Module description

The Palo Alto Networks PA-200, PA-500, PA-2000 Series, PA-3000 Series, PA-4000 Series, and PA-5000 Series next-generation firewalls are multi-chip standalone modules that provide network security by enabling enterprises to see and control applications, users, and content using three unique identification technologies: App-ID, User-ID, and Content-ID. This unique ability empowers customers to safely enable applications, make informed decisions on network access, and strengthen network security.
