Tejas Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless integration into existing ecosystem empowers effective threat detection
The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus is its seamless integration into the Palo Alto Networks ecosystem, allowing the threat intelligence feeds to be automatically consumed without manual effort. It uses the STIX format, which is automatically understood by the firewalls. AutoFocus also excels in behavioral analytics and reputation scoring, providing thorough threat analysis.

High fidelity cyber incident detection is near in real-time, enabling proactive & timely mitigation efforts
The nature of the system means it has to be implemented throughout the organizations. You need to implement it on the network layer, the email layer, the web proxy layer, and also the endpoints. Nevertheless, endpoint monitoring is very challenging due to the lack of automated method to install the endpoint agents. In one of our customer case, we have about 40,000 endpoints and we need to have a simplified method of deployment if we're going to implement the endpoint monitoring effectively. Product features also need some improvement in creating custom signatures for detection because that is not open to customers.
