    Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS)

    Feature
    		Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
    Advanced DNS Security Powered by Precision AI®:
    DNS Hijacking and Misconfiguration Prevention√
    Minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    		√
    Minimum Cloud Services plugin of 6.0 and minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    Meticulously detects and immediately blocks DNS hijacking (where attackers alter DNS records to redirect traffic) and accidental or malicious DNS misconfigurations. This ensures the integrity of DNS resolution by preventing unauthorized redirection through advanced monitoring and analysis.
    Malicious Traffic Distribution System (TDS)√
    Minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    		√
    Minimum Cloud Services plugin of 6.0 and minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    Combats threats hidden within malicious TDS—sophisticated attack frameworks that use complex DNS schemes to distribute malware and exploit kits. The service analyzes DNS traffic patterns to identify indicators of compromise (IOCs), effectively blocking access to these malicious distribution channels.
    Domain Masquerading Protection√
    Minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    		√
    Minimum Cloud Services plugin of 6.0 and minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    Safeguards against domain masquerading by identifying and blocking malicious domains that closely resemble legitimate ones (typosquatting). It uses cutting-edge AI and machine learning algorithms to analyze vast amounts of DNS data, detecting subtle patterns and characteristic behaviors associated with spoofed or malicious domains.
    Advanced URL Filtering
    Compromised Website√
    Minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    		√
    Minimum Cloud Services plugin of 6.0 and minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    This category specifically identifies legitimate websites that have been hacked or infected with malicious content. This allows you to use granular policy control to distinguish between inherently malicious sites and otherwise trustworthy sites that have been temporarily compromised.
    File Converter√
    Minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    		√
    Minimum Cloud Services plugin of 6.0 and minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    This categorizes sites that allow users to convert, compress, or modify files. This new category helps organizations manage access to these tools, mitigating data leakage and compliance risks associated with unauthorized file sharing and modification.
    ML-powered Quishing (QR Code) Protection√
    Minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    		√
    Minimum Cloud Services plugin of 6.0 and minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    Blocks quishing attacks by introducing an ML-powered QR code detector. This feature specifically addresses the growing threat of malicious QR codes embedded on legitimate websites, which attackers use to bypass the perimeter defenses of enterprise-protected networks and target unmanaged personal devices.
    Deepfake Content Detection√
    Minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    		√
    Minimum Cloud Services plugin of 6.0 and minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    Protects against hyper-realistic social engineering. A new deep learning model is active to identify and block malicious content featuring deepfake videos. This provides essential protection from attackers who use highly convincing deepfake impersonations of trusted individuals in phishing attacks.
    Advanced WildFire® Powered by Precision AI
    PDF Analysis for Phishing√
    Minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    		√
    Minimum Cloud Services plugin of 6.0 and minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based deep learning model is available. This model analyzes the visual appearance (in addition to the text) of embedded URLs in PDF files to detect highly evasive, embedded phishing attacks that exploit the PDF format.
    API Vector Categorization√
    Minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    		√
    Minimum Cloud Services plugin of 6.0 and minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    Leverages Machine Learning (ML) to perform in-memory analysis of the patterns and sequences of API calls made by malware during runtime. This advanced approach creates a unique behavioral "fingerprint" (API Vector) to accurately identify and classify highly evasive, fileless, and memory-resident attacks that bypass conventional analysis.
    Multi-CPU advanced dynamic analysis√
    Minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    		√
    Minimum Cloud Services plugin of 6.0 and minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    Enhances Advanced Dynamic Analysis (sandboxing) by including multiple virtual CPUs (vCPUs) in the Windows guest sandbox environment. This capability is specifically designed to defeat sophisticated malware that evades detection by checking for and refusing to execute in single-CPU virtual environments.
    Advanced Threat Prevention Powered by Precision AI
    Exfiltration Shield for Advanced Threat Prevention√
    Minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    		√
    Minimum Cloud Services plugin of 6.0 and minimum dataplane version of PAN-OS® 11.2 required
    Uses a sophisticated machine learning (ML) model to combat advanced data exfiltration. This feature focuses on detecting stealthy data egress over common protocols like DNS relay and HTTP headers, which are frequently used to bypass traditional security. Integration is seamless with existing Advanced DNS Security and ATP subscriptions.

    Panorama Managed Multitenant Unsupported Features and Functionality

    Starting April 15, 2026, Panorama-based Prisma Access multi-tenancy will no longer be offered for new Prisma Access deployments. If you require multi-tenancy for new deployments after April 15, 2026, Palo Alto Networks strongly recommends that you use Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager), where you can manage tenants using Strata Multitenant Cloud Manager. If you currently use Panorama for multi-tenancy, your deployment continues to operate with full support with no required changes to your environments or day-to-day operations, and existing deployments remain fully supported. However, as innovation shifts toward next-generation platforms, certain future features introduced after April 15, 2026, may be available exclusively through the newer SCM management experience.
    We do not support the following features in a Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama) multitenant deployment:
    In addition, a Panorama managed multitenant deployment has changes to the following functionality:
    • You cannot view your Panorama managed tenants under Common Services: Tenant Management.
    • For Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama), continue to use Panorama for managing Prisma Access and the admin access that Panorama controls locally. You cannot manage users, roles, and services accounts using Common Services: Identity and Access for Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama). However, you can use Common Services: Identity and Access for managing other apps such as ADEM and Insights.
    • You cannot use the Prisma Access APIs in pan-dev.
    The following Prisma Access components and add-ons have the following caveats when used in a multitenant deployment:
    • For the following components, if you have an existing Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama) non-multitenant deployment and convert it to a multitenant deployment, only the first tenant (the tenant you migrated) supports these components. Any subsequent tenants you create for the multitenant deployment after the first one do not support these components:
    • SaaS Security and Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (Enterprise DLP) support multitenancy with the following restrictions:
      • Only a superuser on Panorama can create DLP profiles and patterns and can associate DLP profiles to Security policy rules for tenants.
      • A superuser must commit all changes to Panorama whenever they make changes in DLP profiles and patterns.
      • All tenants share a single copy of profiles and pattern configurations and, therefore, changes occur on all tenants.
      • Since Security policy rules can be different across tenants, each tenant can have different data filtering profiles associated with Security policy rules.
    • If you enable high availability (HA) with active and passive Panorama appliances in a multitenant deployment, you cannot change the HA pair association after you enable multitenancy.
    • You can use these features with a Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama) multitenant deployment; however you can only use them in one tenant per multitenant deployment:
