The most advanced access policy platform available
It used to be easy to walk by someone’s desk and see what they had connected to the network, but those days are long gone. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and unmanaged devices, like urveillance cameras and other emerging endpoints in the Internet of Things (IoT) category, are making it impossible for IT to maintain complete visibility.
When policy and access control are discussed, there’s usually an immediate association with wireless and unmanaged devices such as smartphones and IoT devices. As these devices are often used outside of the workplace and normally connect over the air, policy controls and device profiling efforts have been solely focused on wireless access. This has led to wired access controls being overshadowed or not configured at all, leading to security gaps in many organizations. And as IT Security experts are well aware, networks are only as strong as their weakest link.
The PA-5000 Series next-generation firewalls prevent threats, and safely enable applications, across a versatile set of high-performance use cases (e.g., Internet Gateway, DC, and SP environments). The series includes the PA-5060, PA-5050, and PA-5020, which are based on the same architectural foundation as all of our next-generation firewalls.
The PA-3000 Series next-generation firewalls prevent threats and safely enable applications. The series includes the PA-3060, PA-3050, and PA-3020, which are based on the same architectural foundation as all of our next-generation firewalls.
The PA-500 next-generation firewall prevents threats and safely enables applications. Based on the same architectural foundation as all of our next-generation firewalls, the PA-500 is our smallest rack-mount form factor.
Fundamental shifts in application usage, user behavior, and complex, convoluted network infrastructure create a threat landscape that exposes weaknesses in traditional port-based network security. Your users want access to an increasing number of applications, operating across a wide range of device types, often with little regard for the business or security risks. Meanwhile, data center expansion, network segmentation, virtualization, and mobility initiatives are forcing you to rethink how to enable access to applications and data, while protecting your network from a new, more sophisticated class of advanced threats that evade traditional security mechanisms.
