Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls vs. Enterprise IoT Security

Palo Alto Networks delivers cutting-edge Next-Generation Firewalls that integrate inline deep learning, a subset of machine learning, to identify and block even the most sophisticated zero-day attacks and evasive threats that traditional security tools might miss. These firewalls provide zero-delay signature updates across all network devices, ensuring immediate protection from newly discovered threats. The platform excels in visibility and management of IoT and connected devices by profiling them comprehensively—capturing type, vendor, model, and firmware data—and refining these profiles through cloud-scale analytics. Leveraging AIOps, the NGFWs enable organizations to optimize security operations, prevent outages by forecasting firewall health, and maximize ROI by avoiding extra costs on personnel or infrastructure. Consistently named a leader by Forrester and outperforming competitors in head-to-head tests, Palo Alto Networks’ NGFWs provide reliable, industry-leading protection. They secure various environments including branch offices, corporate campuses, data centers, public clouds, and 5G mobile networks, all under a unified security framework. This comprehensive coverage simplifies management, enforces Zero Trust network security, and supports seamless connectivity to applications and data anywhere. Automated machine learning-driven threat detection enables proactive defense strategies, reducing the risk of breaches before they happen. The platform’s integration with Palo Alto’s broader AI-powered security services further strengthens enterprise defenses. Overall, it empowers organizations to move beyond reactive security postures and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.

Presenting the ultimate all-in-one IoT security solution available today, designed to offer complete visibility, proactive prevention, and strict enforcement for every Internet of Things (IoT) and operational technology (OT) device. This cutting-edge solution not only protects your IoT investments but also mitigates potential hazards tied to them. In the current digital environment, the security of IoT devices is essential, considering that unmanaged IoT and OT devices account for around 30% of numerous enterprises. These devices can pose significant security challenges, often remaining exposed to threats that may go undetected. Thankfully, IoT security solutions are at hand. Palo Alto Networks enables security teams to quickly locate and protect all unmanaged IoT and OT devices using an innovative, machine-learning-driven, signature-less technique. Leveraging the sophisticated Zingbox technology, we have created the industry’s first ready-to-use IoT security solution that includes visibility, prevention, risk assessment, and enforcement, all integrated smoothly with our machine learning-enhanced Next-Generation Firewall. Furthermore, there is no requirement to invest in new network infrastructure or modify current operational processes, simplifying the enhancement of your security measures significantly. With such a powerful solution at their disposal, organizations can effectively tackle the intricate challenges of IoT security while ensuring their assets remain safeguarded. As they embrace this technology, they will also be better positioned to respond to emerging threats in real-time.
