PA-3220 Architecture
The PA-3220 is powered by a scalable architecture for the purpose of applying the appropriate type and volume of processing power to the key functional tasks of networking, security, and management. The PA-3220 chassis intelligently distributes processing demands across three subsystems, each with massive amounts of computing power and dedicated memory.
ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall
• Embeds machine learning (ML) in the core of the firewall to provide inline signatureless attack
prevention for file-based attacks while identifying and immediately stopping never-before-seen
phishing attempts.
• Leverages cloud-based ML processes to push zero-delay signatures and instructions back to the NGFW.
• Uses behavioral analysis to detect IoT devices and make policy recommendations; cloud-delivered
and natively integrated service on the NGFW.
• Automates policy recommendations that save time and reduce the chance of human error.
Identifies and Categorizes All Applications, on All Ports, All the Time, with
Full Layer 7 Inspection
• Identifies the applications traversing your network irrespective of port, protocol, evasive techniques,
or encryption (TLS/SSL). In addition, it automatically discovers and controls new applications to
keep pace with the SaaS explosion with SaaS Security subscription.
• Uses the application, not the port, as the basis for all your safe enablement policy decisions: allow,
deny, schedule, inspect, and apply traffic-shaping.
• Offers the ability to create custom App-ID™ tags for proprietary applications or request App-ID
development for new applications from Palo Alto Networks.
• Identifies all payload data within the application (e.g., files and data patterns) to block malicious
files and thwart data exfiltration attempts.
