BeyondPerimeter Security Solutions
Palo Alto Networks NGFW design, deployment, and managed services. Secure every edge, control every connection.
Your network perimeter is still one of the most important control points in your environment. Beyond Cyber designs, deploys, and manages Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls to give you deep visibility and control over every connection.
The Industry's Leading NGFW Platform
Palo Alto Networks NGFWs run on PAN-OS, built around a Single-Pass, Parallel Processing (SP3) architecture that inspects traffic once across every function — rather than bolting security features onto a traditional firewall as separate passes.
What Palo Alto Networks NGFWs Deliver
ML-Powered Threat Prevention
Machine learning models block threats inline, including many not yet seen in signature databases.
App-ID
Identifies over 3,000 applications regardless of port, protocol, or evasion technique.
Content-ID
Real-time content inspection to stop threats and enforce policy inside allowed traffic.
User-ID
Ties policy to actual users and groups, not just IP addresses.
Device-ID
Identifies and classifies devices on the network, including IoT and OT.
WildFire
Cloud-based malware analysis that automatically shares new threat intelligence globally.
Post-Quantum Cryptography
Support for cryptography designed to withstand future quantum computing threats.
Panorama Management
Centralised policy management and visibility across every firewall in your estate.
Best Practice Assessment (BPA)
Securing Your Remote and Hybrid Workforce
GlobalProtect VPN
Traditional, always-on VPN connectivity extending your perimeter to remote users.
ZTNA 2.0 via Prisma Access
Zero Trust Network Access that grants least-privilege, continuously verified access to specific applications rather than the whole network.
VPN vs. Zero Trust Network Access
| Traditional VPN | ZTNA 2.0 | |
|---|---|---|
| Access Model | Network-level access | Application-level access |
| Trust Model | Trust once connected | Continuous verification |
| Security Inspection | Limited post-connect inspection | Continuous inline inspection |
| Access Granularity | Broad network segments | Per-application, least privilege |
| Ideal Use Case | Simple remote access | Modern hybrid workforce |
