Palo Alto

Disruption of a $5 Billion Firewall Market

Internet traffic including business applications, personal applications, SSL applications, port-hopping applications, web surfing, plus the many threats associated with all this now accounts for the majority of traffic traversing enterprise networks. Unfortunately, traditional ìport blocking firewalls can only classify traffic based only on ports and protocols not on applications. As a result, they are a completely ineffective security solution to manage the risks and rewards of today’s Internet applications across the enterprise.

And that sets the stage for a significant disruption in a $5 billion global market.

Palo Alto Networks has re-invented the enterprise network firewall, bringing a broad set of powerful innovations to a market that has largely been ignored by other vendors for the past 15 years. Our family of award-winning firewalls provides unprecedented visibility and control of applications and content by user, not just IP address at up to 10Gbps with no performance degradation. It’s not surprising that hundreds of enterprise IT organizations around the world have already replaced their old port-blocking firewalls with next generation firewalls from Palo Alto Networks.
