The Prisma Access Agent, a next-generation mobile access agent built for today's hybrid workforce, delivers secure and convenient access to both enterprise apps and the internet, and also simplifies network, IT and security operations for an organization.
Your end users can use the Prisma Access Agent to securely access your organization's network, resources within the network, SaaS applications, or the internet from any location. The Prisma Access Agent enables your users to easily connect to corporate headquarters, data centers, branch offices, or educational institutions where Prisma Access is deployed. When they connect to Prisma Access locations while working from anywhere, they benefit from the same security policies that protect the sensitive resources in your organization's network.
In addition, the Prisma Access Agent can help secure your endpoints from threats and malware through Advanced Threat Prevention, Advanced URL Filtering, DNS Security, Advanced WildFire, and more.
To manage the Prisma Access Agents that are deployed to mobile users in your organization, Prisma Access Agent provides an inventory view (ManagePrisma Access Agent) that serves as a single point of control of the agents. There, you can simplify the lifecycle management of the agents, including deployment, configuration, and visibility into the agents for troubleshooting, remediation, and maintenance.
