Zero Trust Network Security
Palo Alto Networks is a next-generation security company maintaining trust in the digital age by helping tens of thousands of organizations worldwide prevent cyber breaches. Reactive security can’t keep up with today’s threats — or prepare you for tomorrow’s. We’ve changed the game by making network security intelligent and proactive. Driven by innovation, our award-winning security features the world’s first ML-Powered NGFW and empowers you to stay ahead.
Firewall
[fai/uh/wawl] Noun – A virtual wall of fire
A firewall is a network security device that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic and permits or blocks data packets based on a set of security rules. Its purpose is to establish a barrier between your internal network and incoming traffic from external sources (such as the internet) in order to block malicious traffic like viruses and hackers.
Firewalls can either be software or hardware, though it’s best to have both. A software firewall is a program installed on each computer and regulates traffic through port numbers and applications, while a physical firewall is a piece of equipment installed between your network and gateway.
Don’t just react. Think ahead.
Sandboxing
[ˈsan(d)ˌbäksiNG] Noun – A virtual playground
A sandbox is an isolated testing environment that enables users to run programs or execute files without affecting the application, system or platform on which they run. Software developers use sandboxes to test new programming code. Cybersecurity professionals use sandboxes to test potentially malicious software. Without sandboxing, an application or other system process could have unlimited access to all the user data and system resources on a network.
Sandboxes are also used to safely execute malicious code to avoid harming the device on which the code is running, the network or other connected devices. Using a sandbox to detect malware offers an additional layer of protection against security threats, such as stealthy attacks and exploits that use zero-day vulnerabilities.3
Why Paloalto?
The Paloalto platform was built from the ground up for breach prevention, with threat information shared across security functions system-wide, and designed to operate in increasingly mobile, modern networks.
