PAN-DB allows you to set it to auto-update on a schedule. It categorizes newly created sites and recognized sites. If a site becomes infected, it can be moved to another category. This helps block harmful sites and effectively manage new sites. Regular auto-updates are essential for maintaining its effectiveness. With PAN-DB, it's more about user identification for filtering based on user categories. In K-12 environments where Chromebooks are prevalent, obtaining user IDs from Chromebooks for firewall purposes is challenging. Therefore, setting URL filters based on student names or groups they belong to can be difficult when using Chromebooks In most cases, organizations maintain their Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering with PAN-DB themselves. Schools are responsible for managing them. Our role is more like a support tier. If they encounter issues, we assist them and collaborate with our Palo Alto representatives to create and escalate tickets for resolution with the Palo Alto Networks team. Typically, it requires just one person to maintain the solution. You can go to the Palo Alto Networks URL Filtering site and request a site to be recategorized. I have not seen a whole lot of false positives. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The web is going towards everything HTTPS which means you can't see inside it anymore. PAN does the SSL decryption about as painlessly as it can be done. There's still a lot of unique use cases with the chain of trust and there's a balancing act as to what should be blocked. Our executive clients want to know what's going on but since everything's encrypted, you have to figure out how it works and how aggressive you want to get about it. I rate this solution a nine (9) out of ten (10).

We're Palo Alto partners. There isn't an exact version number associated with the product. It's a SaaS. I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies. I'd rate the product at a ten out of ten.

An IDS can mitigate existing malware, such as backdoors, rootkits, and trojans.The goal of an intrusion detection system is to detect an attack as it occurs. The system starts by analyzing inbound and outbound network traffic for signs of known attackers.
