Network Security ManagementStrata Cloud Manager
Cloud-based, AI-powered unified management for network security.
Palo Alto Networks Strata Cloud Manager is the cloud-delivered, AI-powered management platform for network security — unifying management, visibility, and AIOps across firewalls, SASE, and the Cloud-Delivered Security Services from one console. It proactively surfaces issues and recommends configuration before they cause problems. Faltrox operates it as the modern management and AIOps core of your network defence.
Overview
What Strata Cloud Manager is
As network security spans firewalls, SASE, and cloud-delivered services, managing each in isolation gets complex and reactive. Strata Cloud Manager is the cloud-based answer: a single, AI-powered console that unifies management, visibility, and operations across the Palo Alto Networks network security portfolio.
Beyond centralised configuration and policy, it adds AIOps — proactively detecting misconfigurations, capacity issues, and security posture gaps, and recommending fixes before they cause outages or exposures. It gives unified visibility across firewalls, Prisma Access/SASE, and the Cloud-Delivered Security Services, with best-practice assessments and health monitoring. Faltrox operates Strata Cloud Manager as the modern management and AIOps core of the network defence it runs for you.

FAQ
Common questions
01How is Strata Cloud Manager different from Panorama?
Panorama is the established on-premises/virtual management platform; Strata Cloud Manager is cloud-delivered and adds AIOps — proactively detecting issues and recommending fixes across firewalls, SASE, and cloud-delivered services. It is the modern, unified management console. Faltrox recommends the right one for your estate.
02What is AIOps in this context?
AIOps means the platform uses AI to proactively surface misconfigurations, capacity issues, and security-posture gaps and recommend fixes before they cause outages or exposures — shifting operations from reactive firefighting to proactive prevention.
03Does it manage more than firewalls?
Yes — it unifies management and visibility across firewalls, Prisma Access/SASE, and the Cloud-Delivered Security Services, so the whole network security portfolio is operated from one console rather than several.
04Does it require on-site infrastructure?
No — it is cloud-delivered, so there is no on-site management infrastructure to deploy or maintain, unlike a self-hosted Panorama. That is part of its operational appeal for distributed estates.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We use Strata Cloud Manager as the management and AIOps core of the network defence we run — configuring and maintaining policy, acting on its best-practice and health recommendations, and monitoring the whole portfolio from one console.
