Secure Inbound Access for Remote Network Sites

Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
  • Prisma Access license that includes Net Interconnect for Site-to-Site and User-to-Site Access
Prisma Access for remote networks allows outbound access to internet-connected applications. In some cases, your organization might have a requirement to provide inbound access to an application or website at a remote site, and provide secure access to that application for any internet-connected user—not just users who are protected by Prisma Access. For example:
  • You host a public-facing custom application or portal at a remote network site.
  • You have a lab or staging environment for which you want to provide secure access.
  • You have a need to provide access to an application or website to users who are not members of an organizational domain.
  • You have IoT devices that require access to an internal asset management, tracking, or status application.
To do this, create a remote network that allows secure inbound access. If you require outbound access as well as inbound access for a remote network site, create two remote networks in the same location—one for inbound access and one for outbound access.
While this solution can provide access for up to 50,000 concurrent inbound sessions per remote network, Palo Alto Networks does not recommend using this solution to provide access to a high-volume application or website.
