Palo Alto Networks PA-500 Series Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) comprise the PA-505, PA-510, PA520, PA-540, PA-545-POE, PA-550, PA-555-POE, and PA-560 models. This series brings ML-powered NGFW capabilities to distributed enterprise branch offices, retail locations, and midsize businesses.

The controlling element of the PA-500 Series NGFWs is PAN-OS®, the same software that runs all Palo Alto Networks NGFWs. PAN-OS natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats, and content, and then ties that traffic to the user regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and user-the elements that run your business-serve as the basis of your security policies, resulting in an improved security posture and reduced incident response time. PAN-OS embeds machine learning (ML) in the core of the firewall to provide inline signatureless attack prevention for filebased attacks while identifying and immediately stopping never-before-seen phishing attempts.

Application Identification and Categorization with Full Layer 7 Inspection

App-ID™ identifies and categorizes all applications, on all ports, all the time, with full Layer 7 inspection, supporting the following capabilities:

Uses advanced techniques, such as protocol decoding, heuristics, and signature matching, to accurately identify applications across the network, regardless of the port, protocol, or encryption methods used. The optional App-ID Cloud Engine (ACE) service provides on-demand App-IDs for SaaS applications.
Provides a comprehensive understanding of the risks and values associated with various applications, which aids in informed decision-making about network security policies.
Allows for the effective enforcement of security policies tailored to specific applications, by centralizing the identification and control of applications at the firewall level.
Identifies and manages evasive or custom applications that typically bypass traditional security measures.
Continuously updates its application identifications, ensuring it stays effective against the latest application trends and tactics.
Uses cutting-edge AI techniques to enhance precision in identifying and categorizing AI-powered applications. These techniques ensure that even the most advanced and dynamic applications are accurately recognized and appropriately managed within the network.
