Network Security ManagementPanorama
Centralized management for the entire Palo Alto Networks firewall estate.
Palo Alto Networks Panorama is the centralized network security management platform for the firewall estate — provisioning firewalls, managing policy, aggregating logs, and reporting across physical, virtual, and container firewalls from one console. It gives one place to enforce consistent policy and see the whole environment. Faltrox operates Panorama as the management core of your firewall defence.
Overview
What Panorama is
Managing firewalls one by one does not scale, and inconsistency between them creates gaps. Panorama solves that by centralizing management of the entire Palo Alto Networks firewall estate — physical appliances, VM-Series, CN-Series, and more — from a single console, so policy is consistent and visibility is complete.
It provisions firewalls centrally, manages policy with shared and device-group hierarchies, aggregates logs and data from every firewall, and provides centralized reporting and analytics. That single pane is what lets a large, distributed firewall estate be operated consistently and audited as a whole. Faltrox operates Panorama — building the policy hierarchy, managing rollouts, and running reporting — as the management core of your firewall defence.

How it works
The mechanism
How the product moves from signal to protected state, step by step.
- 01
Onboard
Firewalls across the estate — physical, virtual, container — are onboarded into Panorama.
- 02
Structure Policy
Shared policy and device-group hierarchies define consistent rules that apply across the estate.
- 03
Provision
Firewalls are provisioned and configured centrally, so changes roll out consistently and quickly.
- 04
Aggregate
Logs and data from every firewall are aggregated for unified visibility, reporting, and analytics.
- 05
Operate
Faltrox builds the policy hierarchy, manages rollouts, and runs reporting as the management core.

Works with
Part of the platform
Palo Alto Networks products this pairs with, and the Faltrox services that operate it.
Delivery
You buy the outcome, not the console
Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Palo Alto Networks Panorama for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.
FAQ
Common questions
01What does Panorama actually do?
It centralizes management of the whole Palo Alto Networks firewall estate — provisioning firewalls, managing policy through shared and device-group hierarchies, aggregating logs, and reporting — from one console. It is how a large firewall estate is operated consistently rather than device by device.
02Does it manage virtual and container firewalls too?
Yes — Panorama manages physical appliances, the VM-Series, and the CN-Series together, so policy is consistent across physical, virtual, and container firewalls from one place.
03How does it help with audit and compliance?
It aggregates logs and data from every firewall and provides centralized reporting and analytics, giving one auditable view of the whole environment — which is what makes demonstrating consistent policy and controls across a large estate practical.
04How does Panorama relate to Strata Cloud Manager?
Panorama is the established on-premises/virtual management platform; Strata Cloud Manager is the cloud-based unified management with AIOps. They cover the same need with different operating models, and Faltrox recommends the right one for your estate.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We build and maintain the policy hierarchy, manage configuration rollouts across the estate, run the reporting and analytics, and use Panorama as the management core of the firewall defence we operate for you.
