Benefits of working with a Palo Alto Partner

Prisma Access

Prisma® Access by Palo Alto Networks® revolutionizes traditional methods of securely enabling remote workforces with its comprehensive cloud-based security platform. With Prisma Access, companies can ensure secure connectivity for all users—regardless of location—while minimizing risk. 

This all-in-one platform boasts top-of-the-line security capabilities that optimize enterprise security while guaranteeing scalability and superior performance for users. Prisma Access can detect and prevent data breaches by inspecting both inbound and outbound application traffic, including SSL/TLS-encrypted traffic on all communication ports, whether to the Cloud, the Internet, the data center, or between branches. Additionally, Prisma Access affords an unparalleled range of security coverage, consolidating multiple point products into a single platform that includes Firewall as a Service (FWaaS), zero-trust network access (ZTNA), cloud access security broker (CASB), secure web gateway (SWG), and more, all accessible through one cloud console. 

Prisma Access is powered by a massively scalable network, with over 100 service access points in 76 countries, leveraging the infrastructure of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud to ensure ultra-low latency. Furthermore, it is backed by industry-leading service-level agreements (SLAs), guaranteeing a seamless digital experience for all users.

Prisma SD-WAN

Prisma is the latest SD-WAN technology and differentiates itself from other providers with its unique SASE-native digital experience management (DEM) and Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM) features. These features provide consistent, high-quality customer experiences and robust security across network access points, whether at the branch, through remote access, or across various mobile devices.

Prisma fully integrates SASE and allows you to consolidate security services into a single platform, which includes ZTNA, SWG, CASB, FWaaS, and SD-WAN. Prisma also has integrated 5G and SD-branch capabilities, including integrated switching with universal power over ethernet (UPoE) that powers end-user devices without additional switch appliances.

To minimize service interruptions with automated third-party deployments that deliver branch services, Prisma includes CloudBlades. AlOps tools grant admins visibility into VPNs, circuits, and overall site health, allowing them to review analytics and insights in dashboards. The ADEM feature generates more visibility into traffic, user endpoints, and IoT devices using AI-driven experience management.

Finally, Prisma features an industry-leading 99.999% service-level agreement (SLA), which guarantees optimal connectivity for your users even during a service disruption. Prisma SD-WAN seamlessly shifts to the most optimal cloud location, mitigating potentially expensive business interruptions. Plus, Palo Alto Networks SLA ensures that the reliability of this technology is unparalleled.
