Data, workloads and applications now live in environments where it’s difficult or impossible to deploy physical firewalls

So how do you protect digital assets – regardless of where they’re located? You deploy VM-Series virtual firewalls, with all the capabilities of Palo Alto Networks market-leading, next-generation firewalls – but in a virtual machine form factor.

Now you can manage perimeter threats as well as threats that can move laterally within and across environments – anywhere.

To protect your virtualized applications, workloads, and data, your organization needs cloud security that:

Uses the application identity to enable segmentation and allow listing.
Controls resource access based on need and user identity.
Prevents malware from gaining access and moving laterally from workload to workload.
Simplifies management and can be fully automated to minimize friction as well as security policy lag as virtual workloads change.

Product models

Organisations are quickly adopting multi-cloud architectures as a means of distributing risk and taking advantage of the core competencies of different cloud vendors. To ensure your applications and data are protected across public clouds, virtualised data centres, and NFV deployments, the VMSeries has been designed to deliver up to 16 Gbps of App-IDenabled firewall performance across five models.

Palo Alto VM-series

VM-50/VM-50 Lite

Engineered to consume minimal resources and support CPU oversubscription yet deliver up to 200 Mbps of App-ID-enabled firewall performance for customer scenarios from virtual branch office/customer-premises equipment to high-density, multi-tenant environments.

Palo Alto VM-series

VM-100 & VM-300

Optimized to deliver 2 Gbps and 4 Gbps of App-ID-enabled performance, respectively, for hybrid cloud, segmentation, and internet gateway use cases.

Palo Alto VM-series

VM-500 & VM-700

Able to deliver an industry-leading 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps of App-ID-enabled firewall performance, respectively, and can be deployed as NFV security components in fully virtualized data centre and service provider environments.

Benefits

Detect hard-to-find threats: Go beyond simple port blocking with integrated security services. Inspect every inbound/outbound packet for known/unknown threats.
Stop outbound traffic exfiltration: Integrated DLP blocks attackers from accessing and removing sensitive data. Leverage traffic decryption for outbound inspection.
Protect against lateral movement: Go Zero Trust: Keep threats from roaming inside environments. Integrated IPS provides enhanced segmentation and micro-segmentation.
