Product Details

What is Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls - PA Series?

Palo Alto Network’s Next-Generation Firewalls is a firewall option integrated with other Palo Alto security products. NGFWs classify and monitor all traffic, including encrypted and internal traffic, based on application, function, user, and content. Palo Alto emphasizes the Zero Trust policy, through which users can create security policies to enable only authorized users to run sanctioned applications, reducing the surface area of cyber attacks across the organization.


Palo Alto’s NGFW provides in-firewall encryption and decryption, as well as data and application segmentation. It integrates with PA’s WildFire malware prevention service and supports easy adoption with an open-source tool for firewall migration. It encompasses on-premises and cloud environments for full-system security.

Fortinet's IAM connector did not work well resulting in difficulty creating identity based access rules. Check Point updates and management was very painful. In one instance, Check Point depricated a rule set entirely which caused the appliances to fail.

I have not had any issues with the management of Palo Alto products and their connectors work as expected. The identity based rules work well with Windows based environments. Also, Palo Alto inspects traffic and assigns application ID's to applications it discovers through inspecting. These app-ID's can then be used to create additional rules which provides greater security.

We are using Cisco ASA before in our environment but when it comes to deep scanning & layer 7 security it doesn't have that capability. After using Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall we are using sandboxing & advance malware protection that provides high-level end-user security. Also after implementing it we can easily monitor user-level traffic.

Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation is best firewall.
