Applications and threats
Panorama can push application and threat signature updates to managed firewalls, ensuring consistent application and threat visibility.
Panorama uses dynamic updates to distribute the latest application and threat signature packs to all managed firewalls.
WildFire
Panorama also distributes WildFire signature updates to firewalls for real-time malware detection.
WildFire updates provide the latest malware signatures to enhance detection and prevention, and can be deployed to all managed firewalls via Panorama.

Real-time logging and visualization: SCM provides centralized visibility with real-time insights into network activities, threats, user behavior, and logs through interactive dashboards and reporting.
AIOps-driven security best practice recommendations: SCM leverages AI-powered analysis to provide best practice recommendations, proactive threat detection, policy anomaly resolution, and operational health insights to improve security posture.

In Palo Alto Networks' Single-Pass Parallel Processing (SP3) architecture, SSL/TLS decryption occurs only during the slow path when the firewall first encounters a new session.
SSL/TLS decryption, which requires CPU-intensive cryptographic operations, is performed during the slow path when establishing new sessions. Once decrypted, traffic is processed in the fast path for subsequent packets.
After the initial decryption in the slow path, decrypted traffic is handled by fast path for efficiency.

Panorama allows engineers to create custom reports and generate PDF summary formats for consistent reporting across NGFWs.
Custom Reports
Custom Reports provide tailored reporting based on URL categories, application usage, and threat visibility. They are generated within Panorama and can include data on newly categorized AI URL types.
PDF Summaries
You can generate PDF summary reports to distribute these insights across branch firewalls, providing an easy-to-read format for compliance and operational review.
Together, these options provide a consistent, standardized method to push insights about AI- based URL categories to branch devices.

In Prisma Access, the interzone security policy rule is available and plays a crucial role in controlling traffic between zones.
You can configure an interzone rule to control traffic that flows between different zones in Prisma Access, enabling granular security policy enforcement.
This ensures comprehensive control of traffic crossing security boundaries in the cloud-delivered architecture.
