Prisma Access

Prisma Access is a cloud-delivered security platform from Palo Alto Networks that gives remote and branch users secure access to the internet, SaaS apps and private applications. It is part of the company's Prisma SASE portfolio and is designed to replace traditional VPN concentrators and on-site security appliances.

The service inspects traffic in the vendor's cloud and applies consistent security policy regardless of where a person works. Typical capabilities include a secure web gateway, firewall as a service, zero trust network access, cloud access security broker features and data loss prevention, managed from a central console.

Prisma Access is a commercial, vendor-hosted subscription aimed at larger organizations with hybrid workforces and many sites. It is often considered alongside other SASE and security service edge offerings, and pricing is arranged through the vendor or its partners.
