About Palo Alto Networks

Palo Alto Networks is the leader in innovative, next generation Firewalls. Founded by security visionary Nir Zuk, they offer real innovation in the firewall by enabling unprecedented visibility and control of applications and content – by user, not just IP address – at up to 10Gbps with no performance degradation.

Based on patent-pending App-ID™ technology, Palo Alto Networks' next generation firewalls accurately identify applications - regardless of port, protocol, evasive tactic or SSL encryption - and scan content to stop threats and prevent data leakage. Enterprises can for the first time embrace Web 2.0 and maintain complete visibility and control, while significantly reducing total cost of ownership through device consolidation.

Here are some of the unique capabilities available only in next generation firewalls from Palo Alto Networks.
