Managing network security can be a difficult task. Keeping up with the latest threats, monitoring the next hacking trend and dealing with adds, moves and changes can make for a very busy day. Inconsistent security device management mechanisms only make the administrator’s life more difficult.
Keeping ease of use and consistency as key development goals, the web interfaces for both Panorama and the individual platforms have the same look and feel, thereby minimizing the learning curve often associated with switching from single-device management to centralized management of multiple next generation firewalls. The Palo Alto Networks management tools make security policy management a straightforward process, using visualization tools, common application names and standard security terminology.
- Panorama provides centralized visibility, control and management over multiple Palo Alto Networks’ firewalls.
- Application Command Center provides a visual summary of the applications traversing the network, categorized by sessions, bytes, ports, threats and time.
- App-Scope gives administrators a comparative view of network activity to help pinpoint erratic behavior.
- Policy editor has a familiar look and feel, allowing administrators to quickly create and deploy networks security policies.
- The application browser enables dynamic access to a wealth of information on applications, including category, purpose, its underlying technology and behavioral characteristic.
- Reporting and logging enables rapid analysis of security incidents, application usage and traffic patterns
