Prisma SaaS and VM-300 firewalls can send logs to the Cortex Data Lake (now called Strata Logging Service). Prisma SaaS logs user activity and data access within SaaS applications and forwards these logs to the Strata Logging Service for centralized analysis and monitoring. Similarly, VM-300 firewalls deployed in AWS can send various types of logs, including traffic and threat logs, to the Strata Logging Service through Panorama or directly​ (Palo Alto Networks)​​ (Palo Alto Networks)​.

Palo Alto Networks Single Pass Parallel Processing (SP3) architecture is designed to handle traffic efficiently and securely. The key aspect of SP3 is:

Single Pass Processing (C): This means that all traffic is processed in a single pass through the firewall, regardless of the number of security features enabled. There is no additional performance impact for each feature because the firewall processes all security functions (such as threat prevention, URL filtering, and application control) simultaneously in a single pass. This architecture ensures high performance and low latency while maintaining robust security.

Decryption Broker on a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) provides two primary benefits:

Offloading SSL decryption: The NGFW decrypts traffic once and then forwards it to multiple security devices for inspection, avoiding the need to decrypt and re-encrypt traffic multiple times, thus improving efficiency.

Reducing third-party devices: By handling SSL decryption within the NGFW, the need for separate, dedicated SSL decryption devices is eliminated, reducing the complexity and number of devices required for network security.

These features streamline traffic analysis and enforcement while maintaining robust security.
