Prisma Access is a Secure Access Service Edge or SASE technology that allows for network and security to be delivered as a service from the cloud. It is the SSE component of Prisma SASE, a secure access service edge (SASE) solution that converges networking and security in a single offering. <\/p>
On its own, Prisma Access offers consolidated best-in-class and cloud-delivered ZTNA 2.0 security with the best user experience on a single unified platform. <\/p>
As a Cloud service, Prisma Access allows you to avoid the challenges of figuring out what type of hardware to buy by providing scalability. It also minimizes the coverage gaps or inconsistencies associated with distributer organizations. <\/p>
Prisma Access protects the hybrid workforce with superior security while providing exceptional user experiences from a simple, unified security product. Purpose-built in the cloud to secure at cloud scale, it can singlehandedly protect all application traffic with best-in-class capabilities while securing both access and data to dramatically reduce the risk of a data breach. <\/p>
With a common policy framework and single-pane-of-glass management, Prisma Access secures today\u2019s hybrid workforce without compromising performance, backed by industry-leading SLAs to ensure exceptional user experiences.<\/p>
Some of its functions include:<\/p>
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) 2.0 <\/strong><\/p> The platform combines automated app discovery and private app onboarding with superior security. This helps it provide fine-grained, least-privileged access, continuous trust verification, and deep and ongoing security inspection to protect all users, devices, apps, and data everywhere.<\/p> Cloud Secure Web Gateway (SWG)<\/strong><\/p> With Prisma Access, you can seamlessly migrate from legacy on-premises and cloud-based proxy solutions to gain online visibility. You also gain control of internet and SaaS app traffic with industry-leading AI\/ML-powered security protections.<\/p> Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)<\/strong><\/p> Prisma Access lets you rapidly discover and regain control over all your SaaS applications with integrated Next-Generation CASB. The CASB combines powerful SaaS security posture management, inline and API-based controls, and contextual policies to determine access levels for sensitive information.<\/p> Firewall as a Service (FWaaS)<\/strong><\/p> Prisma Access’ FWaaS protects your remote locations from even the most sophisticated threats, providing a full spectrum of security services. This includes advanced threat prevention, advanced URL filtering, DNS security, sandboxing, and more.<\/p> Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM)<\/strong><\/p> With Prisma Access, you gain end-to-end visibility and insights across your network traffic. ADEM also lets you experience autonomous remediation. including end-user, and self-serve remediation.<\/p> Prisma Access delivers both networking and security services, which include:<\/p> Many branch offices and retail stores are geographically distributed and lack full-time IT staff, making deployment, management, change control, and hardware refreshes difficult. <\/p> Prisma Access can be used to connect remote networks over a standard IPsec connection. It can use any existing router, software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) edge device, Mobile users need consistent security to access data centers and cloud applications. Remote access VPN falls short because users typically connect to a gateway for access to the data center applications, and then disconnect from the VPN to get better performance (but less security) when accessing cloud and internet applications.<\/p> Prisma Access, however, brings protection closer to users so traffic doesn\u2019t have to backhaul to headquarters to reach the cloud. It works together with the GlobalProtect\u2122 app on a user\u2019s With Prisma Access, all users have secure, fast access to all applications in the cloud, on the internet, or in your data center.<\/p> The GlobalProtect app also lets you establish access policies based on host information profile (HIP), enabling even more granular security policies tied to device characteristics \u2014 such as operating system, patch level, and the presence of required endpoint software \u2014 when accessing sensitive applications.<\/p> Large populations of users may need to change locations from time to time, as conferences, weather, and natural disasters can strain local infrastructure. Prisma Access monitors these conditions and automatically scales to add capacity in regions that need it.<\/p> Service connections connect Prisma Access to your HQ or Data Centre resources. It also leverages IPSec tunnels for secure transport over the internet. <\/p> These are Layer 3 router connections that can accommodate static or dynamic routing and can terminate any IPSec-capable firewall, router, or SD-WAN device. These terminate on a corporate access node on the Prisma Access end of the connection and the service connections are what provide the inbound connectivity to those centrally located resources.<\/p> The difference between a Remote Network and a Service Connection is<\/strong><\/p> In Service Connection, you can route traffic to Prisma Access to the Internet. <\/p> There are two methods used to manage Prisma Access:<\/p> Palo Alto Prisma Access uses Cortex Data Lake<\/a> to store logs. Cortex Data Lake stores the logging that happens for any of the actions taken by Prisma Access. You can forward logs to any other device by redirecting the logs from Cortex Data Lake to on-prem device or log server.<\/p> Unlike conventional software-defined perimeter or proxy solutions, Prisma Access provides networking for all applications and consistent security that makes sure the same policies are enforced at all times.<\/p> Stops zero-day threats in zero time with built-in AI\/ML capabilities. Also combines with least-privileged access, and continuous trust and threat verification to ensure that all users, devices, apps, and data are secure. <\/p> Prisma Access uses a common cloud-based infrastructure that delivers protection from over 100+ locations around the world in 76 countries. Customers manage their own security policies with their own dedicated cloud instances, which provide isolation of traffic for privacy.<\/p> Dramatically reduce the risk of a data breach with a single unified product that offers single-pane-of-glass management. Also offers consistent policy and shared data for all users and apps.<\/p> Lets you use the security capabilities that you need, including advanced threat prevention, web filtering, and sandboxing. Also includes DNS security, credential theft prevention, DLP, and next-generation firewall policies based on user-to-application and host information profiles.<\/p> Deliver exceptional user experiences at cloud scale without compromising performance, backed by industry-leading SLAs. <\/p> Below are the total costs for these different subscription durations.
