Advanced WildFire subscription year 1, PA-850 - PAN-PA-850-AWF

The Palo Alto Networks URL filtering solution complements App-ID by enabling you to configure the firewall to identify and control access to web (HTTP and HTTPS) traffic and to protect your network from attack.

With URL Filtering enabled, all web traffic on any port is compared against the URL filtering database, which contains a listing of millions of websites that have been categorized. You can use these URL categories as a match criteria to enforce security policy and to safely enable web access and control the traffic that traverses your network. You can also use URL filtering to enforce safe search settings for your users, and to prevent credential phishing based on URL category.

Although the Palo Alto Networks URL filtering solution supports both BrightCloud and PAN-DB, only the PAN-DB URL filtering solution allows you to choose between the PAN-DB Public Cloud and the PAN-DB Private Cloud. Use the public cloud solution if the Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls on your network can directly access the Internet. If the network security requirements in your enterprise prohibit the firewalls from directly accessing the Internet, you can deploy a PAN-DB private cloud on one or more M-600 appliances that function as PAN-DB servers within your network.
