Standards-based VPN Connectivity

Secure site-to-site and remote user connectivity is a critical infrastructure component for nearly any organization. Every Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall platform allows organizations to easily communicate in a secure manner between sites using standards-based IPSec VPN connections while remote user communications are protected through a rich set of SSL VPN features.

Secure site-to-site connectivity through IPSec VPN.

Standards-based IPSec VPN connectivity combined with application visibility and control enables protected communications between two or more Palo Alto Networks devices or another vendor's IPSec VPN device.

SSL-VPN Secure Remote Access.

GlobalProtect enables remote users to access the corporate network by automatically establishing either an SSL or IPSec-based VPN connection depending on location and configuration. The remote access connection is authenticated through one of several mechanisms (local DB, RADIUS, LDAP, Active Directory and Smartcards) and once the secure remote connection is established, users are protected by the same security policies that corporate users are protected with.

Protected connectivity for a range of devices.

As part of GlobalProtect, MAC OS X and iOS devices can securely connect to the corporate network and in so doing, be protected by secure application enablement policies.
