Overview

Join us for an immersive, hands-on Ultimate Test Drive (UTD) workshop focused on unlocking the full potential of Palo Alto Networks' Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS). As threat actors deploy highly evasive, AI-driven attacks, relying on legacy signatures is no longer enough. This session will showcase how to transform your security posture using inline machine learning and cloud-scale intelligence.

Throughout this workshop, you will dive into a real-world lab environment to configure, test, and manage core security services on a Next-Generation Firewall. You'll gain hands-on experience identifying and blocking unknown command-and-control (C2) traffic, stopping zero-day threats, and securing blind spots like DNS and unmanaged IoT devices.

Technical Details Explored

• Advanced Threat Prevention: Configure and test inline cloud analysis to block zero-day vulnerabilities, command injection, SQL injection, and highly evasive C2 traffic.

• Advanced URL Filtering: See the engine categorize malicious URLs and evasive phishing sites on the fly, preventing credential theft before the first click.

• DNS Security: Identify and neutralize DNS tunneling, domain generation algorithms (DGAs), and strategically aged domains, while securely managing DNS-over-HTTPS.

• WildFire & Advanced WildFire: Deploy inline ML for multiple file types and explore how zero-day malware is analyzed and thwarted at scale.

• IoT & SaaS Security: Discover unmanaged devices, assess IoT risk, and implement Enterprise DLP alongside automated App Visibility and Control.

Key Takeaways

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

• Prevent Patient Zero: Shift from a reactive stance to proactive, machine-speed prevention of previously unknown threats.

• Close Network Blind Spots: Secure the DNS layer and gain comprehensive visibility into IoT devices and Shadow IT SaaS applications.

• Safeguard Sensitive Data: Implement granular Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to protect regulated and confidential information from exfiltration.

• Simplify Policy Management: Seamlessly apply CDSS best practices and security profiles directly to your Next-Generation Firewall environment.
