Palo Alto Networks PA-440 Next-Generation Firewall

PA-440 is part of the PA-400 series, designed by Palo Alto Networks to bring next-generation firewall (NGFW) capabilities to distributed enterprise branches, retail locations, and small to medium-sized businesses. The Palo Alto PA-440 firewall has a compact desktop form factor that meets various performance demands for small organizations, branches, or businesses with under 200 users.

Advanced security features:
PA-440 provides visibility and control over applications on the network and integrates a powerful intrusion prevention system to detect and block cyberattacks. PA-440 also provides comprehensive security management for the network system and can decrypt and inspect SSL/TLS traffic to detect hidden threats. PA-440 allows for user-based security policy management. Moreover, Palo Alto Networks PA-440 integrates WildFire service to identify and counter emerging threats. PA-440 also supports high availability (HA) mode—active or passive. This ensures continuous operation even in the event of hardware failure. In addition, PA-440 simplifies mass firewall deployment. It allows zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), enabling easy and remote configuration without physical interaction, saving time and reducing configuration errors.

The Palo Alto Networks PA-440 security appliance provides application visibility, control, and classification, helping organizations identify, manage, and enforce security policies for applications on the network. In addition, the PA-440 firewall can detect and block network threats such as malware, denial-of-service (DoS), distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), and network intrusions.

Palo Alto PA-440 is designed to deliver high performance and handle large volumes of network traffic effectively, including: traffic processing, a large number of concurrent connections, security processing, hardware acceleration, and maintaining high performance. On the other hand, this device offers the capability to create and manage VPN connections, allowing remote users to securely and safely access internal networks.
