Palo Alto Networks

The evolution of the application landscape has made it more difficult for firewalls to protect the corporate network. An increasing number of consumer and business applications are using sophisticated security evasion techniques such as dynamic or random port numbers, and application emulation/tunneling. The result is an enterprise network that is rife with unapproved and uncontrollable applications unseen by traditional firewalls that brings unwanted exposure to a wide range of security and compliance related risks.

Palo Alto Networks delivers a family of next generation firewalls that provide enterprise IT organizations with complete visibility, policy control, and centralized management of all applications, users, and content on the corporate network.

This is accomplished through three patent-pending technologies:

• App-ID technology identifies nearly 700 applications, regardless of port, protocol, evasive tactic, or SSL encryption;
• User-ID technology integrates with Active Directory to identify every user of every application; and
• Content-ID prevents a wide range of threats, blocks unauthorized file transfers, and controls web surfing.

The scalable, purpose built platforms integrate all these features and deliver up to 10Gbps of throughput.
