hi bdeschut I have already found the same descriptions that you have in the PANOS docs, but how are palo alto devices then meant to protect against virus and malware\spyware, coming into the network from peoples personal webmails and other personal apps using pop3 or IMAP ? are there no solution to use palo alto devices to stop virus that comes with trafic using these protocols ? Is it simply a matter of totally blocking everything that has to do with pop3 and IMAP, from entering the network ? there must be a way to filter and protect users even if they are using these protocols, or m I wrong ? ...

yes but the actual problem here is that decyption does not work for all parts of for example dropbox, linkedIN and others. so if you want your users to have access to these applications, then decypt is not an option (as far as I know) and thus controlling the application is not that straigth forward as it could have been, if decyption had worked. ...

yes this seems very strange to as well, linux are an important part of many back bone and end users OS systems (i have been told that PA is built on centos linux distr for example) and there are estimates ranging between 25 and 50 mil linux users worldwide.

To me it just does not make sense. I have seen in several discussions here that these clients have been placed on the roadmap for PA development, but not for long yet it seems.. Is palo alto really satisfied with leaving this many users without a good and supported native solution ??? ... View more
