Why Choose Palo Alto Networks?
Pioneering security technologies that have defined the NGFW market for nearly two decades.
ML-Powered NGFW (Industry First)
Palo Alto pioneered ML-powered NGFW — embedding machine learning directly into the firewall core to stop zero-day threats inline, without requiring cloud lookups or sacrificing throughput.
App-ID — Application Intelligence
App-ID classifies every flow by application, not just port — over 3,000 applications identified regardless of port, protocol, or encryption. The foundation of Palo Alto's superior visibility and control.
Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader
Palo Alto Networks has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Firewalls for over 10 consecutive years — consistently rated highest for both ability to execute and completeness of vision.
WildFire Threat Intelligence
WildFire analyses unknown files and URLs in a cloud-based sandbox, converting new discoveries into real-time protections shared with every Palo Alto customer globally within 5 minutes.
Zero Trust Architecture
PAN-OS includes built-in ZTNA capabilities — App-ID-based micro-segmentation, User-ID identity awareness, and GlobalProtect remote access — enabling full Zero Trust network architectures without third-party add-ons.
Scales from SMB to Hyperscale
A single PAN-OS operating system runs across the entire PA-Series — from the PA-440 desktop (1.5 Gbps) to the PA-7080 chassis (590 Gbps) — with consistent policy, management, and feature set.

Palo Alto Networks — Frequently Asked Questions
What is Palo Alto Networks?
Palo Alto Networks is an American cybersecurity company founded in 2005, headquartered in Santa Clara, California. It is the inventor of the App-ID next-generation firewall and is globally recognised as a leader in enterprise network security. Palo Alto serves over 80,000 organisations in more than 150 countries.
What makes Palo Alto NGFW different?
Palo Alto invented App-ID — which classifies traffic by application regardless of port or protocol — and pioneered ML-Powered NGFW, which embeds machine learning directly into the firewall to stop zero-day threats inline. This architectural approach delivers superior application visibility and threat prevention compared to traditional port-based firewalls or even first-generation NGFW designs.
What is App-ID?
App-ID is Palo Alto's application classification technology. It identifies over 3,000 applications regardless of port, protocol, SSL encryption, or evasive techniques. Rather than writing rules based on IP addresses and ports, Palo Alto administrators write rules based on the actual application — providing more meaningful security control and visibility.
What is WildFire?
WildFire is Palo Alto's cloud-based threat analysis and malware prevention service. Unknown files and URLs are sent to WildFire's cloud sandbox for deep analysis. When new threats are discovered, protections are automatically generated and distributed to all WildFire subscribers globally within 5 minutes — making it one of the fastest threat intelligence sharing networks in cybersecurity.
