How it works
The Palo Alto Networks Firewall decrypts information as a user browsers the internet. It then connects with a security chain and uses ICAP to interact with the Glasswall CDR Platform. Any files that don’t match the known-good manufacturer’s specification are restored by the Glasswall Platform using our patented ISG*-compliant 4-step CDR process. Potentially malicious active content is removed, and a brand-new file is created, with a visually identical copy of the original file being returned to the Palo Alto Newtorks Firewall. The protected file is then returned to the firewall, via the same security chain. Thus delivering safe and secure files to the end user in seconds.
