News and Product info from SecurEdge

Today's threat environment requires organizations to know everything that is happening on their networks and implement effective application controls. The joint solution of SecurEdge Networks with Palo Alto Networks provides customers the precision, actionable intelligence, and technical agility needed to respond proactively to any emerging threat.

The Next Generation Firewall

Internet traffic – including business applications, personal applications, SSL applications, port-hopping applications, web surfing, plus the many threats associated with all this – now accounts for the majority of traffic traversing enterprise networks.  Unfortunately, traditional “port blocking” firewalls can only classify traffic based only on ports and protocols – not on applications. As a result, they are a completely ineffective security solution to manage the risks and rewards of today’s Internet applications across the enterprise. 

And that sets the stage for a significant disruption in a $5 billion global market.

Palo Alto Networks has re-invented the enterprise network firewall, bringing a broad set of powerful innovations to a market that has largely been ignored by other vendors for the past 15 years.

More about Palo Alto Networks and Next Generation Firewalls

Palo Alto Networks™ next-generation firewalls enable unprecedented visibility and granular policy control of applications and content—by user, not just IP address—at up to 10Gbps with no performance degradation. Based on patent-pending App-ID™ technology, Palo Alto Networks firewalls accurately identify and control applications—regardless of port, protocol, evasive tactic or SSL encryption—and scan content to stop threats and prevent data leakage. Enterprises can for the first time embrace Web 2.0 and maintain complete visibility and control, while significantly reducing total cost of ownership through device consolidation.

SecurEdge Networks partnership with Palo Alto Networks will allow SecurEdge to provide customers with the best of firewall technology, not just to protect against threats but stop threats and prevent data leakage.
