About Panorama Plugins
Panorama supports integrations with these services through
the extensible plugin architecture.
Panorama supports an extensible plugin architecture
that enables the integration and configuration of the following
capabilities:
- AIOps—The AIOps Plugin for Panorama enables you to proactively enforce best practice checks by validating your commits and letting you know if a policy needs work before you push it to Panorama.
- AWS—The AWS plugin enables you to monitor your EC2 workloads on AWS. With the plugin, you can enable communication between Panorama (running PAN-OS 8.1.3 or a later release) and your AWS VPCs so that Panorama can collect a predefined set of attributes (or metadata elements) as tags for your EC2 instances and register the information to your Palo Alto Networks firewalls. When you reference these tags in Dynamic Address Groups and match against them in Security policy rules, you can consistently enforce policy across all assets deployed within your VPCs.
- Azure—The Azure plugin enables you to monitor your virtual machines on the Azure public cloud. With the plugin, you can enable communication between Panorama (running PAN-OS 8.1.6 or a later release) and your Azure subscriptions so that Panorama can collect a predefined set of attributes (or metadata elements) as tags for your Azure virtual machines and register the information to your Palo Alto Networks firewalls. When you reference these tags in Dynamic Address Groups and match against them in Security policy rules, you can consistently enforce policy across all assets deployed within VNets in your subscriptions.
- Cisco ACI—The Cisco ACI plugin enables you to monitor endpoints in your Cisco ACI fabric. With the plugin, you enable communication between Panorama (8.1.6 and later) and your Cisco APIC so that Panorama can collect endpoint information as tags for your Endpoint Groups and register the information to you Palo Alto Networks firewalls. When you reference these tags in Dynamic Address Groups and match against them in Security policy rules, you can consistently enforce policy across all assets deployed within your Cisco ACI fabric.
- Cisco TrustSec—The Cisco TrustSec Plugin enables monitoring of endpoints in your Cisco TrustSec environment. With the plugin, you enable communication between Panorama and your Cisco pxGrid server so that Panorama can collect endpoint information as tags for your endpoints and register the information to you Palo Alto Networks firewalls. When you reference these tags in Dynamic Address Groups and match against them in security policy rules, you can consistently enforce policy across all assets deployed within your Cisco TrustSec environment.
- Cloud Services—The Cloud Services plugin enables the use of the Strata Logging Service and Prisma Access. The Strata Logging Service solves operational logging challenges and the Prisma Access cloud service extends your security infrastructure to your remote network locations and mobile workforce.
- Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP)— Enterprise DLP is a set of tools and processes that allow you to protect sensitive information against unauthorized access, misuse, extraction, or sharing. Enterprise DLP is enabled through a cloud service to help you inspect content and analyze the data in the correct context so that you can accurately identify sensitive data and secure it to prevent incidents. Enterprise DLP is supported on Panorama and managed firewalls running PAN-OS 10.0.2 and later releases.
- GCP—Enables you to secure Kubernetes services in a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. Configure the Panorama plugin for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to connect to your GKE cluster and learn about the services that are exposed to the internet.
- Panorama Interconnect—The Panorama Interconnect plugin enables you to manage large-scale firewall deployments. Use the Interconnect plugin to set up a two-tier Panorama deployment (on Panorama running PAN-OS 8.1.3 or a later release) for a horizontal scale-out architecture. With the Interconnect plugin, you can deploy a Panorama Controller with up to 64 Panorama Nodes or 32 Panorama HA pairs to centrally manage a large number of firewalls.
- Nutanix—The Panorama plugin for Nutanix enables VM monitoring in your Nutanix environment. It allows you to track the virtual machine inventory within your Nutanix Prism Central so that you can consistently enforce security policy that automatically adapts to changes within your Nutanix environment. As virtual machines are provisioned, de-provisioned or moved, this solution allows you to collect the IP addresses and associated sets of attributes (or metadata elements) as tags. You can then use the tags to define Dynamic Address Groups and use them in Security policy. The Panorama plugin for Nutanix requires Panorama 9.0.4 or later.
- SD-WAN—The Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) plugin allows you to use multiple internet and private services to create an intelligent and dynamic WAN, which helps lower costs and maximize application quality and usability. Instead of using costly and time-consuming MPLS with components such as routers, firewalls, WAN path controllers, and WAN optimizers to connect your WAN to the internet, SD-WAN on a Palo Alto Networks firewall allows you to use less expensive internet services and fewer pieces of equipment.
- VMware NSX—The VMware NSX plugin enables integration between the VM-Series firewall on VMware NSX with VMware NSX Manager. This integration allows you to deploy the VM-Series firewall as a service on a cluster of ESXi servers.
- VMware vCenter—The Panorama plugin for VMware vCenter allows you to monitor the virtual machines in your vCenter environment. The plugin retrieves IP addresses of virtual machines in your vCenter environment and converts them to tags that you can use to build policy using dynamic address groups.
- Zero Touch Provisioning—Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) is designed to simplify and automate the on-boarding of new firewalls to Panorama. ZTP streamlines the initial firewall deployment process by allowing network administrators to ship managed firewalls directly to their branches and automatically add the firewall to Panorama, allowing business to save on time and resources when deploying new firewalls. ZTP is supported on PAN-OS 9.1.3 and later releases.Not supported on Panorama in FIPS-CC mode.
- IPS Signature Converter—The IPS Signature Converter plugin for Panorama provides an automated solution for converting rules from third-party intrusion prevention systems—Snort and Suricata—into custom Palo Alto Networks threat signatures. You can then register these signatures on firewalls that belong to device groups you specify and use them to enforce policy in Vulnerability Protection and Anti-Spyware Security Profiles.
You can install multiple plugins and retrieve IP address updates
from multiple sources on a single Panorama instance. This allows
you to create and enforce consistent security policy to secure applications
and workloads across multiple cloud environments. Retrieved IP addresses
are used in security policy through dynamic address groups;
when a workload is added or removed from your environment, Panorama
registers the change and pushes the update to the firewalls. When
deploying multiple plugins on Panorama, you must carefully plan
your device group hierarchy to
ensure that updates are passed to your firewalls correctly.
Refer to the Palo Alto Networks Compatibility Matrix for
details on the different plugin versions and compatibility information.
