Palo Alto Networks PA-7000 & PA-7500 Series Next-Generation Firewalls
AI-Powered, Scalable Security for Large Enterprises and Data Centers
The Palo Alto PA-7000 and PA-7500 Series next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) are engineered for large-scale enterprise networks, cloud service providers, and carrier-grade data centers. These ultra-high-performance platforms deliver unmatched security throughput, intelligent traffic inspection, and modular scalability—making them ideal for securing massive volumes of encrypted and application traffic in real time.
Ultra-Scale Security with Cortex-Powered Intelligence
The PA-7000 Series and PA-7500 deliver industry-leading performance, AI-driven threat prevention, and deep visibility for the most demanding enterprise and service provider environments. With support for massive throughput, advanced traffic inspection, and TLS 1.3 decryption, these firewalls integrate seamlessly with Cortex XDR, XSOAR, and Cortex Data Lake to enable centralized detection, automated response, and end-to-end protection across hybrid networks, endpoints, and cloud workloads.
Key Features
High Throughput with Low Latency
The PA-7500 Series offers up to 1.5 Tbps of firewall throughput and 1.44 Tbps of threat prevention, while the PA-7000 Series delivers up to 720 Gbps, ensuring seamless performance even under intense workloads. Ideal for high-density environments, these firewalls handle millions of sessions without delay.
AI/ML-Driven Threat Prevention
Both series feature inline machine learning and AI-based threat detection to stop advanced threats—including zero-day malware, phishing, and command-and-control attacks—without depending solely on traditional signatures.
Deep SSL/TLS Traffic Inspection
Achieve complete visibility into encrypted traffic, including TLS 1.3, with minimal latency. This ensures threats hidden in encrypted sessions are identified and blocked before causing damage.
Modular, Carrier-Class Architecture
Built with hot-swappable networking, data processing, and management cards, these firewalls provide high availability, service continuity, and flexible scalability—all essential for mission-critical infrastructure.
Integrated Cloud-Delivered Security
Support for WildFire® sandboxing, DNS Security, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), IoT Security, and Advanced Threat Prevention services delivers a layered defense posture against known and unknown threats.
Zero Trust & Application-Level Control
With App-ID™ and User-ID™, enforce identity-based policies and maintain full Layer 7 visibility—critical for Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) models.
