Manage VM Series firewall configuration using Palo Alto Networks Panorama Solution

Security in the cloud is based on a shared responsibility model. Oracle is responsible for the security of the cloud: The underlying infrastructure, such as data center facilities, hardware, and software to manage cloud operations and services. Customers are responsible for securing their workloads in the cloud and configuring their services and applications securely to meet their compliance obligations.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers best-in-class security technology and operational processes to secure enterprise grade cloud services. Palo Alto Networks VM Series firewalls for OCI provide consistent threat prevention and inline network security across cloud environments, helping network security teams regain visibility and control over traffic in their cloud networks. Their Panorama network security management system enables you to control your distributed network of VM Series firewalls from one central location. View all your firewall traffic, manage all aspects of device configuration, push global policies, and generate reports on traffic patterns or security incidents – all from a single console.

Panorama

Panorama allows you to manage your VM Series Firewall configuration and offers the following key benefits:
