Palo Alto Networks

We help Australian organisations reduce risk, improve visibility and respond faster to threats across networks, cloud environments, endpoints and SaaS applications.
introduction

Reduce risk, improve visibility and respond faster to threats across networks, cloud environments, endpoints and SaaS applications.

As organisations across Australia adopt cloud, embrace AI-enabled tools, and support increasingly distributed workforces, the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve. Attacks are more automated, more targeted and harder to detect, placing pressure on security teams to protect critical systems while meeting regulatory expectations and business demands.

Datacom partners with Palo Alto Networks, a global leader in cybersecurity,  to help organisations strengthen their security posture using a prevention-first, platform-based approach. Together, we help Australian organisations reduce risk, improve visibility and respond faster to threats across networkscloud environments, endpoints and SaaS applications.

Datacom works closely with Palo Alto Networks to design and deliver security architectures aligned to Zero Trust principles, Australian regulatory requirements and real-world operational constraints. From advisory and architecture through to implementation, migration and managed services, we help ensure Palo Alto solutions are deployed in a way that supports  long-term resilience rather than point-in-time protection. The result is a security platform that is integrated, optimised and aligned to your organisation’s risk profile, backed by local expertise and ongoing support.

Powering performance through partnership

Palo Alto Networks is one of the world’s leading cybersecurity vendors, founded to address the limitations of traditional perimeter-based security. Early firewalls relied on ports and protocols, offering limited visibility into modern applications, encrypted traffic and advanced threats.

Next-Generation Firewall was introduced to change this model. By identifying applications, users and content in real time, next-generation firewalls enable fine-grained security controls and deep inspection across all layers of the network, regardless of how traffic is routed or encrypted.

Palo Alto Networks has now evolved into a comprehensive, AI-powered cybersecurity platform, helping organisations prevent known and unknown threats across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments.

How can Datacom and Palo Alto help your Australian organisation?

Palo Alto Networks solutions consolidate multiple cybersecurity capabilities into a single, integrated platform, reducing complexity while improving protection across networks and branch connectivity, cloud and SaaS environments, endpoints and remote users, and data and application access.

Unified management, consistent policy enforcement and native integration across security services help reduce operational overhead and total cost of ownership, while enabling stronger security outcomes.

Palo Alto Networks technologies are foundational to a Zero Trust security architecture, supporting secure access based on identity, context and continuous verification rather than implicit trust.

What security services do Datacom and Palo Alto Networks provide?

Datacom delivers and supports a broad range of Palo Alto Networks cybersecurity services, enabling advanced protection beyond baseline firewall capabilities.

 

  • Threat prevention

    Combines antivirus, anti-spyware and vulnerability protection to block known malware, exploits and command-and-control traffic. Continuously updated threat intelligence ensures protection keeps pace with emerging risks.
  • Advanced URL filtering

    Uses inline machine learning to categorise and block previously unseen malicious URLs in real time, reducing exposure to phishing, ransomware and web-based threats.
  • DNS security

    Protects against DNS-based attacks using predictive analytics and machine learning to detect malicious domains, prevent data exfiltration and disrupt command-and-control activity.
  • WildFire malware analysis

    A cloud-delivered service that analyses unknown files and links in a sandbox environment, including bare-metal analysis. New threat signatures are generated and distributed globally in near real time.
  • IoT security

    Discovers and profiles unmanaged IoT and IT devices, assesses risk and enforces security policies to reduce exposure from poorly secured or unknown devices.
  • Enterprise data-loss prevention

    Cloud-delivered data loss prevention that identifies sensitive data across networks, cloud services and users, helping prevent accidental or malicious data leakage. Explore data protection
  • SaaS security

    Provides visibility and control over sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS applications, reducing shadow IT risk and supporting compliance requirements. Explore security services
  • Secure SD-WAN

    Enables secure, software-defined connectivity between sites, integrating WAN optimisation with native security controls. Explore managed WAN

Frequently asked questions

What is Palo Alto Networks cybersecurity?

Palo Alto Networks provides a prevention-first, platform-based approach to cybersecurity, designed to stop attacks across networks, cloud environments, endpoints and SaaS applications. Its solutions are powered by AI and real-time threat intelligence, helping Australian organisations detect and prevent both known and unknown threats.

What is DNS security and why does it matter?

DNS is a common entry point for cyber attacks. Palo Alto Networks DNS Security uses machine learning and predictive analytics to block malicious domains, prevent data exfiltration and disrupt command-and-control activity, often before attacks are visible through other controls.

What is a next-generation security platform?

Palo Alto Networks delivers an integrated security platform across Strata for network security and SASE, Prisma for cloud, SaaS and SD-WAN security, and Cortex for AI-driven detection, response and threat intelligence.
