Cortex XDR

86 reviews

Traditional antivirus (AV) is not the solution to endpoint security – it’s the problem. AV can no longer stop today’s threats. Cortex XDR advanced endpoint protection is the only product offering that replaces AV with “multi-method prevention”: a proprietary combination of malware and exploit prevention methods that pre-emptively block both known and unknown threats

User-Friendly Interface with Advanced Features

I find Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW easy to use thanks to its user-friendly interface and intuitive GUI. It is very beginner-friendly, making navigation straightforward. I particularly value the user identification feature, which integrates with directory services like Active Directory. It allows us to apply policies based on users rather than IP addresses, which I find practical. Additionally, the cloud-based setup is easier than other options, like Cisco, due to its graphical interface.

Enterprise Security Without the Overhead, but Mind the Scale and Hidden Costs

Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW brings enterprise-grade Layer 7 inspection directly into public cloud environments (such as AWS and Azure) as a fully managed, cloud-native service. Zero Infrastructure Overhead: Unlike traditional VM-Series virtual appliances that require manual provisioning, HA pairing, routing tables, and lifecycle patching, Cloud NGFW operates as a managed service. Palo Alto Networks handles availability, autoscaling, and underlying OS maintenance. True Layer 7 Inspection via App-ID: Standard cloud-native firewalls primarily filter on basic L3/L4 tuples (IP addresses, ports, and protocols). Cloud NGFW applies Palo Alto's App-ID engine to identify applications regardless of port, evasion technique, or encryption. Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS): It integrates the full threat prevention stack directly into traffic inspection pipelines—including Advanced Threat Prevention (IPS), Advanced URL Filtering, DNS Security, and WildFire for zero-day malware analysis. Native Cloud Integration: It connects seamlessly with cloud routing constructs (such as AWS Gateway Load Balancer and Azure Virtual WAN), allowing centralized routing and automated deployment via cloud orchestration templates (Terraform, CloudFormation). Unified Policy Management: Policies can be orchestrated either through native cloud consoles (like AWS Firewall Manager) or centralized via Panorama / Strata Cloud Manager, ensuring consistent rule enforcement across on-prem data centers and multi-cloud VPCs/VNets.
