Palo Alto Networks Next Generation Firewall

There’s a great article on SearchEnterpriseWAN about a Palo Alto Networks customer. IDT spoke to SearchEnterpriseWAN about its experiences using next-generation firewalls from Palo Alto Networks, and discussed some of the benefits and changes their team recognized in managing security across their enterprise. IDT describes many of the usual benefits around application visibility and control that all Palo Alto Networks customers value, but also highlights a key point about simplification of security management. Because next-generation firewalls build policies around application and user/group, instead of port and IP address, they result in much simpler rulesets – it is not uncommon for legacy firewall rulesets to contain thousands of rules. In fact, for its global, 16,000-user enterprise, IDT had a staff of 8 managing legacy firewall rulesets. Because next-generation firewalls can simplify rulesets by an order of magnitude (a typical production next-generation firewall ruleset might be tens of rules or perhaps a few hundred), it’s far easier to understand, rationalize, and audit firewall policy.One of the key points made by Golan Ben-Oni, senior vice president of network architecture at IDT, was that next-generation firewalls have enabled him and his team to focus on what’s important, and not spend so much time just maintaining firewall rulesets. Furthermore, because of the application visibility and control, and the capacity of Palo Alto Networks firewalls, IDT was able to greatly simplify their infrastructure – reducing both the number and variety of security devices – all while gaining more visibility and control. The most important implication of

Industrial businesses,” wrote Anand Oswal, senior vice president and general manager at Palo Alto Networks, in a blog about the news. “To truly safeguard enterprise, government and industrial operations, organizations need a holistic 5G security package. It needs to go beyond built-in protections to provide end-to-end visibility, advanced threat detection and unified security across the entire network,” Oswal stated. The new or expanded Palo Alto industry partnerships include:Integration to support Anterix spectrum will ensure that Palo Alto Networks ruggedized firewalls are optimized for 900 MHz private LTE (PLTE) networks, letting utilities and other critical infrastructure providers deploy secure, reliable and high-performance private wireless broadband solutions.Integration of Palo Alto’s NGFWs with OneLayer LTE/5G service to allow zero touch provisioning and device discovery in enterprise IT and OT networks to help ensure monitoring and security controls across an expanded attack surface, streamlining large-scale onboarding.Also on the NGFW front, Palo Alto tied together its firewalls with Pente’s Hypercore package to let customers see applications, services, subscribers and devices on a private wireless network so that customers can secure, multitenant private wireless deployments. International provider Telenor’ will integrate a variety of Palao Alto’s SASE security offerings to provide zero-touch end-to-end network slicing orchestration, letting customers enhance visibility, control mobile network traffic and ensure top-tier security, Palo Alto stated.The security vendor has myriad partnerships with other vendors and service providers to support private 5G. security measures.Most recently Palo Alto expanded its partnership with NTT to offer managed security services for NTT’s Private 5G network package specifically tying together Palo Alto’s Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) with NTT DATA’s Private 5G architecture for OT/ IOT integration. Palo Alto also recently expanded its partnership with Kyndryl to bring a wide range of security offerings, including a family of next-generation firewalls, the Prisma Cloud security platform for cloud-based applications and

A familiar yet modern security administration interface as well as unequaled security features to keep us totally protected in a dangerous environment.The PA-Series next-generation firewall is excellent for both small and big organizations, as well as branch offices and retail locations, allowing their apps to function safely while simultaneously safeguarding them from new cyber threats and securing their most critical data centers. It is an out-of-the-box security solution with a lot of granular customization possibilities for all circumstances that are straightforward to set up. This has saved us from catastrophic data loss multiple times by reacting in real-time and notifying us during the threat's full lifespan.The ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) prevents unexpected attacks, sees and secures everything, including the Internet of Things (IoT), and reduces mistakes with automated policy suggestions.The PA-400 Series is controlled by PAN-OS®, the same software that powers all Palo Alto Networks NGFWs. PAN-OS natively identifies all traffic, including apps, threats, and content, and then associates that traffic with the user, independent of location or device type. The application, content, and user, in other words, the elements that drive your business then serve as the foundation of your security rules, resulting in enhanced security posture and shorter incident response times.Palo Alto Networks' PA-4000 Series and PA-2000 Series, as well as the newly launched PA-500, are examples of next-generation firewall model families with throughput capacities ranging from 250Mbps to 10Gbps. Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewalls are built on a solid networking foundation, have a familiar policy administration interface,
