Palo Alto Networks’s new Prisma SASE offers integrated cloud-delivered service
Network security specialist Palo Alto Networks Inc. today announced Prisma SASE, a new product that brings together Prisma Access and Prisma SD-WAN into an integrated cloud-delivered service.
The new product combines network security known as secure access service edge or SASE and software-defined wide-area networking or SD-WAN to ensure that organizations stay secure and productive while working in corporate offices, branch offices, home offices and on the road.
New innovations in Prisma SASE include SD-WAN with integrated 5G to accelerate SASE deployments to branch offices and Autonomous Digital Experience Management or ADEM to provide an enhanced online experience for users regardless of location.
Capabilities include a new bundled product covering zero-trust network access, cloud secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, firewall-as-a-service and SD-WAN. The bundle is said to make it simpler for customers to adopt SASE.
The SD-WAN appliance with integrated 5G (ION 1200) offers organizations the ability to deliver 5G WAN connectivity to branch networks as part of the Prisma SASE solution, including the ability to run so-called active/active 5G WAN interfaces for carrier redundancy.
Prisma SASE includes new CloudBlades integrations, including support for ServiceNow Inc., Microsoft Corp.’s Teams and Zoom Video Communications Inc. for improved hybrid work connectivity. CloudBlades is noted as a platform that provides organizations with the ability to integrate various cloud services into the Prisma SASE solution via application programming interfaces.
The new product includes the industry’s only SASE-native autonomous digital experience management, the company claims. That introduces a new digital experience for all users and branch offices on Prisma SD-WAN, which was introduced earlier in 2021 to mobile users on Prisma Access, while providing visibility into cloud infrastructure performance, application performance and user traffic monitoring.
Finally, the new release includes integrated cloud secure web gateways with reimagined configuration workflows, providing very simple and easy-to-define web security rules with predefined recommendations and continuous assessments to accommodate the needs of a hybrid workforce.
The announcement follows Palo Alto Networks on Sept. 8 adding new Prisma Cloud tools to isolate application containers for security risks.
