Prisma SASE
Legacy network architectures no longer work in today’s cloud-enabled world. Traditional hub and spoke architectures with disparate network and security stacks don’t scale for hybrid work and cloud. Gaps in security with inconsistent capabilities and policies depending on a user’s physical location increase data breach risk. Backhauling of traffic to a data center for security policy enforcement creates latency and a bad user experience. Prisma SASE consistently secures all apps used by your hybrid workforce, regardless of whether users are at home, on the go, or in the office. ZTNA 2.0 protects all application traffic with best-in-class capabilities while securing access and data to dramatically reduce the risk of a data breach. Prisma SASE simplifies operations by converging best-of-breed networking and security into a single service. Unified management and a shared data lake improve team collaboration and streamline operations.
