Secure your Palo Alto Networks surface
Perimeter policy, threat prevention coverage, and rules that shadow the controls behind them. We don’t connect to Palo Alto Networks to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.

Where Palo Alto Networks goes wrong
Palo Alto rule bases go wrong through shadowing: a correct, strict rule that sits below a broader one never matches anything.
- Security rules with any in source, destination, or application
- Threat prevention profiles missing from rules that permit inbound traffic
- Shadowed rules that silently prevent later, stricter rules from ever matching
- Decryption disabled broadly, leaving inspection blind
- Content and application signature updates falling behind
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Palo Alto Networks
On Palo Alto we analyse the rule base for shadowing, because a rule that never evaluates provides exactly nothing.
- Rule base analysed for shadowing, because a correct rule that never matches provides nothing
- Threat profile coverage checked per permitting rule
- Application-level policy reviewed against actual traffic
- Decryption coverage assessed against the traffic that matters and the privacy constraints that apply
- Signature currency monitored as a control
[03] Where It Lands
Where Palo Alto Networks lands in your registers
Every managed device becomes an asset register entry with its owner, encryption state, and OS currency. Access reviews cover the accounts bound to it, and the risk register carries what an unpatched or unencrypted endpoint actually exposes given the data that person handles. The gap that matters most is the device your MDM has never seen — we reconcile against your directory and HR record to find it.
[04] How We Engage
On Palo Alto Networks specifically
On Palo Alto Networks, we remediate shadowed and overly broad rules and attach missing threat profiles. Decryption rollout we plan with you given its privacy and performance implications.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Palo Alto Networks FAQs
What access does Konfirmity need to Panorama or the firewall?
Konfirmity needs a read-only administrator role via the XML or REST API, covering security rules, security profiles, decryption policy and content update status. We read configuration and traffic statistics; we do not make changes without an agreed change window.
Do you advise on decryption coverage?
Yes, and with the trade-offs stated. Without decryption, inspection is blind to most traffic; with it, you take on privacy, performance and legal considerations. We help you decide where decryption is justified rather than recommending it everywhere by default.
