Palo Alto PA-5450 Network Security/Firewall Appliance

PA-5450

The Palo Alto Networks PA-5450 ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) platform is designed for hyperscale data center, internet edge, and campus segmentation deployments. Delivering incredible performance-152 Gbps of Threat Prevention throughput with security services enabled-it is based on a scalable, modular design that enables you to increase performance as your needs increase. The PA-5450 offers simplicity defined by a single-system approach to management and licensing.

The world’s first ML-Powered NGFW enables you to prevent unknown threats, see and secure everything-including the Internet of Things (IoT)-and reduce errors with automatic policy recom-mendations. The controlling element of the PA-5450 is PAN-OS®, the same software that runs all Palo Alto Networks NGFWs. PAN-OS natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats, and content, and then ties that traffic to the user regardless of location or device type. The applica-tion, content, and user-in other words, the elements that run your business then serve as the basis of your security policies, resulting in improved security posture and reduced incident response time.

Key Security and Connectivity Features | 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 tech-niques, or encryption (TLS/SSL).
• Automatically discovers and controls new applications to keep pace with the SaaS explosion with SaaS Security subscription.
• 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 proprietary applications or request App-ID development for new applications from Palo Alto Networks.
• Identifies all payload data (e.g., files and data patterns) within an application to block malicious files and thwart exfiltration 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.
