Fast & Secure
PA-3050 Overview
The Palo Alto Networks PA-3000 Series is comprised of three high performance platforms, the PA-3060, the PA-3050 and the PA-3020, which are targeted at high-speed Internet gateway deployments. The PA-3000 Series manages network traffic flows using dedicated processing and memory for networking, security, threat prevention and management.
The controlling element of the PA-3000 Series is PAN-OS, a security-specific operating system that natively classifies all traffic, inclusive of applications, threats and content, then ties that traffic to the user, regardless of location or device type. The application, content, and userin other words, the business elements that run your businessare then used as the basis of your security policies, resulting in an improved security posture and a reduction in incident response time.

Security Features
1.Application Visibility
Port numbers, protocols, and IP addresses are useful for network devices, but they tell you nothing about what is on your network. Detailed information about the applications, users, and content traversing your network empowers you to quickly determine any risks they pose and quickly respond. Leveraging the rich context provided by Palo Alto Networks firewalls, our visualization, analysis, and reporting tools let you quickly learn more about activity on your network and analyze incidents from a current or comparative perspective.
2.User Visibility
An integral component for secure application enablement policies.
Traditionally, security policies were applied based on IP addresses, but the increasingly dynamic nature of users and applications mean that IP addresses alone have become ineffective as a policy control element for safe application enablement.
3.Antivirus
Network-based Malware Protection.
The broadening use of social media, messaging and other non-work-related applications introduce a variety of vectors for viruses, spyware, worms and other types of malwares. Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls allow you to block unwanted applications with App-ID, and then scan allowed applications for malware.
4.Data Filtering & File Blocking
The application function level control, file blocking by type, and data filtering features of our next-generation firewalls allow you to implement a range of policies that help balance permitting the use of personal or non-work-related applications, with the business and security risks of unauthorized file and data transfer.
5.Modern Malware Protection
WildFire: Protection from targeted and unknown threats.
Modern attackers are increasingly using targeted and new unknown variants of malware to sneak past traditional security solutions. To address this, Palo Alto Networks developed WildFire, which identifies new malware in minutes. By executing suspect files in a virtual environment and observing their behavior, Palo Alto Networks identifies malware quickly and accurately, even if the malware sample has never been seen before. Once a file is deemed malicious, WildFire automatically generates protections that are delivered to all WildFire subscribers within an hour of detection. A WildFire license provides your IT team with a wealth of forensics to see exactly who was targeted, the application used in the delivery, and any URLs that were part of the attack.
