Key Palo Alto Networks Technologies
IT departments are in a quandary. On one hand, they are asked to enable business expansion by embracing new applications and technologies in a controlled yet secure manner. On the other hand, they are faced with an application landscape that has evolved significantly, resulting in a loss of visibility into, and control over the applications on their networks.What's needed is a fresh approach—one that focuses on accurately identifying the actual application, not just the port it uses; one that inspects all traffic, not just a selective sampling; and one that accomplishes it all at line rate. Palo Alto Networks is redefining the firewall based on innovative application identification technology that enables visibility and control of Internet applications running on enterprise networks. With the release of the PA-4000 Series, Palo Alto Networks delivers unprecedented application visibility and control, utilizing three ground breaking technologies:
App-ID, an application identification technology that classifies traffic irrespective of port, protocol, SSL encryption or evasive tactics. LEARN MORE 
FlashMatch, a real-time stream-based threat prevention engine that blocks viruses, spyware, and application vulnerabilities. LEARN MORE
A purpose-built platform with dedicated processing resources for security, networking, threat prevention and management to provide line-rate, low-latency performance under load. LEARN MORE
True application visibility and control. Only from Palo Alto Networks.
