• Spans a range of performance needs for the distributed enterprise with a broad lineup
• Offers security in a desktop form factor
• Extends visibility and security to all devices, including unmanaged IoT devices, without the need to deploy additional sensors
• Supports high availability with active/active and active/passive modes
• Delivers predictable performance with security services
• Features a silent, fanless design

Product features

• ML-powered next-generation firewall
  Embeds machine learning (ML) in the core of the firewall to provide inline signatureless attack prevention for file-based attacks while identifying and immediately stopping never-before-seen phishing attempts. Leverages cloud-based ML processes to push zero-delay signatures and instructions back to the NGFW. Uses behavioral analysis to detect IoT devices and make policy recommendations as part of a cloud-delivered and natively integrated service on the NGFW. Automates policy recommendations that save time and reduce the chance of human error.
• Identifies and categorizes all applications, on all ports, all the time, with full Layer 7 inspection
  Identifies the applications traversing your network irrespective of port, protocol, evasive techniques, or encryption (TLS/SSL). Identifies all payload data within an application (e.g., files and data patterns) to block malicious files and thwart exfiltration attempts. Creates standard and customized application usage reports, including software-as-a-service (SaaS) reports that provide insight into all sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS traffic on your network.
• Enforces security for users at any location, on any device, while adapting policy based on user activity
  Enables visibility, security policies, reporting, and forensics based on users and groups - not just IP addresses. Applies consistent policies irrespective of users' locations (office, home, travel, etc.) and devices (iOS and Android mobile devices, macOS, Windows, Linux desktops, laptops; Citrix and Microsoft VDI and Terminal Servers). Prevents corporate credentials from leaking to third-party websites and prevents reuse of stolen credentials by enabling multifactor authentication (MFA) at the network layer for any application without any application changes. Provides dynamic security actions based on user behavior to restrict suspicious or malicious users.
• Prevents malicious activity concealed in encrypted traffic
  Offers rich visibility into TLS traffic, such as amount of encrypted traffic, TLS/SSL versions, cipher suites, and more, without decrypting. Enables control over use of legacy TLS protocols, insecure ciphers, and misconfigured certificates to mitigate risks.
• Detect and prevent advanced threats with cloud-delivered security services
  Threat prevention goes beyond a traditional intrusion prevention system (IPS) to prevent all known threats across all traffic in a single pass without sacrificing performance. Advanced URL filtering provides perfect web protection while maximizing operational efficiency with the real-time web protection engine and phishing protection. WildFire ensures files are safe with automatic detection and prevention of unknown malware powered by cloud-based analysis and crowdsourced intelligence from more than 42,000 customers. Harnesses the power of ML to detect as well as prevent threats over DNS in real time and empowers security personnel with the intelligence and context to craft policies and respond to threats quickly and effectively. Provides comprehensive IoT security solution, delivering ML-powered visibility, prevention, and enforcement in a single platform. Offers cloud-delivered enterprise DLP that consistently protects sensitive data across networks, clouds, and users. Delivers integrated SaaS security that lets you see and secure SaaS applications, protect data, and prevent zero-day threats at the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).
