Why Smarter OT security with AI and Zero Trust for IT/OT?

Palo Alto Networks’ Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) are built to meet the specific needs of IT and OT leaders in industrial and critical infrastructure sectors such as manufacturing, transportation, and energy. As these environments increasingly converge, organizations face the challenge of securing complex hybrid systems that include both IT assets and operational technology. Our NGFW solution addresses this by enforcing Zero Trust principles across all network layers while supporting industry standards like ISA and IEC 62443. The platform provides deep visibility into network traffic, user behavior, and application flows, enabling granular control and automated threat prevention – even in segmented OT environments. Customers benefit from reduced cyber risk, improved transparency, and a simplified path to compliance with regulations. This future-ready, AI-powered security foundation enables secure digital transformation at scale.

Palo Alto Networks approach to OT security

Benefits

AI-driven NGFW enables real-time threat detection, automated response, and deep visibility across IT and OT. It reduces risks, supports Zero Trust, and ensures secure, resilient operations in industrial and critical environments.
The solution scales seamlessly across global IT/OT networks and aligns with ISA/IEC 62443. It unifies security policies across cloud and on-prem, simplifies compliance, and supports long-term digital transformation with centralized, intelligent control.

Featured Capabilities

Detection of known and unknown threats, including in encrypted traffic

They reduce risks and prevent a broad range of attacks. For example, they enable users to access data and applications based on business requirements as well as stop credential theft and an attacker’s ability to use stolen credentials.

Multiple form factors

Our NGFWs are available as hardware, virtual, container, and cloud form factors—securing data centers, branches, hybrid clouds, and Kubernetes. Cloud NGFW for AWS e.g. combines top-tier protection with a seamless, managed cloud-native experience.
