The Palo Alto Networks security platform must be configured to integrate with a system-wide intrusion detection system.
Low Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Without coordinated reporting between separate devices, it is not possible to identify the true scale and possible target of an attack. Integration of the Palo Alto Networks security platform with a system-wide intrusion detection system supports continuous monitoring and incident response programs. This requirement applies to monitoring at internal boundaries using TLS gateways, web content filters, email gateways, and other types of ALGs. The Palo Alto Networks security platform can work as part of the network monitoring capabilities to off-load inspection functions from the external boundary IDPS by performing more granular content inspection of protocols at the upper layers of the OSI reference model. NetFlow is an industry-standard protocol that enables the firewall to record statistics on the IP traffic that traverses its interfaces. The Palo Alto Networks security platform can export the statistics as NetFlow fields to a NetFlow collector. The NetFlow collector is a server you use to analyze network traffic for security, administration, accounting and troubleshooting purposes.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
