Palo Alto Firewalls - modern firewalls for modern times
The principle of classic firewalls is almost as old as the Internet itself. Where the exchange of data, some of which is highly confidential, takes place, it is imperative that security measures be implemented. This fundamental concept has not changed over the course of the last few decades. During this time, however, information technology has developed at breakneck speed. It stands to reason that decades-old safeguards will lose their effectiveness over time.
Compare this to historical developments: While city walls were an effective protection against attackers for centuries, they became less and less important as technology advanced, until they finally became completely ineffective with the proliferation of cannons. The race between defenders (users, companies) and attackers (hackers, cybercriminals, etc.) in the digital space is no different.
What is special about Palo Alto firewalls?
With traditional firewalls, you could basically only choose between two options:
You can see that these two options hardly allow any compromises.
To meet the current threats, therefore, a security standard was established recently that simply layered several security systems on top of each other: VPN gateways, content filters, IDS/IPS and packet filters. This currently still common method may offer a certain level of protection against threats, but in principle it is one thing: piecemeal.
To stay with the previous comparison with the wall that is supposed to protect a city against attackers, it is easy to understand that a city wall that has been repaired everywhere necessary carries an increased risk of collapsing under attack.
In the case of security software, this overlaying primarily leads to unnecessarily high consumption of resources, significantly increased latency, and high complexity. The latter, above all, creates the risk of application errors that can compromise your IT systems.
Palo Alto firewalls take a new approach. These firewalls are the latest generation security software. Not only are they capable of monitoring all applications in real time and inspecting the content of traffic; Palo Alto Firewalls use the innovative AI-based methods of "deep learning" to dynamically adapt to your security needs.
The result is a new level of security.
The result is a firewall that adapts to your personal or corporate security lines, finding the optimal compromise between necessary security and flexibility.

Conclusion
Palo Alto Firewalls are the logical evolution of IT security systems to meet the challenges of emerging threats from cyberspace. The use of AI-based analytics tools enables an IT security approach that fully adapts to your needs and also evolves dynamically.
Palo Alto Networks PA-1400 Series ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewalls, comprising the PA-1420 and PA-1410, are designed to provide secure connectivity for organizations’ branch offices as well as midsize businesses.
The controlling element of the PA-1400 Series is PANOS, 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—in other words, the elements that run your business—then serve as the basis of your security policies, resulting in improved security posture and reduced incident response time.

The Palo Alto Networks PA-220 is a machine learning-based next-generation firewall for branch offices, retail outlets and mid-sized enterprises.
The PA-220 is controlled by the PAN-OS® operating system, which natively classifies all traffic, including applications, threats and content, and assigns traffic to a user regardless of location or device type. Applications, content and users - the fundamental drivers of your business processes - are thus used as the basis for your security policies. This increases security and shortens incident response time.

Palo Alto Networks' PA-3400 Series ML-backed NGFWs, including the PA-3440, PA-3430, PA-3420, and PA-3410, are designed for use with Internet gateways in high-speed environments and provide effective protection for all traffic.
The first ML-powered Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) lets you defend against previously unknown threats. You'll benefit from comprehensive visibility into and end-to-end protection for your entire IT environment-including Internet of Things (IoT) devices-and avoid operator error with automated policy recommendations.
The PA-3400 Series uses the PAN-OS® operating system, like all Palo Alto Networks NGFWs. PAN-OS natively classifies all network traffic (including all application data, threats and legitimate content) and then assigns individual packets to a user regardless of location or device type. Depending on the applications, content and users (asoden factors relevant to your business), it then decides which security policies to to apply. This strengthens security and accelerates effective responses to security incidents.
