Palo Alto Networks - next-generation network and cloud security

Palo Alto Networks offers an enterprise security platform that includes next-generation firewalls (NGFW), cloud-delivered security services, SASE-based secure access and endpoint protection. Palo Alto firewalls provide visibility and control over application and content permissions by user, not just by IP address.

At the core is App-ID, which identifies applications accurately regardless of port, protocol or evasion technique, and lets the firewall inspect content to stop threats and prevent data leakage. Organizations can enable SaaS and cloud applications while staying in control, and consolidate separate security components into one platform.

  • Lower risk: blocking known and unknown threats, including new malware, through cloud analysis and continuous protection updates.
  • Control and visibility: a clear picture of who uses which application, from where and with what data.
  • Operational simplicity: one consistent policy for offices, branches, cloud and remote workers.
  • Regulatory support: logging, access control and segmentation that help meet the requirements of Israel's Privacy Protection Law Amendment 13, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS.

What you get

A Palo Alto project with ELPC ends with documented, managed security infrastructure - not just a box installed in the network cabinet:

  • Assessment and architecture design: mapping your network, applications and users, and choosing the right model, licensing and services.
  • Deployment and migration: building PA-Series, VM-Series or Cloud NGFW firewalls, including migration from other vendors and conversion of existing rules.
  • Application- and identity-based policy: rules built on App-ID and User-ID, integration with Active Directory or your identity provider, and network segmentation.
  • Hardening: enabling and tuning security profiles, SSL decryption where needed, and alignment with the vendor's best-practice recommendations.
  • Remote access and SASE: GlobalProtect or Prisma Access for remote workers, and Prisma SD-WAN for branches.
  • Documentation and handover: a configuration document, rule map and training for your IT team.

After deployment, ELPC provides an ongoing managed service: monitoring, PAN-OS updates, incident handling, periodic policy reviews and cleanup of unused rules.

Palo Alto network expert services

Palo Alto products deliver advanced network security, but getting full value from them takes professional management. In many organizations the IT team is busy with day-to-day work, lacks dedicated training or isn't available to handle security events after hours. ELPC's expert services are designed to close that gap:

  • Professional support for Palo Alto firewalls and cloud services, including complex troubleshooting and vendor case management.
  • Network security consulting: segmentation, remote access, Zero Trust and planning for growth.
  • Projects as needed: version upgrades, hardware refresh, expansion to the cloud or new branches.
  • Expert hours (PS) for in-house IT teams that need professional backup.

Why deploy Palo Alto with ELPC

  • End-to-end design: ELPC plans the network, identities and firewall together, as part of one outsourced IT and security department.
  • Hardening, not just installation: policy built around your organization's risks and resources, and reviewed again over time.
  • Ongoing management: monitoring, updates, periodic reviews and incident handling as part of the managed service.
  • Hebrew-speaking support: an Israeli team that knows the local business and regulatory environment.
  • Regulatory alignment: configuration and documentation that support the requirements of Amendment 13, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS, and help with audit readiness.
  • Integration: connecting Palo Alto to your existing identity, EDR and SIEM systems.

FAQ
What is the difference between a Palo Alto firewall and a traditional firewall?

A traditional firewall filters traffic mainly by IP address and port. A Palo Alto next-generation firewall identifies the application itself (App-ID), the user (User-ID) and the content, so policy can be built around who accesses which application - along with inspection for threats and data leakage prevention.

What is the difference between PA-Series, VM-Series and Cloud NGFW?

PA-Series are physical firewalls for offices, branches and data centers. VM-Series are virtual firewalls that run on virtualization platforms and in public cloud. Cloud NGFW is a managed service in public clouds such as AWS and Azure. All are based on PAN-OS and can be managed from a central management system.

What is Prisma Access and when do you need it?

Prisma Access is Palo Alto's cloud-delivered SASE service, giving remote workers and branches secure access to the internet, SaaS applications and corporate resources under the same security policy. It suits organizations with hybrid work or many branches that want to reduce reliance on on-site hardware.

Can we migrate to Palo Alto from another firewall vendor?

Yes. ELPC migrates from other vendors' firewalls, including mapping and converting existing rules, removing redundant rules and a controlled cutover that minimizes downtime. It is also an opportunity to rebuild policy around applications and identities.

How does Palo Alto help with Israel's Privacy Protection Law Amendment 13?

The firewall supports controls such as per-user access control, segmentation of networks holding sensitive data, logging, and detection of exfiltration attempts. With correct configuration and documentation, it helps meet the requirements of Amendment 13, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS - though compliance also depends on the organization's own processes and procedures.

What does ELPC's managed service for Palo Alto firewalls include?

Ongoing monitoring, PAN-OS and security service updates, configuration backup, incident and fault handling, vendor case management, and periodic policy reviews to find overly permissive or unused rules. The scope is tailored to the organization's size and needs.
