Top Features

ML-powered threat prevention

Block unknown and zero-day attacks inline with machine learning built directly into the firewall, neutralizing file-based threats, phishing attempts, and evasive exploits in real time.

Complete application visibility

Identify every application, user, device, and IoT endpoint on your network with full Layer 7 inspection, so policy decisions are based on activity rather than just ports and IPs.

Maximum-throughput fanless design

A compact fanless form factor with optional redundant power supply gives PA-460 the peak throughput of the PA-400 Series, ideal for demanding branches and enterprise edges.

Beyond licensing, a seamless, fully supported PA-460 NGFW experience with Discreet Vision.

Built for how modern teams secure demanding branch and enterprise workloads.

Everything your business needs to secure the most demanding branch or enterprise edge, delivered in one ML-powered firewall combining machine learning threat prevention, Layer 7 visibility, IoT security, SD-WAN, and centralized Panorama management at peak PA-400 scale.

ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall

PA-460 embeds machine learning into the core of the firewall to provide inline signatureless attack prevention for file-based attacks while identifying and stopping never-before-seen phishing attempts. Cloud-based ML processes push zero-delay signatures back to the NGFW, so protection stays current without manual updates. Behavioral analysis detects IoT devices and makes policy recommendations as part of a cloud-delivered service integrated natively on the firewall itself.

Application & User Visibility

PA-460 identifies and categorizes all applications on all ports, all the time, with full Layer 7 inspection regardless of port, protocol, evasive technique, or TLS/SSL encryption. Automatically discover and control new applications to keep pace with the SaaS explosion through SaaS Security subscriptions, and use the application rather than the port as the basis for safe enablement decisions: allow, deny, schedule, inspect, and apply traffic-shaping across every session on the network.

User-Based Security Policies

Enforce security for users at any location and on any device while adapting policy based on user activity. Define Dynamic User Groups on the firewall to take time-bound security actions without waiting for changes in user directories, enabling visibility, policies, reporting, and forensics based on users and groups, not just IP addresses. PA-460 integrates with a wide range of repositories to leverage user information including LAN controllers, VPNs, directory servers, SIEMs, and proxies.

Cloud-Delivered Security Services

Detect and prevent advanced threats with cloud-delivered security services including Advanced Threat Prevention, WildFire malware prevention, Advanced URL Filtering, SaaS Security, and IoT Security. Today’s cyberattacks can spawn 45,000 variants in 30 minutes using multiple threat vectors to deliver payloads. PA-460 consolidates these protections into a single inline service stack, inspecting TLS/SSL-encrypted traffic including TLS 1.3 and HTTP/2 for hidden threats across every session.

Centralized Management & SD-WAN

Benefit from centralized management, configuration, and visibility for distributed Palo Alto NGFWs through Panorama network security management in one unified interface. AIOps for NGFW delivers continuous best-practice recommendations tailored to your deployment to strengthen posture. PA-460 also enables natively integrated SD-WAN capabilities on your existing firewall, delivering an exceptional end-user experience by minimizing latency, jitter, and packet loss across branches and sites.
