SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) today introduced
Prisma® SASE, bringing together Prisma Access and Prisma
SD-WAN into an integrated cloud-delivered service with
industry-leading network security and next-generation SD-WAN to
ensure that organizations stay secure and productive while working
fluidly between branch offices and home offices, and on the road. A
recognized SASE industry leader with nearly 2,500 SASE customers,
Palo Alto Networks is introducing further innovations for Prisma
SASE, including SD-WAN with integrated 5G to accelerate SASE
deployments to branch offices and ADEM to provide an enhanced
digital experience for users regardless of location.
According to the recently released State of Hybrid Workforce
Security 2021 report, 61% of organizations have struggled to
provide the necessary remote security to support work-from-home
capabilities — accelerating the critical need for SASE to improve
the security, connectivity and productivity for hybrid workers.
"Hybrid work is here to stay, and organizations are in need of a
solution that enables them to secure access to all applications
used by their employees on their network regardless of location —
remote, mobile or from the office," said Anand Oswal, senior vice president of products,
Firewall as a Platform at Palo Alto Networks. "Prisma SASE is a
massively distributed cloud service that provides the industry's
most complete SASE solution on the market, making it extremely easy
for organizations to scale and secure their hybrid workforce while
delivering an exceptional user experience."
Prisma SASE will be rolling out new capabilities including:
- New bundled SKUs, making it simpler for
customers to adopt SASE. Prisma SASE converges Zero Trust Network
Access (ZTNA), Cloud Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access
Security Broker (CASB), Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) and SD-WAN
into a single solution.
- New SD-WAN appliance with integrated 5G (ION 1200),
offering organizations the ability to deliver 5G WAN connectivity
to branch networks as part of the Prisma SASE solution, including
the ability to run active/active 5G WAN interfaces for carrier
redundancy.
- New CloudBlades integrations, including ServiceNow,
Microsoft Teams and Zoom for improved hybrid work connectivity.
CloudBlades is a platform that provides organizations with the
ability to integrate various cloud services into the Prisma SASE
solution via APIs.
- Industry's only SASE-native Autonomous Digital Experience
Management, introducing a new digital experience for all users
and branch offices on Prisma SD-WAN (introduced earlier in 2021 to
mobile users on Prisma Access) while providing visibility into
cloud infrastructure performance, application performance and user
traffic monitoring.
- Integrated Cloud Secure Web Gateway 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.
"Organizations are actively deploying applications across data
centers, public clouds and edge locations for workers at home,
corporate or remote locations. These highly distributed
environments are driving the need for secure connectivity. In fact,
ESG research identified that the top network priority for
organizations in 2021 is to ensure a tightly integrated network and
security solution," stated Bob
Laliberte, senior analyst for ESG. "Palo Alto Networks
Prisma SASE enables organizations to fulfill that requirement by
delivering a tightly integrated and comprehensive secure access
service edge solution that combines security, networking and
digital experience management. This includes the ability to
leverage active-active 5G wireless WAN with carrier redundancy in
the new ION-1200 appliance, highlighting its role as an industry
innovator."
"With Prisma SD-WAN, we've been able to transform our retail
stores and enable completely new ways to engage with our customers,
providing a fluid experience between online and in-store shopping,"
said Tommy Meek, Chief Information
Officer at Aaron's, a leading omnichannel provider of lease-to-own
home furnishings, consumer electronics, and more. "We think
combining Prisma SD-WAN with Prisma Access to provide SASE
capabilities can accelerate digital transformation for
organizations like ours."
"AT&T has a critical role in helping businesses transform
their network and security infrastructure through SASE," said
Rupesh Chokshi, VP, AT&T
Cybersecurity. "Palo Alto Networks' release of Prisma SASE
aligns with our strategy to connect and protect users at scale to
drive innovation at the edge."
