What is Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall?
The next-generation firewall meticulously classifies all traffic, including encrypted data, based on application, application function, user identity, and content. Users can create detailed, granular security policies that safely enable approved applications, ensuring only authorized personnel can access sanctioned programs. This targeted approach drastically reduces the attack surface across the organization, providing robust protection against cyber threats
