Palo Alto Networks | Next-Generation Security Platform | Datasheet 1The Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Security Platform has four key characteristics that enable the prevention of successful cyberattacks:1. Natively integrated technologies that:• Leverage a single-pass architecture to exert posi-tive control based on applications, users and con-tent to reduce the organizational attack surface.• Support open communication, orchestration and visibility.• Enable consistent security posture, providing the same protection on the endpoint, in the data center, on the network, in public and private clouds, and across SaaS environments.2. Automationof protection by creating and repro-gramming security postures in real-time across the network, endpoint and cloud environments to counter new threats, allowing teams to scale with technology, not people.3. Extensibility and flexibility that allows for consistent protection as users move off physical networks, and as organizations expand and adopt new technologies and architectures. 4. Threat intelligence sharingthat enhances prevention and minimizes the spread of attacks by taking ad-vantage of the network effects from the automated sharing of protections across a global community.Palo Alto Networks Prevention Platform• Next-Generation Firewall: Our next-generation firewalls make use of a single-pass architecture, enabling security capability that is unique in the industry. This architecture is implemented in a portfolio of both physical and virtualized appliances, designed to cover a range of performance and use case requirements, delivering the power organizations need to stop evasive cyberattacks.Features and management are consistent across the port-folio. Integration with GlobalProtect™ network security for endpoints extends policy-based security to mobile devices whether on-premise or remote. NEXT-GENERATIONSECURITY PLATFORMPalo Alto Networks®Next-Generation Security Platform enables enterprises, service providers and governments to protect our digital way of life with a prevention-first approach to cybersecurity. Our platform allows organizations to reduce their threat exposure by first enabling the applications for all users or devices, regardless of location, and then preventing threats within application flows, tying application use to user identities across physical and cloud-based networks.NEXT-GENERATIONFIREWALLTHREAT INTELLIGENCECLOUDAUTOMATEDEXTENSIBLENATIVELYINTEGRATEDADVANCED ENDPOINTPROTECTIONCLOUDNETWORKENDPOINTPrevent breaches.
