Palo Alto Networks Solution
Continuous validation of Best Practices for optimal health and stability of Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls.
Validate Best Practices
Provide a stable platform to build your defense against security threats:
Automate Maintenance Tasks
Automate repetitive and manual intensive maintenance tasks such as identifying if:
Detect High Availability Unreadiness
Proactively automate tasks to ensure seamless failover in the event of firewall failure. Check active and standby devices for mismatches such as:
Gain Network Visibility
Continuously evaluate of critical resources to avoid outages:
- System – CPU, TCP host, Memory, Disk, critical processes, kernel tables, hardware components
- Network interfaces – packet drops, errors, link utilization, data plane pool utilization
- Protocols – routing tables, Layer 2 & layer 3 protocols (BGP)
- Connections – VPN, concurrent connections, connection to SDN controllers and management applications
- Management resources – identity servers, syslog servers, Certificate Authority, DNS servers
Demonstrate Compliance & Meet Audits
Ensure your infrastructure meets internal and external compliance requirements:
- Configuration and misconfiguration avoiding human errors, e.g. static routing tables.
- Ensure NTP server is operational for PCI compliance
- Checks for OS software version, hotfixes, DNS servers to ensure compliance.
