Palo Alto Networks on Wednesday unveiled a new firewall powered by machine learning, a firewall for Kubernetes, and an IoT security solution.
Palo Alto Networks has announced a new next-generation firewall (NGFW) that uses machine learning (ML) to help organizations detect and block threats. These firewalls are powered by the latest version of the company’s firewall operating system, PAN-OS 10.0, which is expected to become available in mid-July.
The company says PAN-OS 10.0 brings more than 70 new features and capabilities, including improved protection against unknown malware and phishing attacks, simplified TLS decryption, improved performance, automated quarantining for compromised devices, and real-time signature streaming for faster detection.
PAN-OS 10.0 also introduces CN-Series firewalls, which are specifically designed for Kubernetes container environments.
“As the industry’s first NGFW built specifically for Kubernetes environments, CN-Series firewalls leverage deep container context to protect inbound, outbound and east-west traffic between container trust zones (i.e. between namespaces, or between PCI-infected apps and non-PCI apps), along with other components of enterprise IT environments,” explained Mukesh Gupta, VP of product management at Palo Alto Networks.
The network security company also announced IoT Security, a new IoT security solution that is offered as a subscription to customers of the new ML-powered NGFW.
IoT Security leverages technology obtained by Palo Alto Networks through the acquisition of IoT security company Zingbox.
“We have enhanced Zingbox’s technology with Palo Alto Networks patented App-ID technology, allowing it to automatically discover new IoT devices, assess risks and convert the ..
