Palo Alto Networks consultants and security engineers

Strata firewall specialists review existing PAN-OS configurations and implement controls around documented application access requirements. Bring them in when rules have accumulated or network segmentation needs to change.

• Policy configuration: Configure App-ID and User-ID policies, with security profiles matched to application risks. Review unused rules and overly broad permissions before proposing changes.
• Network security engineering: Configure routing and NAT, IPsec VPNs and high-availability pairs. Validate permitted traffic and failure behavior against agreed acceptance criteria.

Prisma Cloud consultants assess cloud exposure and turn findings into remediation tasks that infrastructure and application engineers can act on. They configure account onboarding and review coverage across AWS or Azure environments.

• Cloud posture and permissions: Investigate misconfigurations and excessive access. Tune policies to reflect account ownership and documented exceptions.
• Workload and code security: Configure container image scanning and infrastructure-as-code checks. Investigate workload vulnerabilities, then coordinate corrections with the engineers responsible for affected services.

Palo Alto Networks engineers use Panorama templates and device groups to standardize configuration across firewall estates. They reconcile local overrides with central policy and validate changes before broader rollout.

For firewall migrations, specialists assess rule dependencies and translate existing configurations into PAN-OS policies. They test routing and application access, prepare rollback procedures, and support staged cutovers. Integration work can include identity services and SIEM log forwarding, with checks that authentication context and security events reach the intended systems.

Firewall engineers investigate dropped connections and VPN failures using PAN-OS traffic logs and packet captures. They distinguish policy errors from routing issues before changing controls, then verify that the correction preserves intended access restrictions.

Ongoing support can cover PAN-OS upgrade planning and configuration reviews. Specialists check release compatibility, test high-availability failover, validate backups, and document recovery steps. Prisma Cloud specialists also investigate missing workload coverage and tune recurring alerts against agreed security policies, with exceptions recorded for review.
