Glasswall Launches Plug-in for Palo Alto Networks Firewalls to Close Gaps in Security from File-based Threats with Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) Platform
Summary
All files that are uploaded or downloaded are restored to the known-good manufacturers specification, removing the risk posed by file-based threats as they pass through the Palo Alto firewall. By delivering worry-free internet browsing, the plug-in offers policy-based file protection that can be configured to match administrator risk appetite. “Palo Alto Networks users who implement the Glasswall Palo Alto plug-in will benefit from a complete security package powered by industry-leading firewall and CDR solutions, removing the reliance on AV databases that cause protection lag on file-based threats,” commented Paul Farrington, chief product officer, Glasswall. It requires SSL Forward Proxy decryption to be enabled, where the firewall is established as a trusted third party (or man-in-the-middle) to session traffic. Its leading Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology instantly removes potential file-based threats, so organizations can trust every file.
