Threat Prevention defends your network against both commodity threats—which are pervasive but not sophisticated—and targeted, advanced threats perpetuated by organized cyber adversaries. Threat Prevention includes comprehensive exploit, malware, and command-and-control protection, and Palo Alto Networks frequently publishes updates that equip the firewall with the very latest threat intelligence. You can use the Threat Vault to research the latest threats that Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls can detect and prevent.
