Advanced URL Filtering

Palo Alto Networks Advanced URL Filtering is a cloud-delivered security service that goes beyond traditional web filtering to stop known, unknown, and highly evasive web-based threats in real time. Powered by inline machine learning and AI, it provides deep visibility into web traffic and blocks malicious, risky, and inappropriate content before it can impact users or data. With continuous updates from the industry’s largest threat intelligence network, it helps organizations stay protected against evolving phishing, malware, and zero-day web attacks.
