Palo Alto emphasizes the VM-Series’ support for the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Layer 7 network security model, the application layer. Key features include a single management console to handle security on public and private cloud and on-premise locations, network segmentation to reduce threat surfaces for inbound cyberattacks, automatic scaling with cloud infrastructure, sandboxing, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and intelligent traffic offload for service providers. The VM-Series are virtual firewalls - software that provides the same capabilities as Palo Alto’s physical firewall hardware. “Customers choose this next-generation mobile technology for its security and reliability, but increasingly sophisticated networks must be safeguarded against a complex and escalating ‘threatscape,’” said Palo Alto Networks. Microsoft already supports a broad swath of operators, system integrators and app developers, offering a constellation of Azure MEC-related solutions.
Microsoft pitches Azure private MEC for 4G and 5G enterprise edge applications like retail video analytics, IoT device deployment in smart buildings and hospitals, and low-latency communications for industrial automation. Palo Alto promises Azure customers faster time to market thanks to the now-tested and validated solution, along with simpler deployment at scale for rapid rollout, and mitigation against zero-day vulnerabilities using pre-defined templates. Protecting enterprise Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) installations against cyberattacks is the impetus behind Palo Alto Networks’ news on Thursday announcing the availability of its VM-Series Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) software, via Microsoft’s Azure Marketplace. The VM-Series firewall software secures private Azure-based 4G and 5G MEC
