Antivirus:
Detects and blocks known malware.
Anti-Spyware:
Identifies and prevents spyware communications.
Vulnerability Protection:
Shields against known software vulnerabilities.
File Blocking:
Controls the transfer of specific file types.
Data Filtering:
Prevents unauthorized data transfers.
URL Filtering:
Controls access to web content based on categories.
4. WildFire
Offers advanced threat detection by analyzing suspicious files in a cloud-based sandbox environment to identify unknown malware and zero-day exploits.
5. Threat Prevention
Combines multiple security technologies to detect and block threats, including intrusion prevention and anti-malware capabilities.
6. DNS Security
Protects against DNS-based threats by preventing access to malicious domains and blocking command-and-control communications.
7. GlobalProtect
Extends firewall protection to remote users by establishing secure VPN connections, ensuring consistent security policies across all users.
8. Panorama
