Advanced Threat Intelligence and Detection
Secure and enhance network functions with Nutanix and Palo Alto Networks. Nutanix allows customers to secure, protect, and enhance virtual networks by delivering and leveraging policies using deep inspection and controls from Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Firewalls.
Capabilities and Use Cases
Application Visibility and Discovery
Security policy starts with a complete understanding of workload behavior. With a detailed visualization of network communication, creating secure policies for the environment is simple, straightforward, and well-documented.
Network Microsegmentation
Policy is the new network security perimeter. Microsegmentation is the key to the application of “Zero Trust” at the network level. Fine-grained network policy limits applications and users to ONLY their needed resources - preventing the spread of malware or ransomware
Compliance
Establishing and maintaining a security posture across the enterprise requires specific network controls and continuous security auditing, real-time reporting, and easy vulnerability remediation
Virtual Desktops (VDI)
Enhance VDI security with an identity-based policy that ensures users gain access only to their data and applications
Test and Development
Isolate dev environments via network and security policy settings; dev systems are often not highly secure and can be an easy entry point into your enterprise
Solution Architecture
