Palo Alto Networks Software Firewalls | Native CSP Cloud Firewalls | |
|---|---|---|
Multicloud Security Fabric | True Multicloud Consistency Orchestrate multicloud networking and enforce consistent security across all clouds. | Inconsistent, Siloed Security Lack a unified management plane, creating inconsistent security across clouds. |
Advanced L7 Threat Prevention | Best-in-Class Threat Prevention Provide 99.4% security efficacy and stop advanced threats with real-time, AI-powered analysis. | Outdated, Ineffective Filtering Rely on basic filtering that is blind to advanced exploits and malware. |
East-West Traffic Security | Complete Internal Protection Prevent lateral threat movement between workloads, including virtual machines and container environments. | Minimal Lateral Threat Detection Can fail to inspect internal traffic, leaving a primary attack vector unprotected. |
Centralized Multicloud Management | Single Pane of Glass Management Manage the entire multicloud security posture from a single NOC-style console. | Fragmented, Complex Management Require security teams to pivot between multiple, disconnected cloud consoles. |
Inline AI Security | Purpose-Built AI Protection Stop emerging AI threats like prompt injection and model theft. | Limited Protection for AI Workloads Lack the specialized inspection required to secure AI application runtimes. |
Continuous Risk Assessment | Total, Real-Time Visibility Automatically discover and map all new workloads to eliminate blind spots. | Limited, Static Visibility Visibility is limited, leaving unmanaged risk as new assets are deployed. |
