Firewalls & Appliances

Palo Alto Networks® next-generation firewalls detect known and unknown threats, including in encrypted traffic, using intelligence generated across many thousands of customer deployments. That means they reduce risks and prevent a broad range of attacks. For example, they enable users to access data and applications based on business requirements as well as stop credential theft and an attacker’s ability to use stolen credentials.

OpenConfig

PAN-OS expands its automation capabilities to now support a management interface based on the OpenConfig standard data models to simplify deploying firewalls in OpenConfig managed networks. The OpenConfig gNMI/gNOI service is provided through the OpenConfig plugin.
