Campus and internet edge security in 1RU
The PA-3400 Series addresses throughput, port density, and rack efficiency requirements for mid-to-large enterprise deployments. All models run PAN-OS with the same ML-powered security engine used across the entire PA-Series portfolio.
Up to 11 Gbps threat prevention
App-Mix throughput with all security services enabled. Real-world performance measured under production traffic conditions, not synthetic UDP benchmarks.
12x Multi-Gig ports built in
Every model includes 12 copper ports supporting 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G speeds. The PA-3430 and PA-3440 add 100G QSFP28 uplink interfaces.
1RU rack footprint
Full campus-grade security in a single rack unit. Direct replacement for the PA-3200 Series with 3x the performance in the same physical footprint.

Built for the encrypted era
Legacy firewalls experience significant throughput degradation when SSL decryption is enabled. The PA-3400 Series uses dedicated hardware processing to maintain performance under full TLS 1.3 inspection.
Dedicated security processing
Purpose-built hardware architecture inspects encrypted traffic (TLS 1.3) without the throughput penalty common in software-based decryption engines.
5G native security
The PA-3430 and PA-3440 are designed to safeguard service provider and enterprise 5G network transformations, securing mobile infrastructure at the network layer.
High port density
All models include 12x Multi-Gig (1G/2.5G/5G/10G) copper ports built in. No additional line cards or modules required to connect high-speed uplinks.
Choose the right PA-3400 model
Match the model to the deployment scenario. Each PA-3400 targets a specific throughput tier, session capacity, and uplink requirement.
