Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention is an intrusion prevention system (IPS) used to stop zero-day attacks inline in real-time. In addition to the prevention of known threats, the solution helps to stop never-before-seen exploit attempts and command and control with its inline deep learning engines that aims to provide prevention of zero-day injection attacks and evasive command and control.
Both Palo Alto Networks and Check Point are recognised leaders in the Next Gen Firewall space, but they both have their different qualities. We chose Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention primarily for its Single-Pass Architecture and Inline Deep Learning. This ensures …
Earlier we relayed completely on cisco network but we faced serious security breach even after using this tool. As cisco primarily relies on signature based behaviour of detecting the anamoly and the hijackers/attackers has bypassed the validation principle that way an threat …
Having used Palo Alto Firewalls for years, implementing threat protection was the next step in perimeter security. Works much better than the few competitors I have personally used. Frequent content updates occur which may impact some policy rules, but that is normal across …
We ended up with Palo Alto and NTP for a multitude of reasons, including price point, the clean interface, great reporting, and ease of management. NTP specifically covered all our bases and then some over the competition.
Palo Alto NTP is an appropriate suite of protection for any enterprise environment or anyone that truly needs some serious perimeter protection in a one-stop, all-in-one unit. There are no modules or add-ons or clunky interfaces to deal with it; everything works out of one management plane, licensing, implementation, monitoring. updating, etc. As a network admin, that is immensely valuable to me. Additionally, I get real-time reporting on all the stuff NTP is catching, and it is nothing to shirk at. The real value in NTP comes in only after you begin doing SSL-decryption, however, to truly inspect the traffic. Short of that, you are just seeing a bunch of encrypted data and the NTP suite of tools isn't going to avail you. NTP plus decryption, though, is invaluable!
The threat engine has constant updates for important threats.
Wildfire helps supplement the Threat engine to help protect against 0 day threats.
The way the threat engine can be added at different levels to different zones and policies helps to ensure business essential traffic can have policies that are tuned to ensure traffic will flow.
The reason to give ATP this rating is it specialises in detecting command control traffic whose primary role is to identify unusual outbound traffic patterns which blocks the command control communication and notifies to different security team to take necessary actions. ATP Global protect holds the responsibility of inspecting all the inbound and outbound traffic going to and from corporate system regardless of the network they are on. ATP plays a major role to identify the threats that blocks threats that could lead to data breach also it identifies any malicious file enter the system will be blocked proactively
