The Palo Alto Networks PA-3050 is targeted at high speed Internet gateway deployments. It manages network traffic flows using dedicated processing and memory for networking, security, threat prevention and management.
The controlling element of the PA-3050 is PAN-OS, a security-specific operating system that natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats and content, then ties that traffic to the user, regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and user - in other words, the business elements that run your business - are then used as the basis of your security policies, resulting in an improved security posture and a reduction in incident response time.
