URL Filtering

The Advanced URL Filtering security subscription provides a new, cloud-based ML-powered web security engine that protects you against advanced web-based attacks by performing web traffic inspection in real-time. Prevent known and unknown advanced, file-less web-based attacks including targeted phishing, web-delivered malware and exploits, command-and-control, social engineering, and other types of web attacks.

Now available as an optional security subscription with PAN-OS 9.0 and later.

With URL Filtering inline ML, you can now prevent JavaScript exploits and phishing attacks found in webpages from entering your network in real-time with the power of machine learning.

Now available with PAN-OS 10.0!

New security-focused URL categories allow you to write simple security policy based on website safety. The new categories—like high-risk, medium-risk, and newly-registered domains—identify sites that are likely to expose you to web-based threats.

Now available with PAN-OS 9.0!

Multi-category URL Filtering moves you beyond a "block-and-allow" approach to controlling web access, and instead control how users interact with online content.

Now available with PAN-OS 9.0!

Firewalls with URL Filtering running any PAN-OS version can leverage the latest PAN-DB analysis features:

• Real Time Updates

When a user first attempts to access an unknown site, PAN-DB can now categorize the site in real-time. A firewall running any PAN-OS version with URL Filtering can enforce subsequent attempts to access the site based on it's URL category, instead of treating it as unknown. 

• Machine Learning for Images: Phishing

PAN-DB uses AI-based image recognition to compare what a site looks like to the human eye, against the site's source code. Within seconds, PAN-DB can identify sophisticated phishing sites that might evade standard detections and are convincingly designed to imitate real, trusted sites—like a corporate or bank login page.
