Palo Alto Networks Panorama Central Management Software: Global Visibility Made Easy

Panorama Central Management software provides global visibility and control over multiple Palo Alto Networks Next-Generational Firewalls through an easy-to-use web interface. Administrators can view aggregate or device-specific application, user, and content data so they can effectively manage multiple Palo Alto Networks firewalls, from a central location. You have the flexibility to deploy Panorama as either hardware or as a virtual appliance.

Panorama central management software reduces administrative efforts and costs. It’s no longer a cumbersome process in which you have to navigate management complexities and inconsistencies between individual devices and centralized management interfaces. Instead, you can see the applications, users, and content across your firewalls. You can also analyze, run reports, and gain insights into forensics with data aggregated over time or data stored on the local firewall. By knowing what’s on your networks, in addition to the right application security policies, you can protect and control your networks with less effort.

Panorama’s interface is familiar and intuitive for teams, lowering their learning curves and speeding up adoption.

Panorama: Centralized Policy and Device Management

Here’s how your organization can benefit from Panorama centralized management:

• Create device groups based on logical hierarchies to maximize management flexibility.
• Use template stacks for simple device and network configuration.
• Import existing device configurations easily into Panorama.
• Control your internet, data center edge, and private and public cloud deployments from one console.
• Easily view your logs from multiple managed firewalls through Panorama’s log collector.
• The Application Command Center (ACC) provides an easy-to-understand visual summary of application, web, threat, and data transfer activity.
• You can quickly learn more about network activity in the ACC by adding or removing filters in a few clicks.
• Custom reporting means that you get the information that matters most to your organization.

Streamline the central management of device groups based on function and location without redundant configuration. Stacking templates simplifies network and device groups’ configuration for intuitive management and heightened threat prevention. Safely enable applications by setting file, data, or URL filtering policies.
