Frequently asked questions

A network security platform uses one set of policies and one source of threat intelligence across your whole network, instead of separate tools that don't work together. A threat detected in one place is blocked everywhere. Palo Alto Networks delivers this across hardware and software firewalls, SASE and the browser, managed from Strata Cloud Manager.
Frontier AI lets attackers find vulnerabilities and build working exploits in minutes, so teams can no longer count on time to patch. Attackers also use AI to automate reconnaissance and hide behind residential proxies and trusted cloud services. Network security must stop attacks before they reach their target, not after they happen.
Frontier Virtual Patching from Palo Alto Networks uses Frontier AI to find vulnerabilities and protect systems before they're publicly known, often before a patch exists. IPS signatures arrive only after disclosure. In its first 60 days, our multti-model AI harness NOVA found 14,000+ unpublished open-source vulnerabilities. Protections are vaulted so attackers can't access the sensitive vulnerability information.
Advanced IP Defense from Palo Alto Networks blocks attacker infrastructure itself, so it doesn't need a malicious file or domain. It continuously finds and validates attacker-controlled IPs, even behind residential proxies and cloud services, and blocks them before an attack begins. Zero Trust DNS stops attackers from connecting straight to an IP.
No. Palo Alto Networks Network Security Agents recommend actions and carry out only the ones you approve, within built-in guardrails. Six specialized agents help with deployment, troubleshooting, configuration, posture, threats and data protection, so your team offloads repetitive work and keeps control.
