Palo Alto Networks' Prisma handles cloud security

Palo Alto Networks has announced Prisma, a cloud security suite that simplifies access, data protection, and application security.

With approximately 9,000 enterprise customers, Palo Alto Networks says Prisma is the largest cloud security business in the world.

“Our approach to cloud security is aimed at delivering the best security while embracing the unique needs of the cloud. We provide customers with complete visibility as well as
recommended configurations across their entire cloud environment to ensure a strong security posture from the start and consistently prevent attacks,” said Lee Klarich, Chief Product Officer at
Palo Alto Networks.

“With Prisma, organisations can securely connect office branches and
mobile users to the cloud, confidently embrace the use of software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, and rapidly develop and deploy cloud applications.”

The suite consists of four key components:

● Prisma Access* secures access to the cloud for branch offices and mobile users anywhere in the world with a scalable, cloud-native architecture, blending enterprise-grade security with a globally scalable network. It will soon run on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), extending the service to more than 100 locations for an even faster and more localised experience.

Customers will also have access to a cloud management user interface (UI) that enables rapid onboarding of branches and users. In addition, Prisma Access will include capabilities specifically designed for service
providers to enable the rapid provisioning of secure outbound Internet connectivity for their customers.

● Prisma Public Cloud** provides continuous visibility, security, and compliance monitoring across public multicloud deployments. Powered by machine learning, it correlates data and assesses risk across the cloud environment.

With the ability to detect vulnerabilities and fix improper configurations in customers’ infrastructure-as-code templates, developers can reduce
risk without sacrificing agility.

● Prisma SaaS*** is a multimode cloud access security broker (CASB) service that safely enables SaaS application adoption. It provides advanced capabilities in risk discovery,
adaptive access control, data loss prevention, compliance assurance, data governance, user behaviour monitoring, and advanced threat prevention.

New integrations will bring improved administration experience across IT-sanctioned and IT-unsanctioned SaaS applications with unified visibility and management.

● VM-Series is the virtualised form factor of the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall that can be deployed in private and public cloud computing environments,
including Amazon Web Services (AWS), GCP, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud,
Alibaba Cloud, and VMware NSX. The VM-Series is also enhanced through
infrastructure-as-code automation for deployment and configuration.
