Traditional intrusion prevention has failed to evolve

Organisations face a number of attacks from threat actors driven by various motives, including profit, ideology/ hacktivism, or even organisational discontent. Today’s attackers are well-funded and well-equipped. They use evasive tactics to gain footholds in target networks and launch advanced attacks at high volume. Their methods are highly targeted, leveraging sophisticated playbooks to breach an organisation, move laterally, and extract valuable data, all while remaining invisible to traditional independent defences.

To make matters worse, traditional intrusion prevention or detection systems (IPS/IDS) still use the same defensive strategies they did before the threat landscape evolved. Traffic is only inspected on certain ports, and while adding single-function devices to the defensive stack may alleviate certain problems, it results in poor performance and a lack of overall visibility. Furthermore, the basics are often left uncovered, putting the onus on security teams who are not properly resourced to identify or patch vulnerabilities to confidently avoid data breaches.

Comprehensive exploit, malware, and command and control protection for your network

Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention service protects your network by providing multiple layers of prevention, confronting threats at each phase of an attack. In addition to traditional IPS capabilities, Threat Prevention has the unique ability to detect and block threats on any and all ports instead of invoking signatures based on a limited set of predefined ports.

Their worldwide community of customers shares collective global threat intelligence, significantly reducing the success rate of advanced attacks by stopping them shortly after they are first encountered. Threat Prevention benefits from our other cloud-delivered security subscriptions for daily updates that stop exploits, malware, malicious URLs, command and control (C2), spyware, etc. A necessity for every Palo Alto Networks NGFW, Threat Prevention can speed prevention of new unknown threats to near-real-time when paired with other Palo Alto Networks subscriptions, including WildFire® malware prevention service for unknown file-based threats, URL Filtering for web-borne attacks, DNS Security for attacks using the Domain Name Service, and IoT Security for unmanaged device visibility and context.
