The PA-7050 protects datacenters and high-speed networks with firewall throughput of up to 120 Gbps and, fullthreat prevention at speeds of up to 100 Gbps. To address the computationally intensive nature of full-stack classification and analysis at speeds of 120 Gbps, more than 400 processors are distributed across networking, security, switch managementand logging functions. The result is that the PA-7050 allows you to deploy next-generation security in your datacenters without compromising performance.

The controlling element of the PA-7050 is PAN-OSTM, a securityspecific operating system that natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats and content, then ties that traffic to the user, regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and user—the elements that run your business—are then used as the basis of your security policies, resulting in an improved security posture and a reduction in incident response time. All traffic classification, content inspection, policy lookup and execution are performed in a single pass. The single pass software architecture, when combined with the processing power of the PA-7050, ensures that you achieve predictable throughput.

Product Details

Port numbers, protocols, and IP addresses are useful for network devices, but they tell you nothing about what is on your network. Detailed information about the applications, users, and content traversing your network empowers you to quickly determine any risks they pose and quickly respond. Leveraging the rich context provided by Palo Alto Networks firewalls, our visualization, analysis, and reporting tools let you quickly learn more about activity on your network and analyze incidents from a current or comparative perspective.

An integral component for secure application enablement policies.

Traditionally, security policies were applied based on IP addresses, but the increasingly dynamic nature of users and applications mean that IP addresses alone have become ineffective as a policy control element for safe application enablement.

Network-based Malware Protection.

The broadening use of social media, messaging and other non-work-related applications introduce a variety of vectors for viruses, spyware, worms and other types of malwares. Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls allow you to block unwanted applications with App-ID, and then scan allowed applications for malware.

The application function level control, file blocking by type, and data filtering features of our next-generation firewalls allow you to implement a range of policies that help balance permitting the use of personal or non-work-related applications, with the business and security risks of unauthorized file and data transfer.

WildFire: Protection from targeted and unknown threats.

Modern attackers are increasingly using targeted and new unknown variants of malware to sneak past traditional security solutions. To address this, Palo Alto Networks developed WildFire, which identifies new malware in minutes. By executing suspect files in a virtual environment and observing their behavior, Palo Alto Networks identifies malware quickly and accurately, even if the malware sample has never been seen before. Once a file is deemed malicious, WildFire automatically generates protections that are delivered to all WildFire subscribers within an hour of detection. A WildFire license provides your IT team with a wealth of forensics to see exactly who was targeted, the application used in the delivery, and any URLs that were part of the attack.
