Prisma Access CASB

Prisma Access CASB is a cloud access security broker module integrated natively into the Prisma Access SASE platform, engineered to deliver complete visibility, advanced data protection, and continuous threat prevention across sanctioned, unmanaged, and shadow SaaS applications. As modern enterprises migrate business-critical workflows to cloud-hosted software, Prisma Access CASB addresses data exposure risks by monitoring user interactions, identifying unsanctioned software adoption, and preventing sensitive data exfiltration in real time.

The platform provides a dual-mode deployment combining inline deep packet inspection with out-of-band cloud API monitoring, completely eliminating the operational headaches and certificate management challenges of legacy forward-proxy architectures. It integrates natively with Palo Alto Networks Enterprise DLP, leveraging machine learning and natural language processing models to accurately classify sensitive information such as financial records, health data, and corporate intellectual property across cloud repositories. The solution also connects via certified APIs to major enterprise SaaS platforms, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Slack, Box, and ServiceNow, auditing user activity and shared file permissions.

Major enterprise use cases include shadow IT discovery, continuous SaaS compliance auditing, collaborative cloud data loss prevention, malicious file scanning in SaaS storage, and unmanaged app access control. By providing unified, context-aware policy enforcement across all cloud applications, Prisma Access CASB empowers organizations to secure sensitive enterprise assets without degrading employee productivity.
