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. Released in late 2023, the PA-7500 ML-Powered NextGeneration Firewall (NGFW) enables enterprise-scale organizations and service providers to deploy security in high-performance environments, such as large data centers and high-bandwidth network perimeters. It is designed to handle growing throughput needs for application-, user-, and device-generated data, with prevention capabilities that stop advanced cyberattacks, and high-throughput decryption to stop threats hiding under the veil of encryption. The PA-7500 features a new modular chassis that upgrades the PA-7000 Series firewall. The PA-7500 is intended for deployments where scalability and high speed connectivity are needed, such as high-end enterprise and service providers.

The Palo Alto Networks' line of 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.

Anywhere where high performance and application-specific rules are necessary would be a great fit. Palo Alto NG firewalls are exceptionally well suited to doing application-based rules, rather than service-based rules, although they can still easily do those. The cost might make it less well-suited for smaller installations or where the more complicated setup procedures are too much for a user with limited proficiency to handle.

The clientless VPN is great when you need to offer temporary access to a consultant or vendor and limit their access. However, get the best model for your user count, or you may encounter performance issues or limited storage capacity for logs. Additionally, these are not plug-and-play devices and you must either have a strong networking foundation to configure them correctly or hire a consultant to perform the configuration for you.

Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls - PA Series are very suitable firewalls for Zero Trust Architecture as it provides User-ID, Device-ID, and App-ID which can be used to enforce granular access control and microsegmentation with least privilege access. In addition to Zone based architecture where secure network level segregation between different segments, subnets, and vlans.

The best of both worlds for cyber security and network performance.
