Panorama

Panorama is a centralized management system that provides global visibility and control over multiple Palo Alto Networks next generation firewalls through an easy to use web-based interface. Panorama enables administrators to view aggregate or device-specific application, user, and content data and manage multiple Palo Alto Networks firewalls—all from a central location.

Globally managing multiple Palo Alto Networks next generation firewalls with Panorama or controlling a single device via the on-box capabilities is accomplished through a common web-based interface, eliminating the need to install a desktop client, and ensures a minimal learning curve for both interfaces. The result is that administrators can move from one management interface to another painlessly, allowing them to immediately take advantage of the provided multi-device capabilities.

Key Panorama features include:

• Application Command Center: Provides a global summary of current application activity, allowing administrators to view application traffic sorted by usage (sessions and bytes), threats, risk profile and category.
• App-Scope: Provides a comparative view of application activity (present vs. a past timeframe) across either multiple devices or a single device to help administrators pinpoint problematic network behavior.
• Policy-based application usage control: Using a policy editor with a familiar look and feel, administrators can develop, deploy and manage application usage control polices using a wide range of criteria such as: user and group, application, application category, application behavior or underlying technology.
• Application browser: An integral component of the policy editor that helps administrators quickly research the application, its behavioral characteristics and underlying technology and then immediately translate the results into a security policy.
• Logging: Detailed logs are collected locally, leveraging device storage and eliminating the requirement for centralized logging. Logs can be dynamically filtered on individual fields as well as through regular expressions. Log filters can be saved for future use while results can be exported to Excel. To meet backup and retention requirements, individual device logs can be consolidated under Panorama or sent to a syslog server.
• Reporting: More than 30 predefined reports can be used as is or modified and saved for future use. Reports can be exported to PDF and scheduled for email delivery.
• Deployment flexibility: Panorama is deployed as a virtual appliance on VMware, providing the flexibility to enable deployment on a wide range of OS and hardware combinations.
