Palo Alto Networks firewalls accurately identify and control applications – regardless of port, protocol, evasive tactic or SSL encryption – and enhance threat security, prevent data leakage and overcome the challenges of device sprawl. Next-generation firewalls help companies address:

• Network Security: Control over applications, users and content, combined with network segmentation, can greatly reduce the risks to any organization;
• Application Visibility: Reduce loss of productivity, compliance issues, threat propagation and data leakage risks;
• Application Control: Regain control over the applications on your network – good, bad, and evasive – with user-based policies;
• Threat Security: Stop bad applications. Scan allowed applications for all types of threats. Do it at multi-Gbps speeds;
• Device Consolidation: Simplify security infrastructure and reduce TCO
  

More than ever before, firewalls must become application aware in order to mitigate application threats. Next-generation firewalls from Palo Alto Networks overcome the challenges of traditional network security solutions such as port-based firewalls and standalone IPS products.
