The controlling element of the PA-400 Series is PAN-OS®, the same software that runs all Palo Alto
Networks NGFWs. PAN-OS natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats, and c ­ ontent,
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 times.

Key Security and Connectivity Features

ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall
• Embeds machine learning (ML) in the core of the firewall to provide inline signatureless attack
prevention for file-based attacks while identifying and immediately stopping never-before-seen
phishing attempts.
• Leverages cloud-based ML processes to push zero-delay signatures and instructions back to the NGFW.
• Uses behavioral analysis to detect IoT devices and make policy recommendations; cloud-delivered
and natively integrated service on the NGFW.
• Automates policy recommendations that save time and reduce the chance of human error.

Identifies and Categorizes All Applications, on All Ports, All the Time, with
Full Layer 7 Inspection
• Identifies the applications traversing your network irrespective of port, protocol, evasive techniques,
or encryption (SSL/TLS). In addition, it automatically discovers and controls new applications to
keep pace with the SaaS explosion with SaaS Security subscription.
• Uses the application, not the port, as the basis for all your safe enablement policy decisions: allow,
deny, schedule, inspect, and apply traffic-shaping.
• Offers the ability to create custom App-ID™ tags for proprietary applications or request App-ID
­development for new applications from Palo Alto Networks.
• Identifies all payload data within the application (e.g., files and data patterns) to block malicious
files and thwart data exfiltration attempts.
• Creates standard and customized application usage reports, including software-as-a-service (SaaS)
reports that provide insight into all sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS traffic on your network.
• Enables safe migration of legacy Layer 4 rule sets to App-ID-based rules with built-in Policy
­Optimizer, giving you a rule set that is more secure and easier to manage.
Check out the App-ID tech brief for more information.

Enforces Security for Users at Any Location, on Any Device, While

Adapting Policy Based on User Activity
• Enables visibility, security policies, reporting, and forensics based on users and groups—not just IP
addresses.
• Easily integrates with a wide range of repositories to leverage user information: wireless LAN
­controllers, VPNs, directory servers, SIEMs, proxies, and more.
• Allows you to define Dynamic User Groups (DUGs) on the firewall to take time-bound security
actions without waiting for changes to be applied to user directories.
• Applies consistent policies irrespective of users’ locations (office, home, travel, etc.) and devices
(iOS and Android mobile devices; macOS, Windows, and Linux desktops and laptops; Citrix and
Microsoft VDI; and terminal servers).

 • Prevents corporate credentials from leaking to third-party websites and prevents reuse of stolen
credentials by enabling multifactor authentication (MFA) at the network layer for any application
without any application changes.
• Provides dynamic security actions based on user behavior to restrict suspicious or malicious users.
• Consistently authenticates and authorizes your users, regardless of location and where user identity
stores live, to move quickly toward a Zero Trust security posture with Cloud Identity Engine—an
­entirely new cloud-based architecture for identity-based security.
Check out the Cloud Identity Engine solution brief for more information.

Prevents Malicious Activity Concealed in Encrypted Traffic

• Inspects and applies policy to SSL/TLS-encrypted traffic, both inbound and outbound, including
for traffic that uses TLSv1.3 and HTTP/2.
• Offers rich visibility into TLS traffic, such as amount of encrypted traffic, SSL/TLS versions, cipher
suites, and more, without decrypting.
• Enables control over use of legacy TLS protocols, insecure ciphers, and misconfigured certificates
to mitigate risks.
• Facilitates easy deployment of decryption and lets you use built-in logs to troubleshoot issues,
such as applications with pinned certificates.
• Lets you enable or disable decryption flexibly based on URL category, source and destination
zone, address, user, user group, device, and port, for privacy and regulatory compliance purposes.
• Allows you to create a copy of decrypted traffic from the firewall (i.e., decryption mirroring) and
send it to traffic collection tools for forensics, historical purposes, or data loss prevention (DLP).
• Allows you to intelligently forward all traffic (decrypted TLS, undecrypted TLS, and non-TLS) to
third-party security tools with network packet broker and optimize your network performance and
reduce operating expenses.
Refer to this decryption whitepaper to learn where, when, and how to decrypt to prevent threats and
secure your business.

Offers Centralized Management and Visibility

• Benefits from centralized management, configuration, and visibility for multiple distributed Palo
Alto Networks NGFWs (irrespective of location or scale) through Panorama network security
management, in one unified user interface.
• Streamlines configuration sharing through Panorama, with templates and device groups, and
scales log collection as logging needs increase. PA-410, PA-415, PA-415-5G, PA-440, PA-445, PA-
450, PA-455, PA-455-5G, and PA-460 allow export session logs to Panorama and Strata Cloud
Manager. PA-415, PA-415-5G, PA-440, PA-445, PA-450, PA-455, PA-455-5G, and PA-460 also
support on-box session logging.
• Enables users, through the Application Command Center (ACC), to obtain deep visibility and
comprehensive insights into network traffic and threats.

Offers AI-Powered Unified Management and Operations with

Strata Cloud Manager
• Prevent network disruptions: Forecast deployment health and proactively identify ­capacity
bottlenecks up to seven days in advance with predictive analytics to proactively prevent
­operational disruptions.

 • Strengthen security in real time: AI-powered analysis of policies and real-time compliance
checks against industry and Palo Alto Networks best practices.
• Enable simple and consistent network security management and ops: Manage configuration
and security policies across all form factors, including SASE, hardware and software firewalls, and all
security services to ensure consistency and reduce operational overhead.

Best-in-Class Cloud-Delivered Security Services Powered by Precision AI

The typical enterprise’s attack surface has grown significantly with the mass adoption of hybrid work,
cloud, internet of things (IoT), and software as a service (SaaS). Furthermore, the threat landscape is
