Applications Have Changed – Firewalls Have Not

• The gateway at the trust border is the right place to enforce policy control Sees all traffic Defines trust boundary

Collaboration / MediaSaaS Personal

• But applications have changed Ports ≠ Applications IP addresses ≠ Users Headers ≠ Content

Need to Restore Application Visibility & Control in the Firewall

Stateful Inspection ClassificationThe Common Foundation of Nearly All Firewalls

• Stateful Inspection classifies traffic by looking at the IP header- source IP

- source port

- destination IP

- destination port

- protocol

• Internal table creates mapping to well-known protocols/ports- HTTP = TCP port 80

- SMTP = TCP port 25

- SSL = TCP port 443

- etc, etc, etc…

Enterprise End Users Do What They Want• The Application Usage & Risk Report from Palo Alto Networks highlights actual behavior of 960,000

users across 60 organizations:- HTTP is the universal app protocol – 64% of BW, most HTTP apps not browser-based

- Video is king of the bandwidth hogs – 30x P2P filesharing

- Applications are the major unmanaged threat vector

• Business Risks: Productivity, Compliance, Operational Cost, Business Continuity and Data Loss

Firewall “helpers” Is Not The Answer

• Complex to manage

• Expensive to buy and maintain

• Firewall “helpers” have limited view of traffic

• Ultimately, doesn’t solve the problem

New Requirements for the Firewall

1. Identify applications regardless of port, protocol, evasive tactic or SSL

2. Identify users regardless of IP address

3. Scan application content in real-time (prevent threats and data leaks)

4. Granular visibility and policy control over application access / functionality

5. Multi-gigabit, in-line deployment with no performance degradation

The Right Answer: Make the Firewall Do Its Job

Identification Technologies Transforming the Firewall

App-IDIdentify the application

User-IDIdentify the user

Content-IDScan the content

PAN-OS Core Features

• Strong networking foundation: - Dynamic routing (OSPF, RIPv2)- Site-to-site IPSec VPN - SSL VPN- Tap mode – connect to SPAN port- Virtual wire (“Layer 1”) for true

transparent in-line deployment- L2/L3 switching foundation

• QoS traffic shaping- Max, guaranteed and priority - By user, app, interface, zone, and

more

• High Availability: - Active / passive - Configuration and session

synchronization- Path, link, and HA monitoring

• Virtualization:- All interfaces (physical or logical)

assigned to security zones- Establish multiple virtual systems to

fully virtualized the device (PA-4000 & PA-2000 only)

• Intuitive and flexible management- CLI, Web, Panorama, SNMP, Syslog

Flexible Deployment OptionsApplication Visibility Transparent In-Line Firewall Replacement

• Connect to span port

• Provides application visibility without inline deployment

• Deploy transparently behind existing firewall

• Provides application visibility & control without networking changes

• Replace existing firewall

• Provides application and network-based visibility and control, consolidated policy, high performance
