Prisma SASE
Palo Alto Networks' SASE platform, combining Prisma Access (cloud-delivered zero trust access and secure web gateway) with Prisma SD-WAN branch connectivity — the latter inherited from its 2020 acquisition of CloudGenix. Both are managed through Strata Cloud Manager, the same console used for the company's on-prem NGFWs.
