Module description

The Palo Alto Networks PA-200, PA-500, PA-2000 Series, PA-3000 Series, PA-4000 Series, PA-5000 Series and PA-7050 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. These identification technologies enable enterprises to create business-relevant security polices - safely enabling organizations to adopt new applications.
