We are pleased to announce several new capabilities ranging from new features, plugins and qualifications for software firewalls (VM-Series and CN-Series) delivered in the last month. We also released the VM-Series Plugin 2.0.6 and Pan OS 10.0.5 MR release to improve the quality of software firewalls by addressing several known issues. Read on for news about AWS overlay routing, expanded CN-Series environment support, VM-Series on IBM Cloud qualification details, and the latest Panorama plugin details for NSX and Azure. Plus, find details about an in-depth hybrid cloud research report from analysis firm ESG.
Now you can allow packets in your AWS environment to enter the VM-Series firewall through one interface – and exit through another. Overlay routing flexibility with VM-Series and AWS Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) integration lets you use a two-zone policy to inspect traffic arriving and leaving through different interfaces. Find each step of the straightforward process here.
The industry’s first container NGFW keeps expanding its capabilities that are vital for securing containers. And that’s critical in light of news that Kubernetes is deprecating Docker as a container runtime after v1.20. The CN-Series Kubernetes 1.19 version qualification covers managed K8s services such as AKS (which defaults to containerD), EKS, GKE, Openshift, and self-managed K8s clusters. Plus, new topology enhancements can be found in the Openshift 4.6 qualification for existing automation and support of full end-to-end deployments.

We continue to help our customers in a range of environments. That’s why we’re happy to announce two new Panorama plugins specific to VMware NSX and Microsoft Azure. The NSX Plugin - 3.2.1 MR provides critical customer bug fixes and feature enhancements, such as workarounds for a number of HA failover situations. The Azure Plugin 3.0.1 MR resolves issues such as regional deployment errors, load-balancing concerns, and deployment challenges.

Authored by analyst firm ESG, this in-depth asset provides a look at top concerns and why a range of security teams anticipate both direct and indirect cost savings with virtual and containerized firewalls.
Did you miss the March update? If you did, you’ll want to take a look because we announced several developments designed to ease security deployment while expanding the ways you can safeguard your organization. In the last month’s update, we announced the availability of the Panorama Software Firewall License plugin that dramatically simplifies license management. We also released the new VM-Series Plugin 2.0.5 that introduces expanded VM-Series hypervisor support, along with new capabilities across GCP environments, and more.
