Palo URL Filtering for PA-5060 - subscription license (3 years) - 1 device

Stand-alone URL filtering solutions are insufficient control mechanisms because they are easily bypassed with external proxies (PHproxy, CGIproxy), circumventors (Tor, UltraSurf, Hamachi) and remote desktop access tools (GoToMyPC, RDP, SSH). Controlling users' application activity requires a multi-faceted approach that implements policies to control web activity and the applications that are commonly used to bypass traditional security mechanisms. Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewalls identify and control applications, irrespective of port, protocol, encryption (SSL or SSH) or evasive characteristic.

Once identified, the application identity, not the port or protocol, becomes the basis of all security policies, resulting in the restoration of application control. Acting as the perfect complement to policy-based application control is a URL filtering database that securely enables web usage. By addressing the lack of visibility and control from both the application and website perspective, organization
