Palo Alto-Advanced Network Security

Example

Preventing malware downloads from phishing emails.

Scenario

In an organization, an employee clicks on a link from a phishing email, attempting to download malware. Palo Alto's firewall intercepts this traffic, identifies the malicious content, and prevents the download, thereby protecting the network.

Example

Blocking access to malicious or inappropriate websites.

Scenario

A school deploys Palo Alto's firewall to ensure students can't access inappropriate content or websites known for distributing malware. The firewall's URL filtering capability blocks these sites, maintaining a safe and focused online environment.

Example

Regulating the use of specific applications within a network.

Scenario

A company wants to restrict the use of high-bandwidth-consuming applications like video streaming services during work hours to ensure network resources are efficiently utilized for business operations. Palo Alto's firewalls can identify and control application usage, allowing the company to enforce these policies.

Example

Securely connecting remote employees to the corporate network.

Scenario

With the rise of remote work, a corporation uses Palo Alto's VPN features to allow employees to securely connect to the corporate network from anywhere, ensuring that remote access is as secure as in-office access.
