AZURE & PALO ALTO FIREWALLS

Azure and Palo Alto Networks can be integrated to provide secure access to Azure
resources from your on-premises Palo Alto firewall.

This is achieved by deploying a Palo Alto Networks firewall in the on-premises network
and configuring it to establish a secure connection (e.g., VPN) to an Azure VNET.

Once the connection is established, the firewall can be used to control access to Azure
resources based on security policies. Additionally, Azure Defender and/or Sentinel can be
used to monitor and manage the security of the integrated environment.

The firewall can be also integrated with Azure


Monitor for logging and Azure Automation for
automating the tasks.

Please note that, to deploy the firewall in Azure,


you will need a valid license and a subscription to
the Azure platform.
AZURE & PALO ALTO FIREWALLS

Palo Alto Networks provides a firewall virtual machine (VM) image for Azure,
called the VM-Series firewall. This firewall can be deployed as an instance within
an Azure VNET, and can be used to secure access to Azure resources and to
provide secure connectivity between Azure and on-premises networks.

The VM-Series firewall is available in several different sizes, based on the


amount of network throughput that is required. It supports both Azure Resource
Manager (ARM) and Azure classic deployment models. It also supports for Azure
ExpressRoute and Azure Virtual WAN.
Ø The firewall instance can be managed using the Palo Alto Networks Device
Management (Panorama) web interface, which allows administrators to create
and manage security policies, monitor network traffic, and troubleshoot issues.
Additionally, the firewall can be integrated with Microsoft Defender and/or
Sentinel for additional visibility and security management capabilities.
