The PA-455 next-generation firewall addresses the need for enhanced security and connectivity in small to medium branch offices by delivering robust performance and increased interface flexibility. The PA-455 includes a dedicated management port, six copper RJ-45 ports, and two SFP/RJ-45 combo ports to provide greater deployment flexibility in environments that require fiber connectivity. It delivers improved threat prevention performance of up to 2.3 Gbps

The firewall’s integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability on four designated ports supports up to 91W of power for connecting devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and IP security cameras. The platform includes 16GB of memory and 128GB of eMMC storage to support the demanding requirements of modern network security deployments.

A fanless design ensures quiet operation in office environments while maintaining reliability in various deployment scenarios. As with other Palo Alto Networks firewalls, the PA-455 can be managed using the web interface, CLI, or Panorama for centralized management of multiple devices.
