The Prisma Access Agent is an application that's available on macOS or Windows devices to enable you to access your organization’s applications and services securely from anywhere in the world. Prisma Access Agent uses principles of Zero Trust network access and the same security policies that protect the sensitive resources in your organization's network.
Use the Prisma Access Agent to access your organization's network, resources in the network, software-as-a-service applications, or the internet, and to secure your device against threats that you might encounter on the internet. When connected, Prisma Access Agent sends traffic from your device to Prisma Access or NGFW, where the data is inspected and secured from threats and malware.
Depending on how your administrator configured the Prisma Access Agent, you will connect using one of the following connection modes:
  • Always On—In always on mode, you're automatically connected to your network using the best available Prisma Access location whenever you log on to your device.
  • On Demand—In on-demand mode, you decide when to connect to the best location using the Prisma Access Agent app.
If your company requires you to access your organization's network and resources based on membership in a project, use the Dynamic Privilege Access enabled Prisma Access Agent to access your projects.
