Panorama Consulting & Centralized Firewall Management

Centralized management that makes change safer

Panorama gives you one place to manage policy, configuration, logs and software across multiple Palo Alto firewalls. Designed well, it removes copy-and-paste configuration and makes every change consistent. Designed poorly, it becomes a second layer of complexity. We help you get the first outcome.

When Panorama is worth it

• You manage several firewalls, or plan to, across sites, data centers or cloud.
• Multiple administrators need consistent policy and an audit trail.
• You need centralized logging and reporting for compliance or incident response.
• You want a repeatable change process with review before commit.

For a single HA pair with a small team, local management can be perfectly reasonable. We will tell you honestly which fits.

What we design and implement

• Device groups with a hierarchy that keeps shared policy shared and local exceptions visible.
• Templates and template stacks for network, device and system settings, with variables for site-specific values.
• Log collection sized for your retention needs, whether Panorama, dedicated log collectors or cloud logging.
• Onboarding existing firewalls by importing their configuration into Panorama without disrupting production.
• Version strategy. Panorama must run the same or a later PAN-OS release than the firewalls it manages, so upgrades are planned together.
• Commit and push workflow with administrator roles, change review and configuration audits.

Already running Panorama?

We also review existing Panorama deployments: overlapping device groups, overrides that hide drift, templates nobody understands and log collectors that are running out of space. A cleanup here often has a bigger impact than any single firewall change.
