Palo Alto Networks Advanced Threat Prevention builds on the industry-leading Threat Prevention security service to protect your network by providing multiple layers of prevention and confronting both known and unknown threats at each phase of an attack. In addition to industry-leading IPS capabilities, Advanced Threat Prevention has the unique ability to leverage deep learning and machine learning models to block evasive and unknown command and control (C2) channels - completely inline - the last chance to stop an in-flight attack before a communication can be established. Providing the widest visibility, Advanced Threat Prevention detects and blocks threats on any and all ports instead of invoking signatures based on a limited set of predefined ports.
Advanced Threat Prevention benefits from Palo Alto Networks' other cloud-delivered security subscriptions for daily updates that stop exploits, malware, malicious URLs, C2, spyware, etc. A necessity for every Palo Alto Networks NGFW, Advanced 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, Advanced URL Filtering for web-borne attacks, DNS Security for attacks using the Domain Name Service, and IoT Security for unmanaged device visibility and context.
