I recently upgraded my home lab firewall to a PA-440 from Palo Alto. I really like the Palo Alto solution, both for production and in the home lab. The new PA-400 series firewalls are great for ensuring your connectivity is both secure and protected from threats using the advanced Palo Alto series. This video takes a look at the overall specs of the PA 400 series firewalls, the features, capabilities, and security of the units.
