Palo Alto Networks PA-3200 Series next-generation firewalls – comprising the PA-3260, PA-3250, and PA-3220 – are targeted at high-speed internet gateway deployments. PA-3200 Series appliances secure all traffic, including encrypted traffic, using dedicated processing and memory for networking, security, threat prevention, and management.
The controlling element of the PA-3200 Series is PAN-OS®, which 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 time.
