Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention Primary Use Case

RG
Senior Network Security Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Our company uses the solution for IDS and IPS functionality in the signature phase that includes vulnerability and antivirus plus file blocking in the DLP to some extent. 

The signature feed is sent to the firewall based on a schedule we configure. Intervals can go up to every five minutes where the firewall goes to the cloud to get the latest signature feeds. At the same time, there are mission learning capabilities on the firewall that categorize certain non-threats on ports and protocols as malicious traffic before creating the signature. 

We have 30 to 50 resources that use the solution throughout our company.

IT Specialist at Icall LTD

We use it to upload, delete, and list what to publish on the net to block websites and even posts.

Recently, I blocked Adobe Acrobat Reader. When you install it on your PC, sometimes it contacts the internet and opens some posts. Thus, it can be easily hacked by a user on the internet. When you browse for this kind of list, you can easily upload it on Palo Alto without any difficulty.
