The PA-445 is the mid-range tier of Palo Alto’s PA-400 Series, bringing ML-powered NGFW protection, full application visibility, and zero-day threat prevention to distributed enterprises that need stronger throughput than the PA-440 delivers.

Top Features

ML-powered threat prevention

Block unknown and zero-day attacks inline with machine learning built directly into the firewall, neutralizing file-based threats, phishing attempts, and evasive exploits in real time.

Complete application visibility

Identify every application, user, device, and IoT endpoint on your network with full Layer 7 inspection, so policy decisions are based on activity rather than just ports and IPs.

Strong-throughput fanless design

A compact fanless form factor with optional redundant power supply gives PA-445 the capacity that distributed enterprises need without compromising on silence or reliability.

Beyond licensing, a seamless, fully supported PA-445 NGFW experience with Discreet Vision.

Why Your Business Needs the PA-445 NGFW

The PA-445 isn't just a firewall, it's the mid-range tier of Palo Alto's ML-powered NGFW architecture, bringing the full prevention-first security stack to distributed enterprises needing more than the PA-440 offers.

Built for Distributed Enterprises: Sized for enterprises running multiple branch offices, PA-445 handles higher session volume and inspection load than the PA-440, keeping distributed operations moving.

Same PAN-OS as Every Palo Alto Firewall: Runs the identical PAN-OS as every other Palo Alto NGFW, so security policies, management tools, and threat intelligence work consistently across your entire fleet.

Industry-Leading Threat Detection: Earned the highest security effectiveness score in NSS Labs testing with 100% of evasions blocked, giving distributed enterprises strong protection against advanced threats.

Zero Touch Provisioning: Deploy PA-445 across dozens of branches without on-site IT visits, with Zero Touch Provisioning, centralized Panorama management, and fanless hardware for low-disruption rollout.

Built for how modern teams secure distributed enterprises.

Everything your business needs to secure a distributed enterprise, delivered in one ML-powered firewall combining machine learning threat prevention, Layer 7 visibility, IoT security, SD-WAN, and centralized Panorama management for distributed enterprise locations at scale.

ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall

PA-445 embeds machine learning into the core of the firewall to provide inline signatureless attack prevention for file-based attacks while identifying and stopping never-before-seen phishing attempts. Cloud-based ML processes push zero-delay signatures back to the NGFW, so protection stays current without manual updates. Behavioral analysis detects IoT devices and makes policy recommendations as part of a cloud-delivered service integrated natively on the firewall itself.

Application & User Visibility

PA-445 identifies and categorizes all applications on all ports, all the time, with full Layer 7 inspection regardless of port, protocol, evasive technique, or TLS/SSL encryption. Automatically discover and control new applications to keep pace with the SaaS explosion through SaaS Security subscriptions, and use the application rather than the port as the basis for safe enablement decisions: allow, deny, schedule, inspect, and apply traffic-shaping across every session on the network.

User-Based Security Policies

Enforce security for users at any location and on any device while adapting policy based on user activity. Define Dynamic User Groups on the firewall to take time-bound security actions without waiting for changes in user directories, enabling visibility, policies, reporting, and forensics based on users and groups, not just IP addresses. PA-445 integrates with a wide range of repositories to leverage user information including LAN controllers, VPNs, directory servers, SIEMs, and proxies.

Cloud-Delivered Security Services

Detect and prevent advanced threats with cloud-delivered security services including Advanced Threat Prevention, WildFire malware prevention, Advanced URL Filtering, SaaS Security, and IoT Security. Today’s cyberattacks can spawn 45,000 variants in 30 minutes using multiple threat vectors to deliver payloads. PA-445 consolidates these protections into a single inline service stack, inspecting TLS/SSL-encrypted traffic including TLS 1.3 and HTTP/2 for hidden threats across every session.

Centralized Management & SD-WAN

Benefit from centralized management, configuration, and visibility for distributed Palo Alto NGFWs through Panorama network security management in one unified interface. AIOps for NGFW delivers continuous best-practice recommendations tailored to your deployment to strengthen posture. PA-445 also enables natively integrated SD-WAN capabilities on your existing firewall, delivering an exceptional end-user experience by minimizing latency, jitter, and packet loss across branches and sites.
