The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Firewalls, Q4 2022 Report

Palo Alto Networks named a Leader in Enterprise Firewalls.


Understand the true identity of your applications

Understand the true identity of your applications

PAN-OS® includes App-ID™, our patented traffic classification technology. It automatically discovers and controls new applications — even those that try to evade detection by masquerading as legitimate traffic, hopping ports or sneaking through firewalls under encryption. Plus, our latest post-Quantum cryptographic algorithms prohibit nonsanctioned activity, using vulnerability signatures and threat reporting.


Authenticate and authorize users and achieve Zero Trust for identity

Authenticate and authorize users and achieve Zero Trust for identity

PAN-OS includes User-ID™ and Cloud Identity Engine simplify user identification and authentication, while making it easy to deploy Zero Trust. Cloud Identity Engine also helps aggregate and synchronize user information across identity providers, allowing consistent authentication and authorization of users, regardless of location and where user identity stores reside. This is all done with point-and-click configuration that automatically synchronizes identity across all identity providers.


Manage device security on your network with ease

Manage device security on your network with ease

Device-ID™, a feature of PAN-OS, provides policy rules for devices regardless of changes to IP address or location. Gain context for how events relate to devices and device policies. PAN-OS can help improve security, decryption, QoS and authentication policies.


Block exploits that evade other security methods

Block exploits that evade other security methods

Similar to Device-ID and App-ID, Content-ID™ gives you the power to understand and control the content of traffic moving through your network. Content-ID provides comprehensive threat protection in a single scan of network traffic, optimizing your NGFW performance.


Enable high-throughput, low-latency security

Enable high-throughput, low-latency security

The traditional strategy of simply adding more and more security features results in performance degradation and increased latency. Our single-pass architecture performs all necessary security functions in a single scan, reducing complexity and minimizing total cost of ownership.


Protect against threats that hide behind encryption

Protect against threats that hide behind encryption

Unless inspected, encrypted traffic leaves organizations blind to security risks hidden inside. Hackers take advantage of this lack of visibility to deliver malware within encrypted traffic. PAN-OS provides comprehensive decryption for TLS and SSL encrypted traffic, including TLS 1.3 and HTTP/2.


Protect against Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) attacks

Protect against Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) attacks

Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) attacks are a real threat to data privacy today, even though a cryptographically relevant quantum computer powerful enough to break encryption is years away. Safeguard your data with PAN-OS post-Quantum VPNs that are based on open standards.


Cloud Identity Engine

The industry’s most comprehensive user identity solution for network security, enabling you to deliver Zero Trust in a cloud-first world.
