SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), a 10-time leader in network firewalls, today announced Nebula, the latest upgrade of its industry-leading PAN-OS software, to help find the evasive, zero-day attacks that can cripple organizations — and stop them in their tracks.

PAN-OS® 10.2 Nebula collects, analyzes and interprets potential zero-day threats in real time using inline deep learning — a network security first. This results in six times faster prevention and 48% more evasive threats detected, surpassing anything previously available. Nebula also introduces AIOps — Palo Alto Networks tenth security service — and the new Advanced Threat Prevention service while enhancing Advanced URL Filtering, DNS Security, IoT Security and other related security services.

“In the past, nation-state-led cyberattacks were considered the rarest and most advanced. But today, attackers of all kinds have an advanced arsenal at their fingertips; every organization must now assume they will be the target of a nation-state-level attack,” said Lee Klarich, chief product officer, Palo Alto Networks. “Modern network security requires a fundamentally new approach. Today, Palo Alto Networks has brought that new approach to our ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewalls by harnessing the processing power of the cloud to enable deep learning inline. We believe that is how all network security will be done in the future.”

Security services that are being added and enhanced include:

  • Advanced Threat Prevention: A new best-in-class intrusion prevention system (IPS), which brings security analysis from “offline” to “inline” using cloud compute for AI and deep learning techniques — without sacrificing performance. Advanced Threat Prevention can detect many unknown and targeted command and control (C2) attacks as well as evasive attacks from tools such as Cobalt Strike.
  • AIOps: The new AIOps uses machine learning to predict up to 51% of disruptions to NGFWs before they impact the firewalls.* In addition, with telemetry from over 6,000 deployments, AIOps continuously recommends best practices to improve overall security posture.
  • DNS Security: Now extends protection…
