Panorama enables you to effectively configure, manage,
and monitor your Palo Alto Networks firewalls with central oversight.
The three main areas in which Panorama adds value are:
Centralized configuration and deployment
To simplify central management and rapid deployment of the firewalls and WildFire
appliances on your network, use Panorama to pre-stage the firewalls and WildFire
appliances for deployment. You can then assemble the firewalls into groups, and
create templates to apply a base network and device configuration and use device
groups to administer globally shared and local policy rules. See
Centrally Manage Firewall
Configuration and Updates with Panorama.
Aggregated logging with central oversight for analysis and reporting
Collect information on activity across all the managed firewalls on the network
and centrally analyze, investigate and report on the data. This comprehensive
view of network traffic, user activity, and the associated risks empowers you to
respond to potential threats using the rich set of policies to securely enable
applications on your network. See
Centralized
Logging and Reporting.
Distributed administration
Enables you to delegate or restrict access to global and local firewall
configurations and policies. See
Role-Based
Access Control for delegating appropriate levels of access for
distributed administration.
