Palo Alto firewall - PAN-OS 10.0 (first ML-Powered NGFW)


Palo Alto Networks announced the world's first ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall in June 2020. It includes 70+ innovative new capabilities, including easier decryption, high availability clustering, a new high-performance hardware card, Threat Prevention, and DNS Security enhancements. The ML-Powered NGFW plus more than 70 new features are all there in the new PAN-OS 10.0

After that, PAN-OS 10.0 officially released on July 16.
I am going to gather and update here all of the new features included with PAN-OS 10.0.

Here are four key factors for ML-Powered NGFW.
  • ML must be inline
  • ML must be both embedded and cloud based
  • Near real-time ML should make instant changes (as opposed to signature updates every X minutes)
  • Massive data collection is required for ML

What is the ML-Powered NGFW?
The foundation of the ML-Powered NGFW is the current next-generation firewall. However, PAN added three key aspects:
  • Prevent – Put ML inline with zero delay update signatures. Prevent up to 95% of zero-day malware
  • Detect – Extend the ML security analytics to IoT security
  • Improve – ML-powered policy recommendations. Automate and simplify
