Palo Alto PA-5420 Network Security/Firewall Appliance

PA-5400 Series

Palo Alto Networks PA-5400 Series ML-Powered NGFWs-comprising the PA-5430, PA-5420, and PA-5410-are ideal for high-speed data center, internet gateway, and service provider deployments. The PA-5400 Series appliances secure all traffic, including encrypted traffic.

The world’s first ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) enables you to prevent unknown threats, see and secure everything-including the Internet of Things (IoT)-and reduce errors with automatic policy recommendations.

The controlling element of the PA-5400 Series 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 application, 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; 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). In addition, it 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 within the application (e.g., files and data patterns) to block malicious files and thwart data 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.
• 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.
