Palo Alto Prisma SASE

Palo Alto Prisma SASE is an AI-powered Secure Access Service Edge platform that natively converges enterprise-grade Software-Defined Wide Area Networking and comprehensive Security Service Edge capabilities into a unified, cloud-delivered architecture. Designed to meet the demands of modern distributed enterprises, the solution securely connects branch offices, retail outlets, data centers, and remote workers to cloud applications, SaaS platforms, and private corporate environments while optimizing network throughput and application performance.

The platform integrates Prisma SD-WAN hardware and virtual appliances with cloud-native Prisma Access security services, centrally administered through Strata Cloud Manager.

By unifying networking and security into a singular, highly resilient cloud service, Prisma SASE reduces total cost of ownership, accelerates incident resolution times, and ensures consistent enterprise-wide protection across users, applications, and branch offices.
