In a recent blog published by Palo Alto Networks, it was revealed that Prisma Access is the Leading Cloud Service to Secure remote workers.
As workforces moved en masse to remote working models in 2020 the way in which we work across all industries changed across the world. Previous security frameworks are no longer in line with today’s new remote working models.
In the last month Microsoft released a list of apps in the Azure AD app gallery that made the most impact in 2020 that enabled organisations to stay productive during the pandemic, and Prisma Access was listed as the leading cloud-delivered security app by active monthly users and also by the number of organisations.
The benefits of Prisma Access – Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) include the following for today’s remote workforce:
- Complete security for remote workers and all staff
- Secure access to all apps
- Good user performance with real-time security
- Great user experiences from the office or home

*Referenced from a Feb 21 Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access blog
- Prisma Access protects all app traffic – Users can gain access to all apps with a Zero Trust Network Access approach, while organizations can ensure they are secure against all threats, not just web-based apps and threats. Palo Alto Networks analyzed the threat data from more than 500 enterprise customers and found that 53% of all remote workforce threats are for non-web apps, which web proxy-based solutions can’t prevent. In fact, Prisma Access helps decrease the likelihood of a data breach by 45%.*
- Prisma Access delivers complete best-in-class security – Integrated threat prevention, web filtering, secure web gateway (SWG), firewall as a service (FWaaS), cloud access security broker (CASB) and more converge into a single cloud-delivered platform with 4.3M security updates per day, allowing organizations to rest assured their users and data are secure.*
- And all these features, while ensuring exceptional user experience – With a massively scalable network with ultra-low latency, organizations can provide the best digital experience for their end users no matter where they are located globally. Prisma Access delivers 10x more network throughput per tunnel for a faster remote access connection, plus 10x better performance SLA than other security vendors.*
