv6 connections, or a GlobalProtect
Clientless VPN) you will need a GlobalProtect license (subscription)
for each gateway. |
Virtual Systems | This is a perpetual license, and is required
to enable support for multiple virtual systems on PA-3200 Series
firewalls. In addition, you must purchase a Virtual Systems license
if you want to increase the number of virtual systems beyond the
base number provided by default on PA-5200 Series, and PA-7000 Series firewalls
(the base number varies by platform). The PA-800 Series, PA-220,
and VM-Series firewalls do not support virtual systems. |
Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP) | Provides cloud-based protection against
unauthorized access, misuse, extraction, and sharing of sensitive
information. Enterprise DLP provides a single engine for accurate
detection and consistent policy enforcement for sensitive data at
rest and in motion using machine learning-based data classification, hundreds
of data patterns using regular expressions or keywords, and data
profiles using Boolean logic to scan for collective types of data. |
