The Nutanix and Palo Alto Networks solution simplifies the process of securing inside (east-west) data center traffic. It seamlessly integrates Palo Alto Networks VM-Series capabilities into Nutanix environments, avoiding complex network redesigns. This joint solution combines microsegmentation with advanced threat prevention, automatically steering traffic for deep inspection. By enabling dynamic service insertion of VM-Series capabilities into existing traffic flows, security teams can define which application flows require inspection without manual routing changes or added overhead. The result is a scalable, resilient zero trust framework with automated policy enforcement and deep visibility for mission-critical workloads.
