Stop Advanced Threats at Data Center Scale
Large campuses and internet edge gateways need high throughput without giving up deep security. The Palo Alto Networks PA-5560 delivers precisely that: a quantum-optimized next-generation firewall built on single-pass architecture and Precision AI to inspect, prevent, and enforce at wire speed—so security never becomes the bottleneck.
Key Benefits & Features
The PA-5560 brings enterprise-grade protections with predictable performance, simple operations, and hardware headroom for future cryptography and clustering.
High Performance You Can Count On
Designed for data center and internet edge use, the PA-5560 provides 240 Gbps firewall (AppMix), 180 Gbps Threat Prevention, 125 Gbps IPsec VPN, and scales to 74 million sessions with 2.5 million new sessions per second—performance that holds with security services enabled.
Precision AI with Single-Pass Architecture
Inline machine learning and a single-pass pipeline analyze applications, content, and users once, enabling signatureless prevention of zero-day phishing and malware while minimizing latency and maximizing consistency under load.
Quantum-Ready and Encrypted Traffic Visibility
Be ready for PQC transitions with support for NIST algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) and options for PQC VPN and SSL/TLS controls. Gain policy and decryption visibility across TLS 1.3 and legacy protocols to safely manage encrypted traffic at scale.
Clustering & Unified Cloud Management
Build resilient, horizontally scalable security using NGFW clustering and HA. Operate at scale with Strata Cloud Manager and Copilot for unified policy, best-practice checks, and AI-assisted troubleshooting across your estate.
Ideal Use Cases
- High-speed internet gateways requiring full NGFW + Threat Prevention
- Data centers consolidating security with predictable performance
- Large campuses and service providers needing HA/clustering and 100/400G IO
- Organizations preparing for post-quantum cryptography
Technical Specifications
- Firewall Throughput (AppMix): 240 Gbps
- Threat Prevention Throughput: 180 Gbps
- IPsec VPN Throughput: 125 Gbps
- Max Concurrent Sessions: 74 million
- New Sessions per Second: 2.5 million
- Virtual Systems (Base/Max): 25/225
- Interfaces: 8× 10/25G SFP28, 12× 40/100G QSFP28, 8× 100/400G QSFP-DD
