Palo Alto Networks Panorama

Palo Alto Networks Panorama centrally configures, manages, and monitors Palo Alto Networks firewalls. It provides one security rule base covering threat prevention, URL filtering, application awareness, user identification, and data filtering. Device groups let administrators organize firewalls by location, business function, or other criteria and push configurations. A policy analyzer evaluates policy-change impact before deployment. Graphical views show applications, URLs, threats, data files, and traffic patterns across managed firewalls, with current and historical information; correlation helps surface compromised hosts and malicious behavior. Role-based access controls restrict functions, device groups, templates, and firewalls. Panorama supports local and external authentication, XML API access, and plugins for platforms including AWS, Azure, VMware NSX, KVM, and Google Cloud Platform. It runs as a virtual appliance on supported clouds or private hypervisors. Pricing is available on request and there is no free plan.
