PAN-OS is the software foundation of Palo Alto Networks' Next-Generation Firewalls, delivering comprehensive security by identifying and controlling applications, users, and devices. With features like App-ID™ for application identification, User-ID™ for user-based policies, and Device-ID™ for device recognition, PAN-OS enables granular control over network traffic. It also includes Content-ID™ to manage and inspect content, ensuring threats are detected and prevented. The operating system supports SSL/TLS decryption, allowing inspection of encrypted traffic, and integrates with cloud identity management solutions for streamlined user authentication. By leveraging machine learning and AI capabilities, PAN-OS enhances threat detection and prevention, adapting to evolving security challenges.

Features:

• App-ID™: Identifies applications traversing the network, regardless of port, protocol, or encryption, enabling precise control over application usage.
• User-ID™: Associates network traffic with user identities, allowing the creation of user-based security policies.
• Device-ID™: Recognizes devices on the network, facilitating device-specific policy enforcement.
• Content-ID™: Inspects and controls content within network traffic to prevent threats and data leakage.
• SSL/TLS Decryption: Decrypts encrypted traffic for thorough inspection, ensuring hidden threats are detected.
• Cloud Identity Engine: Simplifies user authentication across multiple identity providers, supporting Zero Trust architectures.
• Machine Learning Integration: Utilizes AI and machine learning to enhance threat detection and automate policy recommendations.
