Palo Alto Networks Accelerates Security in PAN-OS 9.0 Update>
eWeek – Sean Michael Kerner
Palo Alto Networks is boosting its network security platforms with the new PAN-OS 9.0 update that was announced on Feb. 12. PAN-OS 9.0 includes over 60 new features and tools that can be deployed on Palo Alto Networks security platforms. Among the features is a new DNS security service, which help to protect organizations against different types of risks in DNS traffic. DNS (Domain Name System) connects IP address to common domain names, facilitating traffic delivery across the internet. Another new feature that has landed in the PAN-OS 9 update is called Policy Optimizer, which looks to help organizations become more efficient with the various network security policies that have been deployed. Singh explained that network administrators can use Policy Optimizer’s workflows and the intelligence gathered by PAN-OS to move from legacy port-based rules to application-based rules. Palo Alto Networks is also improving its VM-Series of network security appliances for faster cloud security capabilities. Palo Alto Networks is also providing accelerated performance with new PA-7000 Series network processing cards.
