Palo Alto Networks Delivers Next-Generation Firewall for Application Visibility and Policy ControlPalo Alto Networks today announced immediate availability of its PA-4000 Series, a next-generation firewall that gives organizations unmatched visibility into, and policy control over, applications flowing in and out of their networks.

He has been joined at Palo Alto Networks by industry veterans from Check Point, NetScreen, McAfee, Blue Coat Systems, Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks. The company also announced today that it has secured $18 million in Series B financing from Globespan Capital Partners, Greylock Partners and Sequoia Capital.
