Palo Alto PA-445 Network Security/Firewall Appliance

The Palo Alto Networks PA-400 Series Next-Generation Firewalls, comprising the PA-410, PA-415, PA-440, PA-445, PA-450, and PA-460, bring ML-Powered NGFW capabilities to distributed enterprise branch offices, retail locations, and midsize businesses.

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-400 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 con-tent, and then ties that traffic to the user regardless of location or device type. The application, con-tent, 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 times.

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 techniques, or encryption (TLS/SSL); in addition, automatically discovers and controls new applications to keep pace with the SaaS explosion with a 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 an application (e.g., files and data patterns) 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.
• 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.
