Palo Alto Networks PA-5400 & PA-5450 Series Next-Generation Firewalls
High-Performance Security for Campus, Edge, and Data Center Environments
The Palo Alto PA-5400 Series and the modular PA-5450 Series are advanced next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) designed to protect mission-critical environments such as large enterprise campuses, internet gateways, and modern data centers. These firewalls combine inline machine learning, modular scalability, and deep traffic inspection to secure high-speed networks against advanced cyber threats.
Scalable Enterprise Security with Cortex Intelligence
The PA-5400 Series and PA-5450 deliver ultra-high throughput, AI-powered threat prevention, and full visibility for large data centers, high-traffic campuses, and service providers. Built for performance and resilience, they integrate with Cortex XDR, XSOAR, and Cortex Data Lake to enable centralized threat detection, automated response, and unified security across networks, endpoints, and cloud infrastructure.
Key Features
ML-Powered Threat Detection
Both series leverage real-time machine learning (ML) and cloud-delivered threat intelligence to block zero-day attacks, malware, phishing, and command-and-control (C2) activity—before it can compromise the network.
Extreme Throughput Performance
The PA-5400 Series (PA-5430, PA-5420, PA-5410) supports up to 90 Gbps threat prevention, making it suitable for data centers and high-volume edge deployments. The PA-5450 offers up to 1.2 Tbps of firewall throughput, ideal for the largest and most demanding networks.
Encrypted Traffic Visibility
Advanced TLS/SSL decryption, including TLS 1.3, provides complete visibility into encrypted traffic—revealing hidden threats while maintaining high performance.
Modular and Scalable Design
The PA-5450 features a modular chassis with swappable cards, enabling easy scalability and flexibility in large deployments. In contrast, the PA-5400 models offer powerful security in compact, fixed-form factors.
Centralized Control with Panorama™
Streamline security operations across multiple firewalls using Panorama™, Palo Alto’s centralized management solution for policies, logs, and threat analytics.
Built for Zero Trust
With App-ID™, User-ID™, and Zero Trust capabilities, these firewalls enforce granular, identity-based security policies across users, devices, and cloud workloads.
