The controlling element of Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls is PAN-OS. PAN-OS natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats and content, and then ties that traffic to the user, regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and user – in other words, the elements that run your business – then serve as the basis of your security policies, resulting in improved security posture and reduced incident response times.
