User-ID

Securely enable applications on your network based on users and groups—not just IP addresses.

Content-ID

Real-time content scanning blocks threats, controls web surfing and limits data and file transfers.

Palo Alto Networks' Next-Generation Firewalls

Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewalls enable enterprises to identify and control applications, users, and content—not just ports, IP addresses, and packets—using three unique identification technologies: App-ID, User-ID, and Content-ID. These identification technologies allow enterprises to securely enable application usage using business-relevant concepts, instead of following the traditional "all-or-nothing" approach offered by traditional port-blocking firewalls used in many security infrastructures. Check out the new features in the latest version of PAN-OS. Application visibility, application control and threat prevention is handled by three unique identification technologies, App-ID, User-ID, and Content-ID, to allow organizations to deploy Palo Alto Networks’ next-generation firewalls and enable the secure use of new applications while managing the inherent risks. These fine-grained policy management and enforcement capabilities are delivered at low latency, multi-gigabit performance with the company’s innovative Single Pass Parallel Processing (SP3) Architecture.
