(NEW VENDOR) PALO ALTO PAN-PA-410-PRO-3YR Palo Alto Networks PA-410, Firewall Throughput: 2.4 Gbps; Threat Prevention Throughput: 1.0 Gbps

ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall

• Embeds machine learning (ML) in the core of the firewall to provide inline signatureless attack prevention for file- based attacks while identifying and immediately stopping never-before-seen phishing attempts.
• Leverages cloud-based ML processes to push zero-delay signatures and instructions back to the NGFW.
• Uses behavioral analysis to detect IoT devices and make policy recommendations as part of a cloud-delivered and natively integrated service on the NGFW.
• Automates policy recommendations that save time and reduce the chance of human error.

Identifies and categorizes all applications, on all ports, all the time, with full Layer 7 inspection

• Identifies the applications traversing your network irrespective of port, protocol, evasive techniques, or encryption (TLS/SSL).
• Uses the application, not the port, as the basis for all your safe enablement policy decisions: allow, deny, schedule, inspect, and apply traffic-shaping.
• Offers the ability to create custom App-ID™ tags for pro- prietary applications or request App-ID development for new applications from Palo Alto Networks.
• Identifies all payload data within an application (e.g., files and data patterns) to block malicious files and thwart exfil- tration attempts.
• Creates standard and customized application usage reports, including software-as-a-service (SaaS) reports that provide insight into all sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS traffic on your network.
• Enables safe migration of legacy Layer 4 rule sets to App-ID-based rules with built-in Policy Optimizer, giving you a rule set that is more secure and easier to manage.

Offers Centralized Management and Visibility

• Benefits from centralized management, configuration, and visibility for multiple distributed Palo Alto Networks NGFWs (irrespective of location or scale) through Panorama network security management, in one unified user interface.
• Streamlines configuration sharing through Panorama with templates and device groups and scales log collection as logging needs increase. PA-410, PA-415, PA-440, PA-445, PA-450, PA-460 allow export session logs to Panorama and Cortex Data Lake. PA-415, PA-440, PA-445, PA-450, and PA-460 also support on box session logging.
• Enables users, through the Application Command Center (ACC), to obtain deep visibility and comprehensive insights into network traffic and threats.

Maximize Your Security Investment and Prevent Business Disruption with AIOps

• AIOps for NGFW delivers continuous best practice recommendations customized to your unique deployment to strengthen your security posture and get the most out of your security investment.
• Intelligently predicts firewall health, performance, and capacity problems based on ML powered by advanced telemetry data. It also provides actionable insights to resolve the predicted disruptions.

Enables SD-WAN functionality

• Allows you to easily adopt SD-WAN by simply enabling it on your existing firewalls.
• Enables you to safely implement SD-WAN, which is natively integrated with our industry-leading security.
• Delivers an exceptional end user experience by minimizing latency, jitter, and packet loss.

Prevents malicious activity concealed in encrypted traffic

• Inspects and applies policy to TLS/SSL-encrypted traffic, both inbound and outbound, including for traffic that uses TLS 1.3 and HTTP/2.
• Offers rich visibility into TLS traffic, such as amount of encrypted traffic, TLS/SSL versions, cipher suites, and more, without decrypting.
• Enables control over use of legacy TLS protocols, insecure ciphers, and misconfigured certificates to mitigate risks.
• Facilitates easy deployment of decryption and lets you use built-in logs to troubleshoot issues, such as applications with pinned certificates.
• Lets you enable or disable decryption flexibly based on URL category, source and destination zone, address, user, user group, device, and port, for privacy and compliance purposes.
• Allows you to create a copy of decrypted traffic from the firewall (i.e., decryption mirroring) and send it to traffic collection tools for forensics, historical purposes, or data loss prevention (DLP).
• Allows you to intelligently forward all traffic (decrypted TLS, non-decrypted TLS, and non-TLS) to third-party security tools with Network Packet Broker, optimize your network performance, and reduce operating expenses.

Enforces security for users at any location, on any device, while adapting policy based on user activity

• Enables visibility, security policies, reporting, and forensics based on users and groups—not just IP addresses.
• Easily integrates with a wide range of repositories to lever- age user information: wireless LAN controllers, VPNs, directory servers, SIEMs, proxies, and more.
• Allows you to define Dynamic User Groups (DUGs) on the firewall to take time-bound security actions without wait- ing for changes to be applied to user directories.
• Applies consistent policies irrespective of users’ locations (office, home, travel, etc.) and devices (iOS and Android® mobile devices, macOS®, Windows®, Linux desktops, lap- tops; Citrix and Microsoft VDI and Terminal Servers).
• Prevents corporate credentials from leaking to third-party websites and prevents reuse of stolen credentials by enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) at the network layer for any application without any application changes.
• Provides dynamic security actions based on user behavior to restrict suspicious or malicious users.
• Consistently authenticates and authorizes your users, regardless of their location and where user identity stores live, to quickly move toward a Zero Trust security posture with Cloud Identity Engine—an entirely new cloud-based architecture for identity-based security.

Delivers a unique approach to packet processing with Single-Pass Architecture

• Performs networking, policy lookup, application and de- coding, and signature matching—for all threats and con- tent—in a single pass. This significantly reduces the amount of processing overhead required to perform multi- ple functions in one security device.
• Avoids introducing latency by scanning traffic for all signa- tures in a single pass, using stream-based, uniform signa- ture matching.
• Enables consistent and predictable performance when security subscriptions are enabled. (In Table 1, “Threat Prevention throughput” is measured with multiple sub- scriptions enabled.)

Detect and Prevent Advanced Threats with Cloud-Delivered Security Services

Today’s sophisticated cyberattacks can spawn 45,000 variants in 30 minutes using multiple threat vectors and advanced techniques to deliver malicious payloads.
