Managed Firewall Services

The PaloAlto range of firewalls perform next-generation packet inspection on every bit of data as it enters and leaves the organisation ensuring that risks are minimised while introducing virtually zero latency to network traffic which is vital for telephony or remote desktop technologies.

Key features for Next Gen Firewall

• Deep visibility and granular control for thousands of applications; ability to create custom applications; ability to manage unknown traffic based on policy
• User identification and control: VPNs, WLAN controllers, captive portal, proxies, Active Directory, eDirectory, Exchange, Terminal Services, syslog parsing, XML API
• Granular SSL decryption and inspection (inbound and outbound); per-policy SSH control (inbound and outbound)
• Networking: dynamic routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP, multiprotocol BGP), DHCP, DNS, NAT, route redistribution, ECMP, LLDP, BFD, tunnel content inspection
• QoS: policy-based traffic shaping (priority, guaranteed, maximum) per application, per user, per tunnel, based on DSCP classification
• Virtual systems: logical, separately managed firewall instances within a single physical firewall, with each virtual system’s traffic kept separate
• Zone-based network segmentation and zone protection; DoS protection against flooding of new sessions
