The PA-200 is a true desktop-size platform that safely enables applications, users, and content in your enterprise branch offices at throughput speeds of up to 100 Mbps. Dedicated computing resources for the functional areas of networking, security, content inspection, and management ensure predictable firewall performance.

The Palo Alto Networks™ PA-200 is targeted at high speed firewall deployments within distributed enterprise branch offices. The PA-200 manages network traffic flows using dedicated computing resources for networking, security, threat prevention and management.

The high speed backplane is divided into separate data and control planes, thereby ensuring that management access is always available, irrespective of the traffic load. The controlling element of the PA-200 next-generation firewall is PAN-OS™, a security-specific operating system that allows organizations to safely enable applications using App-ID, User-ID, Content-ID, GlobalProtect, and WildFire.

Classify all applications, on all port, all the time with App-ID.

• Identify the application, regardless of port, encryption (SSL or SSH) or evasive technique employed.
• Use the application, not the port, as the basis for all safe enablement policy decisions: allow, deny, schedule, inspect, apply traffic shaping.
• Categorize unidentified applications for policy control, threat forensics, custom App-ID creation, or packet capture for App-ID development.

Extend safe application enablement policies to any user, at any location, with User-ID and GlobalProtect.

• Agentless integration with Active Directory, LDAP, eDirectory Citrix and Microsoft Terminal Services.
• Integrate with NAC, 802.1X wireless and other non-standard user repositories with an XML API.
• Deploy consistent policies to local and remote users running Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android or iOS platforms.

Protect against all threat—both known and unknown—with Content-ID and Wildfire

• Block a range of known threats including exploits, malware and spyware, across all ports, regardless of common threat evasion tactics employed.
• Limit unauthorized transfer of files and sensitive data, and control non-workrelated web surfing.
• Identify unknown malware, analyze for more than 100 malicious behaviors, automatically create and deliver a signature in the next available update.

Subscriptions

The following Palo Alto Networks subscriptions unlock certain firewall features or enable the firewall to leverage a Palo Alto Networks cloud-delivered service (or both). Here you can read more about each service or feature that requires a subscription to work with the firewall. To enable a subscription, you must first Activate Subscription Licenses; once active, most subscription services can use Dynamic Content Updates to provide new and updated functionality to the firewall.
