paloaltonetworks / paloaltonetworks.panos
PAN-OS is the proprietary operating system that runs on Palo Alto Networks firewalls. This operating system is designed to provide a range of security features, including traditional firewall capabilities, such as packet filtering and VPN support, and advanced features like application identification, content inspection, and threat prevention. PAN-OS enables the firewall to deliver comprehensive, next-generation security services by effectively identifying, controlling, and safely enabling applications while preventing cyber threats.
The paloaltonetworks.panos Ansible collection includes modules and plugins specifically designed to automate the configuration and management of Palo Alto Networks devices running PAN-OS. This collection allows network administrators and security professionals to programmatically manage various aspects of their Palo Alto Networks firewalls and Panorama management consoles, such as setting up security policies, managing NAT rules, configuring VPNs, and updating device settings. This collection allows users to integrate their Palo Alto Networks infrastructure into their broader network automation workflows, enabling more efficient and consistent configuration, enhanced security, and reduced manual intervention.
