Harden Your Palo Alto Networks NGFW Controls

Reach continuously analyzes your Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) to find shadowed, redundant, and overly permissive rules, weak security profiles, and configuration drift. Reach prioritizes what matters, guides or automates the fix, and validates that live enforcement stays aligned with security intent.

Supercharge Your Palo Alto Networks NGFW Security Controls

THE CONTROLS

Palo Alto Networks NGFW enforces policy by source, destination, application, user, service, and URL category, while App-ID, URL Filtering, Threat Prevention, and decryption inspect the traffic it allows.

THE CHALLENGE

Rulebases change constantly. New applications, moving workloads, troubleshooting exceptions, and shared IT and Security ownership mean rules pile up and the live rulebase can drift from the posture you intended.

THE SOLUTION

Reach continuously analyzes Palo Alto Networks NGFW controls to find and fix misconfigurations and catch drift before it weakens enforcement.

Find Shadowed, Redundant, and Overly Permissive Rules

Palo Alto Networks firewalls evaluate rules from top to bottom, stopping at the first match. Broader rules can shadow more specific ones, preventing them from being enforced. Reach identifies stale, shadowed, redundant, unreachable, disabled, and overly permissive rules, showing conflicting rules and affected firewalls.

Prioritize With Context From AI-powered Reacher

Not every shadowed rule poses the same risk. Reach distinguishes redundant rules from those whose intended actions or inspection never take effect. Reacher, Reach's embedded AI investigator, explains the impact and recommends fixes without manual rulebase analysis.

Fix Rules With Step-by-Step Guidance

Reach provides targeted remediation guidance, from removing redundant rules to reordering or narrowing conflicting policies. It guides analysts through each change and supports automated remediation workflows where appropriate.

Catch Drift Before It Weakens Enforcement

Firewall configurations change constantly. Reach detects disabled protections, weakened inspection, policy changes, and new exposures, showing what changed, who made the change, the potential impact, and how to restore protection.
