About Palo Alto Networks Panorama

Use cases the adapter solves

Connecting Panorama to Axonius will allow you to quickly identify which assets are accessing the network over VPN. Specifically, Axonius can identify which private IP address is being used on the organization's internal network and identify which public IP address was used to access the VPN.

Data retrieved by Panorama
