Palo Alto Networks introduces Closed Loop Solution for Cyber Security

To deliver a private cloud deployment option for advanced persistent threat (APT) detection, analysis and prevention, Palo Alto Networks has announced availability of a platform named WF-500 appliance.

This new platform is also designed to meet the needs of customers with restrictions that prevent them from accessing a public cloud option. WF-500 appliance delivers the comprehensive sandbox detection and analysis capabilities of the Palo Alto Networks public cloud-based WildFire subscription offering on a customer-owned platform.  When deployed with an inline Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall, the WF-500 also offers full prevention capabilities.

The solution has the ability to automatically block malware and APTs with the Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall.

Sharat Sinha, Vice-President, APAC, Palo Alto Networks, said, Quickly identifying and eliminating previously unknown threats across all applications is the key to protecting an organization from today’s advanced threats. Only Palo Alto Networks offers its customers a public or private cloud deployment choice and the closed loop capabilities to most efficiently and effectively stop APTs.

The WF-500 appliance ensures the customers to detect, analyze, and eradicate suspected threats in a private cloud under their control.

The Palo Alto Networks WF-500 appliance is available now.
