The Cloud Shift

Palo Alto delivers centralized inspection and threat prevention. Cloud environments introduce DevSecOps workflows, Kubernetes, and managed services that operate alongside traditional firewall operating models.

Centralized inspection remains critical, but cloud-native environments require enforcement that integrates with how workloads are built and deployed.

Better Together Through Cloud-Native Architecture

Palo Alto provides best-in-class inspection and threat prevention. Aviatrix adds a cloud-native control plane that integrates tags, Kubernetes identity, and CI/CD workflows to extend policy enforcement into cloud-native workload communication—without disrupting existing Palo Alto operations.

Cloud-native policy context
Applies intent-based policy using cloud tags, Kubernetes identities, and automation workflows.
Runtime risk reduction
Limits unnecessary workload-to-workload paths attackers exploit after initial compromise.
Operational consistency
Keeps enforcement consistent across dynamic environments and rapid change.
Local cloud enforcement
Enforces policy at the VPC and workload level, including secure egress control and NAT, to support cloud-native architectures alongside centralized firewall inspection.

Extending Palo Alto

Aviatrix extends Palo Alto by adding cloud-native enforcement where centralized firewalls are not designed to operate—at the VPC and workload level. This includes local egress control, policy enforcement aligned to cloud tags and Kubernetes identity, and support for dynamic, automated environments.

Cloud security requires both centralized inspection and localized, cloud-native enforcement to manage DevSecOps workflows, Kubernetes, and managed services. Designed to extend—not replace—Palo Alto.
