Looking after network security can be a challenging job, and keeping track of new threats and future hacking trends and coping with adds, moves and changes can make your day very busy. Conflicting security device management mechanisms only make the administrator’s life more complex.

Simplicity and consistency are vital development targets, the web interfaces for both Panorama and the individual platforms have a consistent look and feel, which minimises the time to learn it which is often associated with switching from single-device management to centralized management of multiple next generation firewalls. The Palo Alto Networks management tools make security policy management a simple and painless process, using visualization tools, common application names and standard security terminology.

Panorama

Panorama is a centralized management system that delivers global visibility and control over numerous Palo Alto Networks next generation firewalls via a simple web-based interface. Panorama allows administrators to observe aggregate or device-specific application, user, and content data and control multiple Palo Alto Networks firewalls, entirely from a central location.

A common web-based interface, gets rid of the need to setup a desktop client, while at the same time reducing the learning curve for both interfaces. Which globally manages multiple Palo Alto Networks next generation firewalls with Panorama or controls a single device via the on-box capabilities. The effect is that administrators can move from one management interface to another without problems arising, enabling them to instantly take advantage of the provided multi-device capabilities.

Application Command Center

Application Command Center (ACC), is a powerful visualization tool that sums up the present flow of network activity in a simple and easy to understand way. ACC is a crucial part of both Panorama and the device web-interface, it offers administrators with a visual view of application, web, URL, threat and data transfer movement shown in a simple, easy to understand way.

If the administrator needs to go get more detail about the applications, URLs, data and threats travelling through the network, they can mine ACC data by adding and removing filters so as to accomplish the required effect.

The visibility that data mining ACC delivers enables administrators to find out more about the network activity and therefore make more knowledgeable strategic decisions or take action faster when a potential threat may occur. In the event that ACC displays something that warrants instant, thorough analysis, administrators can jump to the identical logs that match the current ACC context with a click of a mouse.

App-Scope

App-Scope is a set of visualization tools that provides a comparative view of application activity (now vs a past timeframe), whereas Application Command Center (ACC) provides the administrator with a view into current network activity. A standard function of both Panorama and the device web-interface, App-Scope assists in the reduction of the amount of time an administrator requires to identify odd behaviour.
