PaloAlto PA-5020
PaloAlto PA-5020
The Palo Alto Networks™ PA-5000 Series is comprised of three high performance models, the PA-5060, the PA-5050 and the PA-5020, all of which are targeted at high speed datacenter and Internet gateway deployments.
Use the PA-5060, PA-5050, and PA-5020 to safely enable applications, users, and content in high-speed datacenter, large Internet gateway, service provider, and multi-tenant environments. Predictable throughput levels of up to 20 Gbps are achieved using dedicated, function-specific processing for networking, security, content inspection, and management.
The PA-5000 Series delivers up to 20 Gbps of throughput using dedicated processing and memory for the key functional areas of networking, security, threat prevention and management. To ensure that management access is always available, irrespective of the traffic load, the data and control planes are physically separated. The controlling element of the PA-5000 Series 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.
| Subscriptions You Can Use With the Firewall | |
| Threat Prevention | Threat Prevention provides: • Antivirus, anti-spyware (command-and-control), and vulnerability protection. • Built-in external dynamic lists that you can use to secure your network against malicious hosts. • Ability to identify infected hosts that try to connect to malicious domains. • Get Started with Threat Prevention |
| DNS Security | Provides enhanced DNS sinkholing capabilities by querying DNS Security, an extensible cloud-based service capable of generating DNS signatures using advanced predictive analytics and machine learning. This service provides full access to the continuously expanding DNS-based threat intelligence produced by Palo Alto Networks. To set up DNS Security, you must first purchase and install a Threat Prevention license. • Get Started with DNS Security |
| URL Filtering | Provides the ability to not only control web-access, but how users interact with online content based on dynamic URL categories. You can also prevent credential theft by controlling the sites to which users can submit their corporate credentials. To set up URL Filtering, you must purchase and install a subscription for one of the supported URL filtering databases: PAN-DB or BrightCloud. With PAN-DB, you can set up access to the PAN-DB public cloud or to the PAN-DB private cloud. • Get Started with URL Filtering |
| WildFire | Although basic WildFire® support is included as part of the Threat Prevention license, the WildFire subscription service provides enhanced services for organizations that require immediate coverage for threats, frequent WildFire signature updates, advanced file type forwarding (APK, PDF, Microsoft Office, and Java Applet), as well as the ability to upload files using the WildFire API. A WildFire subscription is also required if your firewalls will be forwarding files to an on-premise WF-500 appliance. • Get Started with WildFire |
| AutoFocus | Provides a graphical analysis of firewall traffic logs and identifies potential risks to your network using threat intelligence from the AutoFocus portal. With an active license, you can also open an AutoFocus search based on logs recorded on the firewall. • Get Started with AutoFocus |
| Cortex Data Lake Cortex Data Lake was previously called the Logging Service. The Customer Support Portal and firewall web interface both still reference the Logging Service in some places, including the device license name that’s displayed in the firewall web interface (Device > Licenses). |
Provides cloud-based, centralized log storage and aggregation. The Logging Service is required or highly-recommended to support several other cloud-delivered services, including Magnifier, GlobalProtect cloud service, and Traps management service. • Get Started with Cortex Data Lake |
| GlobalProtect | Provides mobility solutions and/or large-scale VPN capabilities. By default, you can deploy GlobalProtect portals and gateways (without HIP checks) without a license. If you want to use advanced GlobalProtect features (HIP checks and related content updates, the GlobalProtect Mobile App, IPv6 connections, or a GlobalProtect Clientless VPN) you will need a GlobalProtect license (subscription) for each gateway. • Get Started with GlobalProtect |
| Virtual Systems | This license is required to enable support for multiple virtual systems on PA-3200 Series firewalls. In addition, you must purchase a Virtual Systems license if you want to increase the number of virtual systems beyond the base number provided by default on PA-5200 Series, and PA-7000 Series firewalls (the base number varies by platform). The PA-800 Series, PA-220, and VM-Series firewalls do not support virtual systems. • Get Started with Virtual Systems |
