Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Next-Generation Firewall

The Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Next-Generation Firewall is a virtualized firewall that delivers advanced security features traditionally found in hardware firewalls—but runs as a software appliance in virtual and cloud environments.

It is powered by PAN-OS, the same operating system used in Palo Alto’s physical firewalls, ensuring consistent security policies across on-premises, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. If you’re running Palo Alto firewalls in a virtual environment, the PA-VM-ESX-11.1.6-h7 release is an important maintenance update that improves security, stability, and VMware compatibility.
