How does the VM-Series enhance security in virtual environments?

The VM-Series enhances security in virtual environments by applying the same robust security features as physical firewalls. This means that organizations can benefit from the comprehensive security measures available in Palo Alto Networks' physical appliances, such as application identification, user identification, and advanced threat prevention, within their virtualized infrastructure. By leveraging the same technology and methodology, the VM-Series provides consistency across both physical and virtual environments, ensuring a unified security posture.

This integration of features allows for seamless security management and reduces complexity, enabling organizations to efficiently secure their virtualized workloads and data without compromising on the capabilities that they rely on in their physical networks. As organizations increasingly move towards cloud and virtual solutions, the VM-Series ensures that security remains strong and effective without the need for different configurations or entirely separate security strategies.
