PALO ALTO NETWORKS AND GIGAMON
Key Benefits of the Integration • Ensure controllable network connectivity, even in the event of device failure. • Manage asymmetric traffic flows to ensure efficient NGFW performance. • Deploy NGFWs out of band with full functionality to test performance, and then move them in-line at the touch of a button. • Aggregate or load-balance traffic flows to optimize firewall perfor- mance. PALO ALTO NETWORKS AND GIGAMON The Challenge Today’s networks are highly complex and mission critical, so neither downtime nor security breaches are acceptable. Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) that protect a network must be deployed for maximum effectiveness and minimal operational overhead. NGFWs need to accurately identify and control applications—regardless of port, protocol, evasive tactics
