Internet Edge & Campus

PA-3410 · PA-3420 · PA-3430 · PA-3440

PA-3400 series — high-speed internet gateway and campus edge NGFW. 1RU design with multi-gigabit ports for organizations requiring high throughput without data center hardware.

Enterprise Data Center

PA-5410 · PA-5420 · PA-5430 · PA-5440 · PA-5445

PA-5400 series — enterprise and data center NGFW. 2RU design with 2.5x higher threat performance than previous generation. PA-5445 delivers industry-leading throughput for high-speed data center and internet gateway deployments.

High-Performance & Quantum

PA-5540 · PA-5550 · PA-5560 · PA-5570 · PA-5580 · PA-7500

PA-5500 series (released Aug 2025) — quantum-optimized NGFWs built on the FE400 ASIC for post-quantum encrypted traffic inspection. PA-7500 provides over 1.5 Tbps App-ID performance for hyperscale data centers.

Platform Capabilities

PAN-OS Platform — Key Capabilities

Every PA-Series firewall runs PAN-OS — a purpose-built security operating system with App-ID, User-ID, Device-ID, and content inspection designed from the ground up for next-generation firewall.

App-ID Application Identification

Palo Alto's patented App-ID identifies over 3,000 applications regardless of port, protocol, or encryption — enabling granular application-layer security policies that traditional port-based firewalls cannot enforce.

ML-Powered Threat Prevention

Machine learning-powered inline threat prevention — identifies and blocks zero-day exploits, malware, and evasion techniques without requiring prior signatures. WildFire cloud sandbox for advanced malware analysis.

SSL/TLS Decryption

Policy-based decryption of SSL/TLS traffic for full threat inspection — certificate pinning exceptions, privacy controls, and hardware-accelerated decryption that preserves performance on encrypted traffic.

GlobalProtect Remote Access

GlobalProtect provides consistent security policy for remote and mobile users — always-on VPN, HIP endpoint compliance checks, and MFA integration for zero-trust remote access enforcement.

Panorama & Strata Cloud Manager

Centralized management via Panorama (on-premises) or Strata Cloud Manager (cloud) — single-pane-of-glass policy management, automated best practice assessment, and predictive analytics across all PA-Series devices.

Zero Touch Provisioning

PA-400 and PA-500 series support Zero Touch Provisioning via Strata Cloud Manager — ship hardware to a remote site, plug in, and the firewall downloads its configuration automatically without on-site IT.

FAQ

Palo Alto Networks Installer FAQs

Are you a certified Palo Alto Networks installer in Southern California?
Yes. WCC Technologies Group installs and configures Palo Alto Networks PA-Series firewalls throughout Southern California — serving all six counties from our headquarters in Chino, CA.
What PA-Series models does WCC install?
WCC installs the full PA-Series lineup — PA-400 series (PA-410 through PA-460, including 5G models), PA-500 series (PA-501 through PA-560 with PoE), PA-1400 series, PA-3400 series, PA-5400 series, PA-5500 quantum-optimized series, and PA-7500.
What is App-ID and why does it matter?
App-ID is Palo Alto's patented application identification technology — it identifies applications in network traffic regardless of the port, protocol, or encryption being used. This enables security policies based on actual application behavior rather than just port numbers, which is how most modern threats evade traditional firewalls.
Does WCC configure SSL decryption on Palo Alto firewalls?
Yes. WCC configures SSL/TLS decryption policies on PA-Series firewalls — including certificate pinning exceptions, privacy controls for sensitive categories, and performance optimization. SSL decryption is essential for effective threat inspection since the majority of internet traffic is now encrypted.
Do you install Palo Alto firewalls in the Inland Empire?
Yes. WCC installs Palo Alto Networks PA-Series across the Inland Empire — serving Chino, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, Fontana, Redlands, Riverside, Corona, Murrieta, and Temecula. No travel fees in the Inland Empire.
