Palo Alto Networks Enterprise Firewall PA-410
The World’s first ML-Powered Next Generation Firewall

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).
• 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 pro- prietary 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 exfil- tration 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.

Enforces Security for Users at Any Location, on Any Device, While Adapting Policy Based on User Activity

• Enables visibility, security policies, reporting, and forensics based on users and groups—not just IP addresses.
• Easily integrates with a wide range of repositories to leverage user information: wireless LAN controllers, VPNs, directory servers, SIEMs, proxies, and more.
• Allows you to define Dynamic User Groups (DUGs) on the firewall to take time-bound security actions without waiting for changes to be applied to user directories.
• Applies consistent policies irrespective of users’ locations (office, home, travel, etc.) and devices (iOS and Android mobile devices; macOS, Windows, and Linux desktops and laptops; Citrix and Microsoft VDI; and terminal servers).
• Prevents corporate credentials from leaking to third-party websites and prevents reuse of stolen credentials by enabling multifactor authentication (MFA) at the network layer for any application without any application changes.
• Provides dynamic security actions based on user behavior to restrict suspicious or malicious users.
• Consistently authenticates and authorizes your users, regardless of location and where user identity stores live, to move quickly toward a Zero Trust security posture with Cloud Identity Engine—an entirely new cloud-based architecture for identity-based security.

Prevents Malicious Activity Concealed in Encrypted Traffic

• Inspects and applies policy to TLS/SSL-encrypted traffic, both inbound and outbound, including for traffic that uses TLS 1.3 and HTTP/2.
• Offers rich visibility into TLS traffic, such as amount of encrypted traffic, TLS/SSL versions, cipher suites, and more, without decrypting.
• Enables control over use of legacy TLS protocols, insecure ciphers, and misconfigured certificates to mitigate risks.
• Facilitates easy deployment of decryption and lets you use built-in logs to troubleshoot issues, such as applications with pinned certificates.
• Lets you enable or disable decryption flexibly based on URL category, source and destination zone, address, user, user group, device, and port, for privacy and regulatory compliance purposes.
• Allows you to create a copy of decrypted traffic from the firewall (i.e., decryption mirroring) and send it to traffic collection tools for forensics, historical purposes, or data loss prevention (DLP).
• Allows you to intelligently forward all traffic (decrypted TLS, undecrypted TLS, and non-TLS) to third-party security tools with network packet broker and optimize your network performance and reduce operating expenses

Offers Centralized Management and Visibility

• Benefits from centralized management, configuration, and visibility for multiple distributed Palo Alto Networks NGFWs (irrespective of location or scale) through Panorama network security management, in one unified user interface.
• Streamlines configuration sharing through Panorama, with templates and device groups, and scales log collection as logging needs increase. PA-410, PA-415, PA-415-5G, PA-440, PA-445, PA450, PA-455, and PA-460 allow export session logs to Panorama and Cortex Data Lake. PA-415, PA-440, PA-445, PA-450, and PA-460 also support on-box session logging.
• Enables users, through the Application Command Center (ACC), to obtain deep visibility and comprehensive insights into network traffic and threats.

Offers AI-Powered Unified Management and Operations with Strata Cloud Manager

• Prevent network disruptions: Forecast deployment health and proactively identify capacity bottlenecks up to seven days in advance with predictive analytics to proactively prevent operational disruptions.
• Strengthen security in real time: AI-powered analysis of policies and real-time compliance checks against industry and Palo Alto Networks best practices.
• Enable simple and consistent network security management and ops: Manage configuration and security policies across all form factors, including SASE, hardware and software firewalls, and all security services to ensure consistency and reduce operational overhead.

Detects and Prevents Advanced Threats with Cloud-Delivered Security Services

The traditional approach of using siloed security tools causes challenges for organizations, including security gaps, increased overhead for security teams, and disruptions in business productivity. Seamlessly integrated with our industry-leading NGFWs, our Cloud-Delivered Security Services share threat intelligence across 65,000 customers to prevent known and unknown threats across all threat vectors in real time. Eliminate security gaps in your entire network and take advantage of inline AI-powered security services that provide real-time protection everywhere.
