Palo Alto Networks K2-Series Primary Use Case
We are a system integrator and the Palo Alto K2-Series is one of the network solutions that we implement for our clients.
Many of the implementations that I am part of are for the banking sector in Egypt and generally, they are not interested in cloud-based solutions. The K2-Series is well-suited for this use case.

I use Palo Alto as an Intrusion Prevention System, and as a normal firewall to block and allow IPs and ports. I use it for file analysis and sandboxing as well.

The solution was a firewall that bridged the internal systems with their DMC equipment and/or restricted systems access that wasn't generally available to anyone outside of the organization.

We have eight VFDs. We have the bigger firewalls. I forget the model number but they're the bigger ones. We have smaller ones—the 220s— so we have a pretty good range of Palo Alto firewalls that we use in our company.

View full review »The primary use for this solution depends on the preference of a customer and to some extent their existing environment.
We have to establish things like:
- what are the business requirements
- how we can utilize what is existing or if the client needs to upgrade equipment
- what kind of servers do we put in
- what kind of servers does he have on cloud
- what kind of servers do we have on-premises
So it all depends on the customer's requirements. If a query comes up with a client, I am happy to answer that and provide a resolution but the situation needs to consider specific needs.
