We’re proud to announce the availability of AIOps for NGFW 2.0 to help customers improve the efficiency, health, performance and maximize their security posture. This release includes new features, such as increased ability to visualize and report the interplay between users, applications and threats across their entire deployment.

 

Here are some key features part of the AIOps for NGFW 2.0 release:

 

1. With AIOps for NGFW 2.0 Free, customers can continually assess how well their NGFW configs adhere to Palo Alto Networks best practice recommendations with Proactive Best Practice Assessments. BPA contains 200 best practice checks that also align with CIS’s Critical Security Controls (CSC). With AIOps for NGFW - Premium, customers can get the assessment on the candidate config before committing a change on Panorama, so the config is always in line with best practice recommendations.

2. Maximize your security outcomes with the Adoption of Security Capabilities and Subscriptions: This feature in AIOps for NGFW - Free maximizes the ROI on your security investment by tracking the adoption lifecycle of the configured NGFW features and PAN-OS security services.

3. Avoid a business disruption due to Certificate Expiry: Several features on your firewall use certificates to authenticate the network session. Failure to detect an upcoming certificate that needs renewal puts that feature at risk, potentially causing a business interruption. AIOps for NGFW - Premium will proactively alert you to the upcoming renewal and determine what feature is at risk, helping prioritize the renewals.

They display process milestones to validate the operations and detection reasons for classifying a file.
