Palo Alto Networks Panorama

What Palo Alto Networks Panorama is

Palo Alto Networks Panorama gives organizations a central place to configure, manage, and monitor their Palo Alto Networks firewalls. It uses a shared security rule base for functions such as threat prevention, URL filtering, application awareness, user identification, and data filtering. Administrators can group devices by location, business function, or other criteria and push configurations to those groups. A policy analyzer helps evaluate policy changes before deployment. Graphical views show applications, URLs, threats, data, and traffic patterns across managed firewalls, including current and historical activity; correlated data can help surface compromised hosts and malicious behavior. Role-based controls and local or external authentication options help manage administrator access, while XML API access and plugins connect with supported services and platforms. Panorama can run as a virtual appliance on supported clouds and private hypervisors. Pricing is on request, and there is no free plan. If the support license expires, management and log collection continue, but software and content updates are unavailable.
