Palo Alto Networks
Comprehensive Cloud Security Protection for Enterprise-Grade Resilience
Introduction
Unified Defense Architecture: Protecting Your Digital Resilience
As AI-driven digital transformation accelerates, cyberattacks are becoming larger, faster, and more sophisticated—rendering traditional security frameworks insufficient.
As a global cybersecurity leader, Palo Alto Networks provides integrated protection across network, cloud, and security operations. Powered by App-ID™ , Precision AI, and real-time global threat intelligence, its unified management platform enables enterprises to detect threats in real time, prevent attacks proactively, and respond rapidly—building true digital resilience.
Services
Building proactive digital resilience through integrated platforms, Palo Alto Networks converges Cortex Security Operations with industry-leading Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW). This creates a unified ecosystem where the network acts as a strategic frontline and AI provides the core security intelligence.
Cortex Cloud
-
Cortex Cloud is Palo Alto Networks’ unified cloud security platform, combining application security, cloud posture management, runtime protection, and AI-driven detection and response (CDR).
By integrating Prisma Cloud CNAPP with the Cortex platform, it delivers cross-environment visibility, intelligent threat prioritization, and automated remediation—strengthening real-time cloud defense while reducing operational risk. -
Application Security
Protect applications end to end—from CI/CD to runtime. Cortex Cloud unifies code scanning, container protection, and runtime security, seamlessly integrating with existing DevSecOps toolchains to accurately identify and prioritize critical risks.
-
Cloud Posture
AI-driven posture management for multi-cloud environments. Powered by Precision AI™, Cortex Cloud continuously detects misconfigurations, permission drift, and data risks, enabling prioritized insights and automated remediation from a single console.
-
Cloud Runtime Security
Leveraging lightweight, cloud-native agents and deep Cortex XDR integration, Cortex Cloud neutralizes both known and unknown threats across dynamic environments. By unifying CNAPP capabilities into a single platform, it eliminates tool sprawl and agent fatigue, streamlining everything from initial detection to automated response.
-
SOC (Security Operations Center)
Cortex Cloud redefines the SOC by replacing legacy SIEM limitations with Precision AI™. By integrating native cloud data and automated event correlation, it neutralizes alert noise and streamlines security workflows. This unified SecOps approach enables teams to focus on what matters: high-fidelity detection and a significantly reduced MTTR.
Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)
-
Extending world-class security protection to the cloud, the cloud-native NGFW from Palo Alto Networks delivers application-layer visibility with elastic scalability. It enables consistent application identification and threat prevention across multi-cloud and hybrid environments, matching data center–grade security while reducing lateral movement risks through centralized policy management.
-
Seamless Security Consistency
Ensure consistent and compliant security across virtual machines and containers. Through a centralized management platform, security teams can synchronize policies across all cloud environments in one click without adopting new tools, ensuring consistency and compliance of security policies across environments.
-
Deep Application Identification (App-ID™)
Breaking beyond the limitations of traditional IP and port-based controls, App-ID™ accurately identifies application behavior, detects hidden threats, and blocks malware and data exfiltration in real time, enabling least-privilege, zero trust access.
-
Cloud-Native Integration and Automation
Supporting Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployment workflows, the firewalls are natively embedded into the development lifecycle. API-driven automation ensures that security scales dynamically with your applications, reducing the risk of manual configuration errors while while balancing security protection with development efficiency.
-
AI-Driven Intelligent Defense
Powered by Precision AI™, the NGFW integrates industry-leading URL filtering and DNS security to intercept zero-day attacks and advanced persistent threats (APTs) in milliseconds. This shifts the paradigm from passive monitoring to real-time proactive prevention, ensuring your digital assets remain shielded even as the threat landscape shifts.
Advantages
